Handbooks

Field library and downloadable guides

This shelf lists PDF handbooks, short decks, and working notes published on CSINT. Each file uses the same layout: purpose, when to use it, format, and download links.

What this shelf is for

Downloadable guides for slow reading, note taking, and verification habits. They support careful work, not quick verdicts or final claims.

How to use these handbooks

  1. Pick what you need first: intro, visual checks, social media, or a focused topic.
  2. Download or open the file; read with source, date, and uncertainty notes.
  3. Cross-check with a second source before moving findings into a report.

Safe and ethical use

These files are for learning, verification, and defensive open-source research. They are not for targeting people, stalking, doxxing, or unauthorized access.

  • Do not turn open traces into identity proof or final claims.
  • Do not share sensitive location or personal detail unnecessarily.
  • Leave uncertain points marked as possible or unverified.
