Briefing
Finally, we've made it to the end of the Intelligence Lifecycle. What a ride it's been covering every phase together. If you're just joining in and haven't read the earlier posts, no worries. I've got you covered. We've
Did anyone else start doing OSINT without knowing the Intelligence Lifecycle? Only me? I doubt it. I’m pretty sure a lot of us jumped in headfirst, started tracking down leads, collecting screenshots, connecting dots and never realized we were already working within a framework. So if you’re reading
A bilingual OSINT project featuring scenario-based challenges and structured analytical thinking for practical, real-world learning.
Finalmente, hemos llegado al final del Ciclo de Inteligencia. Vaya recorrido el que hemos hecho juntas cubriendo cada fase! Si es tu primera vez por aquí y no has leído las publicaciones anteriores, no te preocupes. Aquí te dejo el resumen: * Fase 1: Planeación y Dirección * Fase 2: Recolección * Fase
Casefile 015 Mrs. OSINT received a short encrypted message through a disposable inbox: “Meet me where the colors don’t match.

Last time we walked through Phase 3: Processing. I shared how Processing is more like the preparing of ingredients right before you start cooking. If you haven't read Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3, I recommend starting there to better understand the process in its entirety. Now,
La última vez hablamos de la Fase 3: Procesamiento. Compartí cómo esta etapa es como preparar los ingredientes antes de empezar a cocinar. Si aún no has leído la Fase 1, Fase 2 o Fase 3, te recomiendo comenzar ahí para tener una visión completa del proceso. Ahora sí… vamos
Casefile 014: The Meeting Point Category: Evidence Analysis- EASY For weeks, Mrs. OSINT has been tracking Phantom Signal, a handler inside a known disinformation network. His specialty isn’t spreading lies in public, it’s luring people into chasing false leads. Now, he’s reached out directly. A message arrives:
Last time we walked through Phase 2: Collection. That's where you do the fun part, the gathering of data. If you haven't read Phase 1 and/or Phase 2, I recommend starting there to better understand the process in its entirety. Now, it's time
La última vez revisamos la Fase 2: Recolección. Esa es la parte divertida: recolectar datos y caer en esos “rabbit holes” que tanto nos gustan. Si no has leído la Fase 1 o la Fase 2, te recomiendo empezar por ahí para entender todo el proceso desde el principio. Ahora
Last time we discussed Planning and Direction, and how important it is to plan before starting your research or investigation. Now comes the part that most people picture when they hear "OSINT": collecting information. Here's the thing: Phase 2 isn't just about collecting everything
La vez pasada hablamos sobre Planeación y Dirección, y de lo importante que es planear antes de iniciar tu investigación. Ahora viene la parte que la mayoría imagina cuando escucha “OSINT”: recolectar información. Pero ojo: la Fase 2 no se trata solo de guardar todo lo que encuentres. Se trata
A few weeks ago, I shared that we'd break down the Intelligence Lifecycle one phase at a time in my article The Intelligence Lifecycle Explained. My goal is to make each phase digestible, not overwhelming. Early in my career, I'll admit, I wanted to skip the
Hace unas semanas compartí que íbamos a desglosar el Ciclo de Inteligencia fase por fase en mi artículo El Ciclo de Inteligencia Explicado. Mi meta es que cada fase sea fácil de entender, sin que abrume. Al inicio de mi carrera, lo admito, quería saltarme las partes que parecían “aburridas”
