I am an Open Source Intelligence professional. I conduct private investigations and intelligence collections for private citizens, corporations, governments and other 'intelligence consumers.'

If anyone ever wants to talk about digital collection/surveillance, encryption, online privacy, geo-tagging or metadata, let me know. Happy to talk about it.

One way that I verify the email addresses of my targets is through SMTP verification through Maltego.

Cool video on how to do it here. And its free. Have fun.

SPC Craig Smith, all of these techniques are interesting. It is sad to know that the vast majority of our people have no idea about what their activities on the internet can result in. You are talking about doing things for good, but where there are good actions there are also more bad actions that can be taken.
