OSINT

// 6 published technical guides

Open-Source Intelligence challenges test your ability to find information that is public but not obvious, using search, metadata, and geolocation.

› reference guides

  • 01

    OSINT Basics

    Find information about people, organisations, and infrastructure using only public sources — the OSINT mindset and starter toolkit.

    beginner
  • 02

    Geolocation Challenges

    Identify where a photo was taken using environmental clues, reverse image search, and map tools.

    beginner
  • 03

    Username & Social Media Footprinting

    Track online identities across platforms using automated username enumeration, avatar hashing, and data breach queries.

    beginner
  • 04

    Image & Document Metadata Analysis

    Extract hidden EXIF GPS tags, device fingerprints, and document author metadata using ExifTool and FOCA.

    beginner
  • 05

    Domain & DNS Reconnaissance

    Discover unlinked subdomains, historical WHOIS records, Certificate Transparency logs, and reverse IP lookups.

    intermediate
  • 06

    Advanced Geolocation & Satellite Analysis

    Pinpoint precise real-world locations using shadow angles, vegetation patterns, infrastructure markers, and 3D satellite modeling.
