OSINT stands for open source intelligence.
OSINT Concept
Nothing beats Three Days of the Condor, a 1975 American political thriller film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, and Max von Sydow, based on the 1974 novel Six Days of the Condor by James Grady, brilliantly describing the very essence of OSINT:
“Listen. I work for the CIA. I am not a spy. I just read books! We read everything that’s published in the world. And we… we feed the plots – dirty tricks, codes – into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, I look for new ideas… We read adventures and novels and journals. I… I… Who’d invent a job like that?”, says Joe Turner, an OSINT analyst from Three Days of the Condor caught in a whirlwind of spy intrigue.
