Offensive OSINT Methodology

攻击性 OSINT 方法论

Workflow

工作流

  1. Define target scope (domain, org, person, crypto address, or geo subject)
  2. Select applicable categories below based on scope
  3. Work top-down within each category; pivot on discovered artifacts
  4. Archive every key artifact: URL + timestamp + screenshot (PNG) + hash (SHA-256)
  5. Log findings in JSONL with a
    run_id
    and tool versions for reproducibility
  6. Suggest next steps based on what each tool returns

  1. 定义目标范围(域名、组织、个人、加密货币地址或地理主体)
  2. 根据范围选择下方适用的分类
  3. 在每个分类内自上而下开展调查;根据发现的关联工件进行 pivot
  4. 归档每一项关键工件:URL + 时间戳 + 截图(PNG)+ 哈希(SHA-256)
  5. 使用
    run_id
    和工具版本将发现记录在 JSONL 中,以确保可复现性
  6. 根据每个工具返回的结果建议后续步骤
