OSINT
Open source intelligence: it’s like sigint but for nerds on the Internet who don’t know what SIGINT means. Most OSINT analysts (myself included) live on a diet of pizza and hentai.

OSINT
OSINT is an acronym for Open Source Intelligence. OSINT is not to be confused with Doxxing which is a slang term for a form of harassment done mostly by amateurs, or someone's Fullz which is slang used primarily in the dark web for a document containing privileged information which is illegal to obtain or release such as social security numbers or banking information.
Officially, OSINT is defined as any publicly available information that is collected, exploited, and disseminated in a timely manner to the right people for a specific purpose. OSINT is essentially the digital footprint left behind by a person's online and other public presence and actions. This information is open source, public, and legal to obtain.
Due to the wide overuse of the term Doxxing, it is important to understand that OSINT is a completely different animal. While Doxxes tend to span anywhere from a few lines to a few pages, OSINT dossiers can span hundreds if not thousands of pages depending on the scope of the investigation. OSINT researchers can also specialize in deleting a person's digital trail for the purposes of privacy.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
