Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) or simply Information Gathering, the idea behind passive reconnaissance is to gather information about a target using only publicly available resources. As valuable as open source intelligence can be, information overload is a real concern. Most of the tools and techniques used to conduct open source intelligence initiatives are designed to help security professionals (or threat actors) focus their efforts on specific areas of interest.
