At Black Hat, David Bombal sits down with OSINT pro Mishaal Khan to unpack anti-OSINT, practical steps to regain privacy without pricey services. Mishaal demos his free OperationPrivacy dashboard (400+ actions, 3 tiers: Conscious → Serious → Ghost) and shows how to:

• Freeze credit & use free monitoring

• Opt out of 100+ data brokers (Spokeo, Intelius, LexisNexis, more)

• Blur your home on Google/Bing/Apple Maps + real-world deterrents

• Claim critical accounts (IRS/DMV/USPS/UPS) and your domain

• Nudge page-one results with harmless decoys

• File copyright takedowns (Instagram/Google, etc.)

US-centric but widely applicable. DIY, trackable, and truthful about the time it takes.
