Support

Keep CSINT open,
and the archive maintained.

CSINT is not a membership gate. The resource shelves, handbooks, and case notes remain open.

Support helps cover domain costs, tool maintenance, link checks, Telegram bot infrastructure, and new educational files.

Card details are not handled by CSINT. If you choose to support the project, payment opens on Buy Me a Coffee.

Maintenance items

Not flashy. Necessary.

Before the archive looks good, it has to work well. Support goes to the quiet work that has to be done regularly.

upkeep 01

Resource maintenance

Dead link checks, short description updates, and cleaner verification notes.

upkeep 02

Case files

Training case notes, report examples, and controlled practice files.

upkeep 03

PDFs and guides

Short field notes, handbook updates, and downloadable checklists.

upkeep 04

Safe research work

Maintenance and development time that keeps the project defensive, educational, and verification-focused.

Independence rule

Support does not mean a source is promoted or a warning note is softened. Sponsored visibility is marked clearly. The trust of the archive matters more than the support model.

Where support goes

  • More regular source freshness checks and dead link review
  • More public-source collections for country and institution research
  • Short PDF field notes for beginners
  • Report Builder and checklist improvements
  • New workflow pages based on community feedback

Organization note

Organizational consulting

A defensive OSINT workflow can be built.

For organizations, CSINT can help with source selection, verification flow, and reporting structure. The aim is not offensive collection. It is to make open-source research more organized, safer, and easier to review.

  • No person-targeting, doxxing, or stalking work.
  • No unauthorized access, phishing, malware, or exploit attempts.
  • Work is limited to defense, education, compliance, brand protection, and verification.
