| [[OSINT – theory and practice]]
| |
|
| |
|
| While an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_intelligence OSINT] enthusiast may be adept at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_collection data collection], he or she will never develop the necessary data organization skills and tools to become a true [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/professional professional].

|
| |
| There are numerous methods for storing data, including basic text files or notes.
| |
| However, using text files is impractical, as when there is a large amount of data, it becomes unmanageable.
| |
| Features desirable for OSINT data management include the ability to export and backup, as well as visualize data.
| |
| Consider the following examples and their disadvantages:
| |
|
| |
| * Simple Notes Apps (unmanageable when dealing with a large amount of data)
| |
| * Evernote (useful when paid for)
| |
| * Notion (notes cannot be accessed offline)
| |
| * Joplin (inconvenient organization for large projects)
| |
| * Obsidian.md Obsidian.md (a bit tricky to master)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Let's take a look at Obsidian.md, because, while it's a little tough to get started with, it contains all the desirable features.
| |
|
| |
| Obsidian.md is a cross-platform, free application for organizing notes stored in markup (.md) files.
| |
| Although the notes are stored on your computer, there is a premium option for syncing, which is superfluous given that you can backup using any online storage service, the Syncthing software, or Git.
| |
| I strongly recommend saving the data in a Git repository in order to retain a history of modifications and to collaborate with your team efficiently.
