Frequently Asked Questions about OSINT

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct open-source intelligence gathering for authorized background checks?

Open-source intelligence gathering for authorized background checks is conducted using phase-driven workflows that collect, verify, and synthesize multi-source data about people or companies. The process enforces legal compliance while delivering structured findings with auditable provenance.

What is domain-first enumeration in threat intelligence investigations?

Domain-first enumeration in threat intelligence is a workflow approach that initiates open-source investigations by mapping a target domain before expanding into broader entity intelligence. It leverages parallel researcher fleets to systematically gather and verify threat actor data.

How do I run an OSINT workflow for investment due diligence?

To run an OSINT workflow for investment due diligence, initiate a guided investigation targeting a specific company and follow the prompts. The workflow collects open-source information, verifies claims through multi-source validation, and generates a structured report with auditable sources.

Can I use this OSINT approach for unauthorized investigations or personal curiosity?

This OSINT approach cannot be used for unauthorized investigations because it enforces policy-driven governance and ethical guardrails. It is strictly designed for authorized investigators conducting compliant data collection, ensuring legal compliance and ethical guidelines are maintained.

What's the best way to verify open-source information about a company or person?

The best way to verify open-source information about a company or person is through multi-source verification workflows that cross-reference claims across parallel researcher fleets. This approach ensures all synthesized findings maintain auditable sourcing and clear provenance.

Do I need prior authorization to gather threat intelligence using open sources?

Prior authorization is required to gather threat intelligence using open sources because the workflow enforces ethical guidelines and legal compliance at every phase. It is built exclusively for authorized investigators conducting due diligence, background checks, and entity intelligence.
