Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)

A live Q&A where U.S. military members and veterans discuss and evaluate Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is intelligence collected from publicly available sources. In the intelligence community (IC), the term "open" refers to overt, publicly available sources (as opposed to covert or clandestine sources); it is not related to open-source software or public intelligence.
