However, with the current digitalization of the world, most of the OSINT is now taken from online resources. This includes social media sites, blogs, forums, all types of digital files available online along with metadata, IP addresses and technical information. Other online resources also comprise deep web databases. For example, government records, dark net resources, archive data and any type of information accessible online. Traditional media sources are television, radio broadcast, newspapers and books.
