Public data research using Google search operators.
How it works
Open Source Intelligence is the process of collecting information from publicly available sources — no hacking, no accounts required.
A search operator that narrows results precisely. The site: operator limits results to one domain, and quoting a phrase enforces an exact match.
It builds site:instagram.com "@username" and runs it on Google, surfacing only indexed public content from Instagram for that handle.
Public profile pages, posts where the handle appears, and bio mentions — only content the account owner has made publicly visible.
