Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the legal collection, evaluation, and analysis of Publicly Available Information (PAI) to produce actionable, verifiable intelligence.

OSINT is the application of the intelligence cycle—from planning to dissemination—to PAI: this is not just data, it is vetted insight. We actively pull data from diverse sources: social media, news archives, public records, and the dark web. Tools like Maltego and SpiderFoot automate the process, correlating hundreds of data points (e.g., domain registration, email addresses, geolocation) to map a target's digital footprint. This capability is critical for corporate threat intelligence (identifying leaked credentials) and high-stakes investigations, such as Bellingcat’s use of satellite imagery and social media to verify conflict events.

### [Sofia: Your AI, Your Data, Your Rules](https://manizales.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_jFw3i8kiQtA)

Sofia is a private, OSINT-powered AI assistant designed to run locally, giving users full control over their data. Built with a modular, containerized architecture using Docker, it ensures seamless deployment and portability. Developed in Python, Sofia leverages Ollama to run DeepSeek as a local AI model, eliminating cloud dependencies. Secure, adaptable, and customizable, it enhances daily workflows while prioritizing privacy and efficiency
