Introducing the New Plessas Digital Knowledge Base: Expanding Access to OSINT Tools and Methodologies
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Plessas Digital Knowledge Base, an evolution of our former paid subscription service, OSINT News. This transformation reflects our commitment to democratizing access to essential Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) resources while fostering a vibrant, supportive community for those who value the platform and its mission.
A New Era of Accessibility
The Plessas Digital Knowledge Base is now open to the public. By opening this resource to everyone, we aim to enhance the global OSINT community's capacity for learning and collaboration.
But this isn’t just about opening the doors. It’s about building something better. Each entry in the knowledge base has been carefully reviewed, evaluated, and updated. AI plays a role in crafting the content, but we take it further by providing deep insights, highlighting controversies, and identifying each tool’s country of origin. Special emphasis is given to marking tools or resources we find potentially dangerous—whether due to malware risks or deceptive practices—and celebrating those we find exceptionally useful.
Join the Supporter Community
All previously paying subscribers will find their familiar content integrated into their academy libraries, ensuring uninterrupted access. While the core knowledge base is free, we invite you to join our supporter community, designed for those who wish to help us grow and sustain this platform. Supporters gain exclusive benefits, including:
Access to a private forum for discussions and networking.
Interactive video chat sessions for deeper engagement.
Regular challenges to test and hone your OSINT skills.
Our highly regarded premium newsletter, packed with expert insights.
This community provides a unique space for passionate OSINT practitioners to connect, share, and collaborate.
A Work in Progress
Building a knowledge base of this caliber takes time, and we ask for your patience as we continue to refine and expand the entries. While we’ve provided a How to Use the Knowledge Base page and a feedback form for errors, bugs, or suggestions, please understand there may be some early-stage imperfections.
Every entry has been individually reviewed, but as with any ambitious project, we welcome constructive feedback to help us improve.
Guidelines for Content and Contributions
We aim for transparency and accuracy. If you’re the creator or owner of a tool listed in the knowledge base, we will not remove verified information, including controversies, though we are open to adding context. Additionally, while we don’t upload custom images or logos (except for partners), we ensure every entry is as informative as possible.
Opportunities for Partnership
We are actively seeking sponsors and partners to help sustain and grow the knowledge base. Partner benefits include:
A dedicated section in the database.
Logo and icon integration for brand visibility.
Recognition as a supporter of this vital resource.
If you’re interested in partnering with us, please reach out via email.
Powered by Notion
The Plessas Digital Knowledge Base is hosted on Notion, a multipurpose tool that is as user-friendly as it is versatile. We encourage users to explore Notion’s potential—after all, the core platform is free!
A Collaborative Future
This launch marks a new chapter for OSINT resources, and we’re excited to embark on this journey with you. Together, we can ensure that the Plessas Digital Knowledge Base becomes an indispensable tool for the global OSINT community. Your support, feedback, and participation will be key to its success.
