The Open Source Analyst: The Professional's Playbook for Digital Investigation

Your most critical investigations demand more than just a simple search. They demand a professional process.

Welcome to the definitive playbook for the modern intelligence professional.

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.

This playbook will equip you with:

The Intelligence Cycle for OSINT: Master the formal, five-step process that provides structure and discipline to every investigation, from planning to dissemination.

Advanced Database Interrogation: Learn the art of "database judo"—using information from one source to unlock another across corporate, legal, and financial records.

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.

Stop reacting to information. Start driving investigations with a proven methodology.

Become the analyst that others rely on.
