Week in OSINT
Sector035
For years the newsletter every analyst read, and still a superb archive of tools and techniques. Dormant since August 2024 with no closure notice; subscribe to the feed, read the back issues, do not wait for Monday.
Sector035 published Week in OSINT every Monday from 2018, each issue a handful of tools, articles, sites, and tutorials with a few sentences of context and a closing meme. The last issue, numbered 2024-31, opened with the usual summer-break note and no issue has followed. The author remains active elsewhere. Most lists still recommend it as weekly; it is not.
No issue since August 2024 and no closure notice. The author posts elsewhere. Treat it as an archive that might resume.
