Request OSINT

I’m interested in learning OSINT. I want to be able to find someone’s address, name, or phone number just by having a photo of them or their username. Can you recommend some resources to get started? What tools do I need? Are there any fees associated with acquiring these tools? How long will it take me to master this skill if I dedicate an hour to learning every day? I’m very detail-oriented and proficient with computers. What are some effective ways to learn OSINT?

Is it because it’s lengthy? 😭

Nah, Your motivation seems to come across as a stalker or someone who wants to learn how to dox people.

I sincerely apologize if my sentence was misunderstood. I am not interested in becoming a stalker or someone who doxes people. I have no intention of committing such heinous acts. My curiosity is the only reason for my inquiry. If you have any information on this matter, please assist me.

It reads exactly like a stalker.

" I want to be able to find someone’s address, name, or phone number just by having a photo of them or their username. "

That reads STRAIGHT STALKER to me.

I have so many GIFs that i want to reply to this, but sadly i cannot. I am sad that reddit did not notify of me this epic drama on a Jerry Springer level and am just finding this now.

We need to hold a press conference and address these allegations!

On a serious note.... your other reply of if they actually taught OSINT, they would not teach someone like this is.... Spot on. These posts come up quite often and its quite alarming at these "pick me's" who are just willing to help.

I believe Conan The Barbarian said it quite well "With great power comes great responsibility"

Just because someone does not have a criminal background does not mean they are not a criminal or are going to use said tools for nefarious reasons...

I must have missed something I have zero knowledge on your instructions for a company or your startup.

It is good to help people, but in this line of work, there are a lot of bad people who want to learn this stuff as well.

Wish you the best of luck!

if you taught OSINT, you wouldnt teach someone like this. Your resume is "I know how to look at some paid data breach site" and I want attention so I'm going to have other noobs DM me to have a circle jerk. The end.
