Why Intelligence Belongs to Everyone (and How You Can Start Today)
In today's society, we are hit with so much information every day, like fake news, AI-generated content, phishing emails, and they look so real, it's very hard to tell the difference. This situation can be very frustrating and invasive, and it leaves people feeling defeated!
Most people just throw up their hands in hope nothing happens to them, but here's the truth: you can take control. You don't need to be a hacker or some fancy worker to learn these skills; you just need one thing.
Patience.
Why do people need intel?
For decades, we have thought about spies or hackers having access to "intel," and we, as regular people, were left out, but that's not true anymore.
The internet has changed everything, and we have access to the same tools that spies, hackers, and journalists have, and it's almost free or very affordable, so today we can arm ourselves with the same knowledge and equipment.
That is why I started Everyone's Intel, so we can close the gap and allow everyone to know how to use Open Source Intelligence skills and give power back to the average person.
Intelligence isn't about hackers and world problems; it's about knowledge and using it to protect yourself and your loved ones.
OSINT skills you can learn today

OSINT is digital self-defense
Remember when someone got bullied in school, then they took karate or wrestling, and then they were never messed with again? We can look at OSINT the same way!
