OSINT Analysis Guide

OSINT Analysis Guide#

OSINT analysis connects identifiers extracted from case evidence to public sources. It is a tracking map, not a standalone conclusion, and should be reviewed alongside AI analysis, manual review, timeline analysis, and malware analysis.

What It Tracks#

TargetPurpose
Emails and usernamesPublic web leads, exposure metadata, and repeated use across cases
IPs, domains, and URLsDNS, registration data, certificates, reputation, and threat-intelligence leads
File hashesMalware repository metadata, reputation, and case-local execution traces
Wallet and onion identifiersRelationship leads within public sources the user is authorized to review

How To Use It#

  1. Open the OSINT Analysis tab after collection and basic indexing are complete.
  2. Review the highest-priority pivots first.
  3. Separate default public lookup results from external sources that require your API key.
  4. Corroborate confirmed leads in AI analysis, manual review, timeline, and malware analysis.
  5. Keep public-source findings, case-local evidence, and unqueried external sources separated in reports.

When External Sources Help#

Default public lookups and case-local correlation work immediately. External sources such as VirusTotal, MalwareBazaar, ThreatFox, and URLhaus may have their own terms and commercial-use conditions, so customers can register their own API keys to run broader reputation and threat-intelligence lookups.

Registering external sources can expand coverage for:

  • Known malicious IP, domain, and URL reputation
  • File-hash metadata from malware repositories
  • Public exposure metadata for emails and domains
  • Correlation between malware IOCs and case evidence

Reading Results#

StatusMeaningRecommended action
Public-source hitA related lead was found in a public sourceCompare timestamp and context with original evidence
Case-local evidenceThe identifier exists in case evidence but lacks public confirmationReview timeline and manual evidence context
More lookup availableExternal sources requiring an API key or terms review remainRegister the source if broader coverage is needed
No public matchThe queried public source did not show a matchDo not treat this as proof that no exposure exists

Not Supported#

unJaena AI does not perform high-risk tracking methods.

  • Private-account access, credential use, or access-control bypass
  • Real-time location tracking
  • Tor deanonymization
  • Collection or storage of raw breach dumps, passwords, tokens, or session cookies
  • Unauthorized personal-data collection or third-party account intrusion

Example Questions#

  • "Check whether IPs and domains extracted from this case are known malicious infrastructure"
  • "Track whether the discovered email addresses appear in public web leads or other cases"
  • "Compare the malware file hash with execution traces inside the case"
  • "Summarize public-source leads that may relate to exfiltration"
