The branch of OSINT concerned with extracting insight from social-media platforms.
SOCMINT is the sub-discipline of OSINT focused on social networks — the posts, connections, timelines, and behavioural patterns people leave across platforms. Because so much of modern life is documented on social media, SOCMINT is often where an investigation begins.
Typical SOCMINT work includes mapping an account's network, analysing posting patterns for location or routine, tracking hashtags and sentiment, and correlating profiles across platforms through reused usernames or images.
The practice of collecting and analysing publicly available information to produce actionable intelligence.
Checking a username across many platforms to map every account tied to it.
