Most Western OSINT underperforms on China because people search the Chinese web like it's a translated copy of Google. I wrote a free, bilingual field guide. Baidu pivots, registry, court, and procurement dorks, official portals, plus verification discipline. #OSINTgithub.com/ArgeliusLabs/chin…
Today was day one (workshop day) at the first ever @SANSInstitute EU OSINT Summit. I new the facility and people would be amazing, but I was still blown away by both. Got an amazing day of talks tomorrow and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Just had a case of the new @SANSInstitute OSINT/Intel posters delivered! Even though I designed it, it’s always so cool to see it in print for the first time! I’ll bring some with me to San Diego for my students at Sec West.
