Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons Podcast

Open Source Intelligence


Listen Later

If someone decided to dig into your life – perhaps even try to ‘dox’ you – how might they go about doing that? What could they find about you right now on the internet? You might be surprised at how much information is readily available from public sources, including your local government agencies and state databases. Today I’ll be talking with Jason Edison from Intel Techniques whose day job is using open source intelligence, or OSINT, to find suspected criminals and whose night job is helping people remove that same information to protect their privacy and even personal security.
