Open Source Intelligence
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source intelligence (OSINT) is, for lack of a universally-accepted
| formal definition, information of value that you don’t have to steal with
| spies or technical means. It can be free or you might have to pay for it but
| the thrust is that it is not classified or otherwise restricted by a
| government entity. To an extent we all use OSINT every day for any decision
| of substance; you identify a question that needs to be answered, you gather
| information that will help you make an informed decision, you process or
| analyze that information, and you make a decision based on the outcome of
| your analytic process. You don’t need a spy or satellite to tell you which
| car to buy; in many cases a government doesn’t need either of those tools to
| help it decide whether or not to take some kind of political action against
| an adversary. A simplistic comparison to be sure, but at the other end of the
| spectrum consider that all global business runs on OSINT, not secrets.
