flowsint solves the investigation/visualization side beautifully. One adjacent concern for OSINT analysts is operational security during the collection phase — accessing targets without exposing your real browser fingerprint, IP, or linking your investigative accounts back to you.
For anyone working on the opsec side of investigations, I maintain a curated resource on browser fingerprinting and identity isolation: https://github.com/pencil20388-eng/awesome-anti-detect
Relevant for investigators:
- Antidetect browsers (AdsPower, Multilogin, etc.) for fully isolated investigation environments — separate fingerprint, cookies, and IP per case/identity
- Fingerprint testing tools to verify you're not leaking identifying info
- Proxy strategy (residential/mobile) to avoid linking activity back to a single origin
Keeping each investigation in its own isolated browser profile also helps avoid cross-contaminating cases. Sharing in case it's useful for the investigators using flowsint.
