Structured OSINT methodology framework: target definition, source selection, collection workflows, data correlation, timeline reconstruction, and reporting. Covers sock-puppet OpSec, cryptocurrency and L2 tracing, image/video geolocation, chronolocation (shadow/astronomical/satellite), threat-actor investigation with attribution discipline, RU/CN-specific pivots, people and social-media investigation, infrastructure OSINT, Telegram/WeChat, case management, and synthetic-media verification.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OSINT Methodology When this skill is active: 1. Apply the methodology below as the operational checklist 2. Follow steps in order unless the operator specifies otherwise 3. For each technique, weigh applicability to the current target/context 4. Track which checklist items are complete 5. Suggest next steps from what each tool returns CLI tools marked `[LOCAL]` (verified), `[INSTALL]` (one-command install), `[UPSTREAM-REF]` (reference only — API keys/commercial/interactive). ## OpSec — sock puppets first - Fake account that cannot be linked to you; build posting history before investigating - Separate browser profiles/containers per case and persona (Firefox Multi-Account Containers); never log into personal accounts from an investigation profile - Disposable VoIP/SMS numbers (Burner, Silent Link) for platform verification - Audit every browser extension before install — supply-chain attacks on investigator extensions are documented since 2024 - Hardware-backed passkeys for critical accounts; recovery codes offline - Minimal chain-of-custody: timestamp every action, hash key artifacts, record tool versions per case …

How to install
mdr add miosa-osa/osa/osint-methodology@sha256:e4aa682531277ea7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.e13b6b8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
