Product Description

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations require a mindset that sees relations where connections are obscure and hard to find. With this revolutionary OSINT Masterboard, you will be able to track your investigations, assign tools, TTPs, workflows and case-studies to your running project and manage all these with interlinked databases in one place. Equally suitable for seasoned professionals, as well as complete beginners, this Notion workspace will enable you to customize your toolkit to your experience, preferences and working style all the while learning more about OSINT.

What’s Included?

1. Main Page — track all your running investigations, workflows, knowledge base and templates in one place; use this to quickly navigate your databases.
2. Library — take notes, set timelines and cross-reference books, academic papers and subject-matter manuals in one place.
3. Intel Cycle — track your progress and create templates based on best practices in your customizable Intel Cycle pages; link it with task-specific workflows and your success will be guaranteed.
4. Investigations — designed to help you manage your investigative workflows, your Investigations page includes all the necessary information that you may need to effectively track, manage and prioritize your investigations.
5. Workflows — different from the Intel Cycle in that they provide useful suggestions for task-specific steps to follow, Workflows are community-sourced best practices that guide your through major tasks, such as Social Media or Person of Interest Investigations.
6. Knowledge Base — learning about OSINT and managing all the knowledge you acquire over the years is not an easy task; the Knowledge Base enables you to connect your Tools, TTPs and Workflows to any kind of knowledge input from blogs, YouTube channels, GitHub pages and more.
7. Tools — building a toolkit is part of being an OSINTer; it is an elemental experience that familiarizes you with the means and methods of the tradecraft, while forcing you to learn about technology, methodology, case-studies and more; while all this can be overwhelming at first, your Tools database will aid you keep track of your tools, while also holding notes that you can turn to when in doubt about how best to use a given technology.
8. TTPs — TTPs are always changing, constantly re-defined elements of the OSINT discourse that aim to guide the OSINTer to mission objectives by assigning capability requirements, tasks and workflows to actions and assets. If this sounds confusing, wait until you get immersed with multiple specialized sub-fields of OSINT — from Weapon Systems analysis to SOCMINT automation. The TTPs database of this workspace will aid you in both the learning process, as well as in categorizing your tools, while simultaneously enabling effective and precise mission planning for your investigations based of TTPs.
9. Templates — once you start doing OSINT investigations, you will realize that templates can spare you days when it comes to managing information, setting up services and personas, or distributing findings to clients. The Templates page serves as a lexicon of all your documents that you may use to speed up your workflows, be it by copy-pasting code snippets or pulling out a fully designed POI report as a final report.
10. Courses — learning OSINT is a life project; if you would like to keep track of the courses you have done (or more likely, the ones you would like to do in the future), the Courses page will serve you with an administrative platform where you can prioritize your learning objectives, store your notes and monitor your progress as easily as it never had been.
11. Community — I like to argue that OSINT is more of a community than an intelligence discipline; with this thought in mind, the Community page is meant to organize your OSINT connections, knowledge sources, and SMEs in one place. Bonus: each community member in this page will also automatically have a database inside that lists their contribution to the community.

Highlights

• Interlinked databases so you can always see and effectively navigate the relations between databases and entities. You don’t know how to use a tool? Just open up your Tools database and see instantly all the articles, videos and demos in your Knowledge Base that showcase how to install, manage and use it.
• Tag Ontologies specifically engineered to meet your OSINT needs; intuitively assign tags without overlap or overwhelming lists of hashtags by using these pre-engineered tags across your databases. (Helps a lot with creating new databases in the future or searching your entries for a specific type of information.)
• Templates within templates ensure that your hand is not let go once you purchased the main page of this workspace. With templates integrated into all your databases, it is impossible to be incoherent, inconsistent or messy with your notes. An extra: the templates are designed to provide you with quick views into the most useful snippets of the workspace, specifically customized to automatically display only the relevant pages you might want to view.

Extras

• Custom Intel Cycle based on current NATO doctrine and the RIS Propeller Intelligence Cycle to ensure that you can escape the usual caveats of the traditional five-stage cycle.
• Already inserted and edited workflows in the Workflows page; based on sinwindie’s OSINT collection on GitHub.
• Tested bookmarks structure to model your own OSINT toolkit on for quick access within your browser.

Not Included

In order to let you customize your experience and store only those entries that are relevant for you specifically, the following elements are NOT included in the purchase:

1. the template pages and files of the Template page (e.g. Investigative Diary)
2. entries in the Knowledge Base (e.g. “Unmasking website ownership using OSINT”)
3. Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs) as shown in the IRMCM sub-page
4. entries in the Tools, TTPs, Community, and Courses databases
5. books in the Library database
