Skillset for OSINT analysts to get started - part one

Introduction In today’s article me and my colleague Polina will speak about the professional skillset that, in our opinion, every OSINT analyst must have or try to develop to enhance their career. The reality that we have to face, is that there is jet not a bachelor's degree or a specific OSINT master's, and if on one side this enriches the analysts landscape with a huge variety of backgrounds and different types of mentality, for a person which would like to approach OSINT and understand how to become a professional, the lack of a specific study courses could leave them disoriented and without knowledge about where to start.

📚 Meet the e-book with selected writings of Fravia: a philosopher, a reverse engineer, and a master of search.

https://soxoj.substack.com/p/book-fravia-the-art-of-searching

A medievalist and informatician-linguist, shifted from the cracking topic to search lessons. He pioneered internet search 25 years ago; he explored propaganda a decade before Bellingcat began. I'd like to rediscover it for OSINT specialists and a wide audience.

Enjoy reading!
