The Cyber Intelligence Analyst’s Cookbook

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Dissent

There’s a new — and free — OSINT resource from Open Source Researchers that I want to let you all know about:

The Cyber Intelligence Analyst’s Cookbook
Volume 1 : A primer for Open Source Intelligence Collection and Applied Research

An excerpt from the Preface:

Anyways, I started with this brain dump of my process for recording OSINT. The work initially started out just for me. I haven’t documented any of my methods, thoughts, what have you in quite some time. I was due for this knowledge transfer. However, as I began writing, I found that a manual wasn’t going to cut it. The next thing I know, I’m writing a book, and thirty days-ish later, the first draft was completed. Truthfully, it’s an awful book, and I apologize to anyone who attempts to read it. Yet, as I look back over the body of knowledge, I see that I’ve at least created a good foundation for future volumes. Opportunities for expansion and clarification. Who knows, maybe someone will find what’s in this book useful.

The book itself is explicitly written for cyber intelligence analysts. Still, anyone who performs intelligence as a discipline can deconstruct what’s here and apply it to any intelligence domain. I’m also assuming the reader, at a minimum, has access to the Internet and can look up the tools used within the book. I’ve tried my best to add references to the right level of detail and completeness. I do believe in citing sources. Well, I’ve been beaten into always citing sources through my academic career as a student. So, what exactly is in this book? Part 1 of this book goes over the way I collect and store OSINT into MISP. Part 2 goes over some higher-order analysis that can be applied to the data.

You can download the 3.8 MB pdf file here.

Great thanks to the reader who let me know about this and the Open Source Research Society for making it available.
