I am kind of on hold while I work on an Introduction to OSINT; it's taking a lot longer than I anticipated, and I have rewritten it once already to simplify some of the jargon.

The goal of the post is get folks to understand that OSINT isn't that hard, and the basics of doing it themselves.

As I consider OSINT to be an important aspect of Information War, I'm holding up the series until I get this post right AFAIAC.
