Over the past few months, I’ve been getting a lot of DMs centered around a few topics. Trying to answer some:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. If you need anything, please write it down in initial message itself. Saves us both some time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If you have any specific question about any particular thing related to military OSINT, I can try answering that only. I don’t have time or energy to teach anything. I’ve not done any course, not aware of any books or websites about it either. I don’t do hacking\/cracking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If you really want get into military analytics, develop a genuine interest in the topic. This takes a lot of mind numbing work, remembering boring details and multiple failures. Doesn’t even pay that well, most of the time. It’s fun for me, but I know for a fact that most people will get frustrated and bored out of their minds in a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Each country\/entity needs to be tackled separately. For example, something which works for China, will not work for Iran or Russia. Read forums like Bharat-Rakshak (or similar country specific ones), follow some social media channels, read same news from multiple sources and develop a baseline of what you’re trying to learn before diving in deep. Keep notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. There’re better quality datasets of multiple entities than what I’ve published, yes. I can only refer to you someone authorised to sell some of them. Don’t ask stuff for free, no matter what organistaion you represent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Don’t ask for my opinions beyond what I write publicly. I’m not that important or knowledgeable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. I am open to work on projects of my interest and expertise only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Check this Twitter community for some interesting links: https:\/\/x.com\/i\/communities\/1966400435713126494<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
