Abstract: The use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools for military intelligence in wartime is a hot topic with a wide range of controversial issues. The results of this study confirm that OSINT can provide valuable information about potential adversaries, maintain situational awareness, and assist in the planning and execution of military operations. This type of intelligence can come from a variety of sources, including social media, news articles, and scientific research. However, it is important to recognize that OSINT is susceptible to disinformation, which can limit its accuracy and reliability. Therefore, it is crucial to use OSINT in conjunction with other intelligence-gathering methods to ensure that the information obtained is accurate and reliable. The study highlights the importance of resource management, as OSINT provides a significant advantage in this regard. The tools and methods used for OSINT analysis, in particular in social media, are based on social media analysis and geospatial analysis. The article proposes the author’s software “Cyber Eye” for tracking war crimes and documenting them based on the use of OSINT, and analyses the functionality, advantages, and disadvantages of the developed software. The results of the study show that OSINT can serve as a valuable tool for military intelligence.
