What information about you resides on the internet today that anyone can access? In this episode we give you the tools to answer that question and walk you through the definition of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).

We look at how it can benefit our lives and how it can also be used in a borderline creepy way. Jules and I also give you some tools to perform OSINT on yourself, and while it may be confronting to see a bunch of information about yourself strewn across the internet, we believe if the bad guys know it exists, you should too.

Finally with all this being said and done, we run you through some tips on how to protect your privacy whilst still existing in the online world.
