Episode 6 – The Spectrum of OSINT

The Spectrum of OSINT From first searches to full-stack investigations. From beginner-friendly dorking to advanced DNS intelligence, this episode covers everything from Issue 82 and 83 of The OSINT Newsletter. In the sixth episode of the rebooted OSINT Podcast, host Jake Creps walks through two contrasting issues: one designed for newcomers learning the fundamentals of search engine OSINT, and another diving into the latest tools, field notes, and open-intelligence trends shaping the industry. Highlights include: 🧠 Dorking for Dummies – a practical beginner’s guide to search-engine OSINT, how to use operators, and why Bing and Yahoo still matter. 🔍 Beyond Google – exploring how different indexing logic, filters, and regional engines (like Yandex or Baidu) uncover what Google misses. 🕵️ The Fake Job Scam – a step-by-step walkthrough showing how a simple search query can expose a recruitment fraud. 📰 The Future of Intelligence Is Open – how OSINT is becoming the foundation of modern intelligence work, not just a supplement. 🗺️ Google Maps Review Timestamping – a clever OHsint technique by Yoni that reveals the exact posting time of any review using browser developer tools. 📡 OSINT Field Notes #1 – Ben Strick’s new series on power-grid mapping, satellite tracking, and creative visual analysis. 💻 Validin – enterprise-level DNS intelligence that brings WHOIS, certificates, subdomains, and host responses together in one platform. 🧩 Google Search Localisation – a Chrome extension that lets you change your search location to view results as if you were in any city or ZIP code. 🕵️ Doxcord - finds social media handles linked to people’s Discord profiles so you can pivot from chat identities to public accounts. Each segment bridges the gap between beginner and advanced investigation - showing how small technical skills compound into professional-level tradecraft.
