This document outlines the 5 phases of the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) process: 1) Source Identification, 2) Data Harvesting, 3) Data Processing and Integration, 4) Data Analysis, and 5) Results Delivery. OSINT involves gathering intelligence from public, open sources to identify potential threats. It describes each phase, including identifying relevant sources, collecting information, analyzing harvested data, and presenting findings.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a sub-type
of threat intelligence that includes human,
signals, and geospatial intelligence, however,
unlike the other three sub-types, OSINT
intelligence is only gathered from free, public
sources.
