In this video, I just want to tell you that when you're asked to do an investigation, ask what information
the client already has.
Now, this might seem like a silly thing to do, but I've been asked to do different Osint investigations,
and I spent a lot of time coming up with information, digging through stuff, finding different links,
and finding different information, only to find out the client already knew some of this.
And if the client told me that, they knew that, hey, you know, we know about this social media account.
We know about this email address or this phone number.
That could have saved a lot of time, and I potentially could have found a lot more information in the
time frame they gave me instead of going through and figuring out, well, okay, this links to this,
this links to that, that goes to here and so on and so forth.
So as what information your client already has before you start your investigation as to what they're
willing to share with you.
Having the information that you already have can save you a lot of time and save a lot of redundancy,
especially when you start preventing, uh, presenting information to your client.
So when you come up and go, eh, I found this, this and this and this related to the investigation,
your client won't go.
Oh, we already knew that.
You know, your.
And it just respects everyone's time.
So it's okay to ask before you start your investigation.
I just want to get that out.
And again, it might seem kind of silly, but there are situations where the client, whatever reason,
doesn't think to give you the information they already have before you start your investigation.
So thanks for watching.
I'll see you in the next video.
