A well-defined #CrimeAnalysis Program is of paramount importance. Highlighting specific goals, focusing on targeted crime types, aligning output with agency mission, and introducing precise calculations for resource allocations are factors too important to overlook. https://lnkd.in/e-2rHQpu

What is the most important piece of information for an OSINT investigator? Scope of the investigation aside, a few years ago, I would have said that having the subject's date of birth (DOB) was invaluable, second only to their name. Today, however, I believe that having the subject's email(s) is the most crucial detail. An email address can unlock a Pandora's box of information, thanks to data aggregators and breach notification services. While phone numbers are useful, nearly every account requires an email for sign-up, whereas only some ask for a phone number. Reminder that most people have at least 2-3 emails: a work email, a personal email, and an old/spam email. Students often have an additional school email. In the world of OSINT, email addresses are a key to uncovering extensive information... all we need is a breadcrumb. The tools I use to search emails (and phone numbers): OSINT Industries Epieos What piece of information is the most important to you?

Ethical Standards in OSINT: A Must for Modern Policing - Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) isn’t just powerful; it comes with a responsibility. To leverage OSINT effectively, LEAs must adhere to privacy and civil rights standards, such as those laid out by the Bureau of Justice Administration. ⚖️ Best practices include evaluating source reliability, confirming compliance with agency privacy policies, and ensuring consistent oversight. Ethical usage isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for public trust and legally sound investigations. #EthicsInPolicing #OSINTCompliance #LawEnforcement #PrivacyMatters #SpokeoBusiness #SpokeoForBusiness #SpokeoForLawEnforcement

This is a fantastic article by Belkasoft on Telegram parsing. Other vendors should follow Belkasoft's lead in breaking down how the data structures that the tool parses work. This was really well done. Worth the read. #DigitalForensics #MobileForensics #DFIR

#DFIR Tip of the Day: Utilizing KAPE Kroll Artifact Parser and Extractor (KAPE) is a powerful tool for rapid forensic data collection and analysis. 1. Targeted Data Collection: - Definition: KAPE uses Targets to specify exactly what data to collect, minimizing the time and storage needed. - Usage: Select predefined or custom Targets to gather specific artifacts like event logs, registry hives, and browser history. You can also write custom commands. 2. Efficient Parsing: - Definition: KAPE can also use Modules to parse collected data automatically. - Usage: Apply Modules to transform raw data into meaningful output, such as CSV or JSON files, for quick analysis and even run it through other tools. 3. Speed and Flexibility: - Definition: KAPE's design allows for rapid deployment and execution, making it ideal for both live response and static analysis. - Usage: Execute KAPE from a USB drive or over a network to swiftly collect and process data from multiple end points.
