Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)

Intelligence
It is all public. Finding it is the work.

Open-source intelligence is the engine under everything we do. We have worked the open web since 1995, before the term existed, which is why people call us the OSINT OGs. We find what is public but buried, verify it cold, and turn it into intelligence you can act on or put in front of a judge.

Capabilities

What we do

Attribution and identity

We unmask the real person or company behind a website, an alias, a shell entity, or an anonymous account. When someone has gone to trouble to stay hidden, we are the ones who pull the mask off.

Ownership and network mapping

We trace who owns what, who is tied to whom, and how the pieces fit: corporate structure, affiliations, infrastructure, and the partners and money behind an operation.

Threat and actor identification

We put a name to the person behind a threat, a leak, or a harassment campaign, and document it well enough to act on.

Background and footprint discovery

We surface a subject’s full footprint, online and off, and separate what is verified from what is noise.

How we work

Why MI:33

We were here first

Web forensics since 1995. Our methods have been tested in federal court and cited in the academic literature.

People, not scrapers

Tools collect. We verify, connect, and interpret, so you get intelligence, not a data dump.

Built to hold up

Everything is documented to an evidentiary standard, sourced and time-stamped, ready for a filing or a boardroom.

Quiet by default

We work under cover. The subject never learns who is asking.

Where it applies

OSINT runs under all of our work.

The deliverable
The intelligence report

You get a written intelligence report: the findings, the sources behind them, and a clear read on what they mean. When the matter is headed to court, it is documented to hold up there.

Whether you need a name behind an alias, the truth behind a company, or the source of a threat, a principal works the matter and brings back intelligence you can stand on, in confidence.
