Companion blog for my 2022 National Cyber Crime Conference talk about OSINT & The Art of Pivoting. Works through parts of my approach to investigating an email address: mostly #OSINT , some Law Enforcement specific stuff, and a dash of my typical goofiness.

Great OSINT techniques, when well explained, absolutely SHOULD make someone say to themselves "I could do that!" I spent a lot of years fearing that people would have that reaction when I taught them something I knew, until I realized that's actually the point.

@OsintJobs It's like building a puzzle, except there's 100 different ways to open the box, the box has way more pieces than you need, then some pieces you do need aren't even in that box, and lots of the pieces may look like they fit together even though they don't actually make the puzzle.
