“In the world of OSINT, every detail has the potential to unravel entire stories. Niles Gooding, owner of Varda Investigations LLC, captures the thrill of discovery best when he describes following a trail of digital clues from a single hint, each link revealing another layer of the story. ‘One piece of information will inevitably lead to another and then another,’ he shared, embodying the curiosity that drives this field. This theme of uncovering hidden truths, shared by nearly every OSINT expert I spoke to, makes the field not just a career but an endless puzzle waiting to be solved.”
