Drawing on real cross-border investigations from OCCRP's Research & Data team, this session will share the tools, techniques, and workflows the team relies on daily to support hundreds of journalists around the world. From geolocating images and tracking assets to social media investigations and smart browser hacks, this session will offer a practical, field-tested OSINT toolkit.
With shrinking newsroom budgets and a constant stream of "must-have" tools, it's harder than ever for journalists to know what OSINT tools might actually be worth using or paying for. This session cuts through the noise and focuses on what works right now.
Whether conference attendees are new to open-source research or looking for a sharp refresher, they will leave with concrete skills, trusted tools, and time-saving methods they can immediately apply to their own investigations.
