Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is publicly available information including radio, television, newspapers, journals, the Internet, commercial databases, videos, graphics, and drawings. We can mine and correlate this information to profile a person or company in order to find or track an individual, look for affiliations or look for relationships between people or companies.
