Research fields
The main research fields, in plain language.
Each field states what the work actually involves, who it suits, the first steps, and the limits it does not cross. Start with OSINT if you are new.
OSINT: Open-source researchOSINT means collecting information from public sources and reporting it in a way that can be checked. This is the main starting point for beginners.GEOINT: Location and visual verificationGEOINT compares visible location and time clues with maps, satellite imagery, and public geographic sources. The goal is to narrow candidates and write confidence clearly.SOCMINT: Social media verificationSOCMINT reviews social media content by source, date, context, and cross-platform checks. This section is for passive, public, and safe verification.CTI: Threat intelligenceCTI helps read technical indicators in context and turn them into defensive decisions. The workflows here focus on passive checking, verification, and reporting.HUMINT: Source notes and interviewsIn this library, HUMINT does not mean manipulation or contact tactics. It means consent-based interviews, source assessment, evidence judgment, and careful reporting.FININT: Financial and blockchain tracesFININT here means reading financial claims through public records and blockchain data with care. Attribution and ownership claims should always carry confidence levels.
