Open Source Intelligence Techniques: Resources for Searching and Analyzing Online Information

I purchased this to assist me with my day job and i have to say, its a great resource to go to from time to time.Its suggested that this can be used to build someone from having nothing set up for OSINT to being able to fully investigate and gain intelligence etc. As i haven't used this resource for that purpose and simply used it as an aid i cannot comment either way from that perspective.I think that if you have the last version then i wouldnt be rushing out to replace it, however if you are 2/3 versions behind or simply don't have a version yet this is the book for you.Its simply great.

An excellent source of information. I'm new to the OSINT 'game', this book came highly recommended and I can see why. I built the VM step by step to understand what was going on and afterwards ran the build script that is provided. I'm only about 25% of the way through but am very impressed. Money well spent.

One of the best resources you could possibly find. Just taking his course now! Also check out the podcast. Really authentic, great quality information throughout.

Still reading, but great so far (if you want a book on OSINT. Otherwise really boring.)Nice instructions on setting up a VM.

this was a present for my son

Update: up to four start from two after reading. Still needs heavy editing, there is simply too much superfluous text.Technically the book has good information and if you're new to the field you'll likely to learn something.The amount of filler sentences and words though! Even with all the command listings the book should be half the size. The author uses KDP (self-publishing on Amazon), that's why the price is so high. With the code listings online and good editing he'd probably make more profit with less work having to maintain everything. For all the smarts of investigators - I could do with less hefty tome even though it might be good for my abs.

Quality book with quality information

I was at my friend's a few months ago and started reading this as it was a subject I'm very much interested in. Extremely detailed. I had to ask my friend to borrow it as it was a big read. I'm about more or less half way. I love it so much I'm buying this book myself now and his other books too. Super well done on writing this. I'll look forward to any new books you write. You're a God amongst men.

A very interesting if not necessary book if you do OSINT

Mike continues to pour his heart and soul into this work. He is clear in his intention and detailed about his facts. It is a pleasure to also 'hear his voice' while reading, because you can clearly understand that he is using these tools. He is not a textbook writer; he is an intelligence professional who happens to write. My only complaint is volume (the damn thing is too heavy!). It may be time to break this work into a serial production, where sections are updated, but fundamentals remain constant, such as the OSINT model, legal and ethical treatise.The journey the 8th edition takes us on, is not merely updates and technical changes, but a clear demonstration of OSINT moving away from collection-to-analysis, to defined steps along each moment you are touching data. This book immediately gets us into Linux and platforms for preparation, which our work needs. He also shows our vulnerability-to-exposure is no longer something you can sock puppet your way out of. We need to move from the intelligence lifecycle to the scientific method to meet the need of discovery, evidence, and fact-based intelligence delivery.This may be Mike's 8th edition of one book and certainly he is busy in other areas, but I would say he is only getting started, and anything Bazzell produces is worth throwing in your backpack, no matter how heavy, because it is worth its weight! Great job Mike, thanks! Cynthia

molto dettagliato ed istruttivo
