Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) involves the lawful collection, processing, and analysis of publicly accessible digital data. From secondary forum footprints and domain registration histories to archived social metadata, OSINT enables intelligence analysts to trace threats without violating privacy laws. This guide breaks down the passive collection framework, threat actor correlation techniques, and compliance protocols under PECA 2016.

Digital evidence must adhere to rigorous chain-of-custody standards to be admissible in judicial trials or arbitration. Unverified screenshots or extracted files without SHA-256 verification hashes are routinely dismissed by courts. This guide outlines how forensic examiners capture physical bit-stream images of storage media, preserve device timestamps, and generate court-ready forensic reports.

Appointing senior executives or acquiring commercial entities requires comprehensive background verification. This guide reviews SECP corporate registry audits, beneficial ownership discovery, academic credential verification, and adverse litigation searches designed to mitigate commercial risk and prevent corporate fraud.

Threat actors frequently utilize burner SIM cards, temporary email generators, and VPN proxies to conceal their real identities while conducting harassment or blackmail. However, digital activity inevitably creates passive leaks: secondary username reuse, temporal activity overlaps, and forum cross-posting. This post details how analysts isolate these digital breadcrumbs.

WhatsApp end-to-end encryption secures messages in transit, but unauthorized access frequently occurs at endpoint devices or cloud backup locations. This post provides an actionable security checklist: auditing active Linked Web sessions, enabling end-to-end encrypted Google Drive/iCloud backups, and setting up two-step PIN verification.

The rise of generative AI image and voice tools has increased the threat of defamatory synthetic media targeting executives and public figures. This post outlines immediate defensive steps: preserving original media files with forensic hashes, obtaining an expert synthetic media verification report, and initiating DMCA takedown requests.

When a subject disconnected all mobile phone communications, STRIKE analysts initiated an OSINT collection plan targeting secondary gaming profiles and historical forum posts. By identifying passive IP login nodes and metadata timestamps, our team pinpointed the subject's location coordinate, facilitating a safe recovery alongside legal guardians.

Prior to acquiring a commercial property, a corporate client commissioned STRIKE to verify land ownership records. Our investigators discovered forged title deeds and an unrecorded secondary mortgage, preventing a multi-million rupee financial loss and providing evidence for civil litigation.

Following a commercial burglary, available CCTV footage was severely degraded by low light and video compression artifacts. STRIKE forensic specialists performed mathematical noise reduction and landmark alignment, generating a high-clarity biometric composite that led to positive subject identification.
