Introduction to open sources
Understand the basics of OSINT and the limits of a self-led search.
PRACTICAL RESOURCES
The documentation gathers notes on useful habits, information organisation, stages of open-source research, the role of AI, the value of screenshots, case preparation and the automations that genuinely make work easier.
PRACTICAL RESOURCES
The idea is not to impress with opaque concepts, but to provide concrete footholds. How do you start? What should be kept? What deserves checking? When can an AI assistant help? What should be automated? These questions guide the content.
