# UK Person-centric OSINT Toolkit
A curated, UK-focused collection of open-source intelligence (OSINT) resources built for human investigation. Issues and Pulls Welcome.
## Purpose
Most OSINT lists are US-centric and very long or unfocused. This toolkit is:
- UK-specific
- People-focused
- Free (mostly)
- Actually usable day-to-day
## Legal and Ethical Scope
These resources contain only legally-accessible public data however I accept no responsibility for how they are used. I advise them to only be used in a clearly-scoped, ethical investigation.
