Frequently Asked Questions
What is OSINT?
Open source intelligence is information gathered from publicly available sources such as websites, social media, public records and technical data. In CTI, it supports investigations without accessing restricted systems.
How do you validate an OSINT source?
Check who published it, their track record, whether others corroborate it and how current it is. Record the origin, so conclusions can be traced and checked later.
How can I collect OSINT safely?
Use separate research accounts and environments, avoid interacting with targets and stay within the law. The Codelivly room is free and beginner-friendly, with hands-on collection practice.
