Overview

What is OSINT

  • What OSINT means

    Open-source intelligence is the collection and analysis of publicly available information from legal sources - social media, public records, domain registrations, forums, and other data that does not require hacking or unauthorised access.

  • What it can establish

    Identity correlation, account linkage, geographic indicators, organisational connections, and online behaviour patterns - building a picture of who may be behind wallet activity or a scam operation.

  • What it cannot do

    OSINT operates within legal boundaries. It does not involve hacking, unauthorised access, surveillance, or obtaining private data without lawful authority. We document sources and limitations clearly.

  • How it works alongside blockchain forensics

    On-chain tracing identifies wallet activity and fund flows. OSINT identifies the person or organisation behind the wallet - together they produce a complete investigation picture.

  • Admissibility

    OSINT findings are documented to a standard suitable for use in NZ legal proceedings and police complaints - with clear source attribution, methodology, and limitations recorded throughout.
