Masalovich Andrey Igorevich - Vice-President of the IAPD in his speech shared his experience of using OSTIN - open source intelligence. The Americans first wrote a book about this activity in 1945, but it was not popular.
The world has changed, our devices have begun to "spy on us", businesses have taken notice of this, and practical techniques have been developed to find information in open sources.
For example, a photograph, even not entirely successful, can give a lot of detailed information about the objects, people, objects on it.
Open source intelligence - 50% is some knowledge of certain tools or methods of working with the Internet and 50% is the skills that a person has in his head.
For analysts working in this area, special trainings are conducted so that they learn to quickly process information. Special exercises are offered to develop various OSTIN abilities.
It turns out that even secret information can be obtained from open data.
The result of our activity on the Internet is a digital footprint, and not only through our direct actions, but also indirect ones, for example, the movement of our car, the use of parking lots, and more.
There are open databases, thanks to which you can extract the necessary information from them. Most do not require payment, but registration is required.
Errors made as a result of generalization and posting by analysts of data on the Internet allow finding answers to many questions of interest.
