Many thanks Lewis. Oops, I think we based this point on your (excellent) PhD thesis πŸ˜…. I guess we meant foundational not in a historical way but more in terms of what have become common practices.

In this article we:
- Make a distinction between OSINT, OSINF, and OSINV
- Trace the development of OSINT as a community of practice
- Argue against the establishment of a dedicated government agency
- Explore the implications of OSINT's rise on public understanding of security today
