OSINT-FR
OSINT-FR association
The largest organised French-language OSINT community: an association since 2019 with an open Discord, in-person meetups, talks, CTFs, and a conference presence. If you work in French, start here.
OSINT-FR is a French association running a Discord hub, expert talks, workshops, challenges, city meetups, and solidarity projects, across geopolitics, imagery, social media, financial intelligence, OpSec, the dark web, threat intelligence, and disinformation. It sponsors the leHACK conference. The Discord is open; formal membership through an association platform adds exclusive events.
