Our Mission
ODINT is an independent, nonprofit research organization dedicated to analyzing publicly accessible government digital infrastructure using open-source intelligence methodologies.
Our work transcends national boundaries. We examine government digital systems, APIs, and public-facing infrastructure across jurisdictions, documenting our findings through rigorous, reproducible research.
We believe transparency strengthens democratic accountability. By systematically documenting what information is publicly accessible from government systems, we help citizens, journalists, and policymakers understand the digital landscape.

Our Focus
While our research has global scope, we place special emphasis on documenting digital vulnerabilities in authoritarian governments where exposure serves democratic accountability and human rights documentation. Our flagship research, Crystal Vault, documented over 50 Venezuelan government domains and was validated by VE Sin Filtro, Venezuela's premier digital rights organization.
