DID YOU KNOW
It is often estimated that 80 to 90% of the intelligence used comes from open sources, not from secret means. Most of it is already public: you just have to know how to read it.

MINI CHALLENGE
Your turn
A photo taken outdoors at noon. The pole's shadow is almost non-existent. What can you already deduce?
Reveal the answer
An almost non-existent shadow at noon means the sun is nearly overhead: you are therefore close to the equator, around the time of an equinox. In OSINT, a single detail never gives you the location: it narrows the field. You stack clues until only one possibility remains.
