Since before it was the CIA. Open Source in this context isn't about software licensing, it's about gleaning everything you can about an adversary from publicly available information without infiltrating anything.

A non-intelligence example of this would speculating on what products a company is working on based on their job postings.

To bring it full circle, one can glean from this posting that the CIA is looking to hire someone to troll the internet for folks to target for further intelligence gathering. Business as usual.

What does this mean? Like someone who sits on 4Chan and reports what they’re plotting?

PatFussy ,

No it's someone who shops at target openly

Oh so going mad ?

That isn’t 1/3 of what it would take for it to be a technical job. It’s probably OSINT.

scytale ,

Like the other comment said, this sounds more like an OSINT related job.

Basically tryhard PI job. Public or semi public info is fair game for collection.

This is probably talking about "open source intelligence" which is not related to open source software. That doesn't mean they're cool, obviously

Zuberi OP ,

In this new light, that does read exactly like what you're describing lol ty.

Seen "OSINT" too many times to read a real non-buzz word at this point I suppose :)

Also, get ready for the deepest, up-your-ass background check you could ever imagine.

Zuberi OP ,

So you're saying I shouldn't tell them I coup'd a 3rd-world nation?..

I’m saying that they already know and questioning your family about it

Zuberi OP ,

Good thing I only told my mom over SMS 😅

orclev ,

It's the CIA, that kind of thing would probably get you put in the priority recruitment pool. That's practically their bread and butter.
