Open Source Toolkit by @allthecitizens

Believing investigative journalism is healthy for democracy, we're posting a series of toolkit links we think are vital for investigating corruption.

Please RT.

#1/50 is @ICIJ’s Offshore Leaks database

offshoreleaks.icij.org

#2/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is @wikileaks. Please RT!

The notorious publisher of Hilary Clinton’s emails and US military cover-ups still regularly releases datasets of restricted official materials for the scrutiny of citizens everywhere: wikileaks.org

#3/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is @DDoSecret

DDoSecrets publishes info in the public interest, like foreign investments in Myanmar linked to the displacement and genocide of the Rohingya, and social media sites linked to the attempted US coup.

@DDoSecret #4/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is @_IntelligenceX

Intelligence X is a European darknet/data leak search engine containing over 34.5 billion records - which is easily searchable (and doesn’t sell your data): intelx.io

#7/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is G-Info by @UK_CAA. Please RT!

Similar to yesterday’s resource, G-Info is a free-to-use aircraft register that allows you to search for aircrafts with as little as the name of the registered owner at your disposal:siteapps.caa.co.uk/g-info/

#8/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is @HMLandRegistry. Please RT!

Searching for the owner of that enormous mansion? Tracking an oligarch? No source is more reliable than the HM Land Registry. You have to purchase the details, usually only a few £s: eservices.landregistry.gov.uk

@HMLandRegistry #9/50 of our daily #OpenSourceToolkit is @Debretts
