The list is cool and full of interesting things. But as someone who has done OSINT a lot for journalism and legal investigations and built tools for the space I can say that people rely most on custom internal tools or the simplest/ most popular tooling among the community!

I feel like most of OSINT is more manual than these lists lead to believe. Or if not, most of it relies on already-built massive archives or tools that scrape those archives.

absolutely. it's just useful for a quick overview. real research happens when you keep digging where others haven't.

Agreed. This list is obviously tilted toward computer security; OSINT also targets nation states and political actors, and more often than not that's through non-technical means (ie looking for information carelessly left public rather than exploiting vulnerabilities to gain access to private information).

Would you mind reaching out to me? I'm trying to learn more about how to do OSINT (with that particular slant!).
