OSINT CTF

Goal: solve OSINT CTF tasks with artifact-first triage, confidence-scored pivots, and reproducible public-source evidence.

When this skill applies

• people, usernames, emails, domains, infrastructure, images, videos, geolocation, social-media clues, DNS history, archives, public records, or public API artifacts
• research tasks requiring public-source correlation, confidence labels, and reproducible evidence trails

Operating model

1. Classify the primary lane: media/geolocation, person/username, domain/infrastructure, social platform, archive/history, or public record.
2. State the objective and success oracle before searching.
3. Load the closest offensive-techniques methodology before selecting tools.
4. Load only the reference file that matches the lane; do not treat the references as a checklist to exhaust.
5. Choose the smallest tool chain that can produce an independent validation signal.
6. Record the exact proof path, confidence level, and failed pivots before moving on.
