An investigative journalist and intelligence analyst demonstrates seven OSINT tools used in professional investigations. The tools include WhatsMyName for username searches, DorkGPT and DorkSearch for Google dorking, ODCrawler for open directories, Kagi as a privacy-focused search engine, Ubicron for investigation documentation, Newspapers.com for archival research, and OSINT Industries for breach data analysis. The discussion emphasizes that effective OSINT work depends more on investigative mindset and methodology than tools alone, with practical examples from real cases involving fraud detection, missing persons, and corporate investigations. Legal and ethical considerations around breach data usage are highlighted throughout.
