The Open Source Analyst
by Allain Verdugo is a comprehensive, structured guide to the world of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), designed for practitioners who require a rigorous, ethical, and repeatable methodology for their digital investigations.
This is not a collection of parlor tricks; it is a complete operational system.
Whether your field is threat intelligence, corporate due diligence, law enforcement, or investigative journalism, this playbook moves beyond the basics to deliver a masterclass in the tradecraft required for high-stakes intelligence work. It provides the advanced framework needed to turn the chaotic noise of public data into clear, verifiable, and actionable intelligence.

Data Mining & Analysis:
Discover techniques like clustering, stylometry, and Benford's Law to find the patterns and anomalies that others miss in large datasets.
Hardened Operational Security (OPSEC):
Implement the "OPSEC Trinity"-Anonymity, Compartmentalization, and Counter-Surveillance-to protect yourself and your mission.
A Robust Ethical Framework:
Go beyond simple legal compliance with a decision-making model for navigating the complex moral gray zones of data collection and reporting.
