Micah was very lucky to meet and get to work with the talented Ritu Gill, (@OSINTTechniques). At the recent Trace Labs (@TraceLabs) and SANS (@SANSDefense) Missing Persons CTF in Washington DC, we both noticed that many people wanted to participate but had no idea how to get started. After a few discussions, we decided to make an Introduction to OSINT video.

The brief video, posted below, highlights the following areas of OSINT:

• How to start your research
• User name searching
• Using frameworks and flowcharts
• People searching using emails and phone numbers
• Using Google advanced search operators
• Reverse image search
• Saving your data

Each of the above areas is briefly discussed so as to get you on your way to OSINTing quickly.
