This week I have a small update from the world of OSINT for you, and am taking a small break for a few weeks! It is time for me to take a little break again, like I usually do every year around July or August, and it comes at a great time.

Welcome to your OSINT fix of Monday July 29, with some articles, crypto currency, a podcast and a nifty tool! I like to do things 'quick and dirty' if I need something fast, but then I always forget to actually create something for the next time I really need it.

This week a filled episode, with books and bookmarks, names and Needlestack, training and tweets! This week I spend some extra time to go over social media tracking down all the good stuff out there, and it was quite a lot! I learned a lot again, due to all the tips that people shared online with the community, which is the best thing about open source investigations: A lot of times, the tips and…
From search tools to Skip, and from X to extreme, another episode with some interesting topics from the world of OSINT I do strive to push an episode out whenever I am able to, but that doesn't always work, but I am back! So after skipping week 24, I found some interesting content that I wanted to share with you all. And one of the most interesting things, is an enormous read in the shape of a…
