A Deep Dive into "Nowhere to Hide" by Daniel Huang

By Heather Hernadi

Daniel Farber Huang’s Nowhere to Hide: Open Source Intelligence Gathering is a standout resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of investigative work in the digital age. Focused on the events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, the book offers a rare glimpse into how law enforcement, journalists, and everyday citizens assisted the FBI in using open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify and verify those involved.?

Through thirty-six (36) detailed case studies, Huang illustrates how the FBI blended cutting-edge technology with traditional investigative methods to sift through a flood of public tips, false leads, and unexpected breakthroughs. His emphasis on both the technical “how” and the human “why” behind OSINT makes this book as much about people as it is about processes.?

Whether you’re an OSINT expert or just beginning, this book delivers practical tools and actionable insights. Huang’s expertise in cybersecurity and risk management further enriches the content, ensuring readers walk away with strategies they can immediately apply.?

For professionals and curious readers alike, Nowhere to Hide is a timely reminder of the power and responsibility that comes with accessing information in our digital world. I highly recommend it as a tool for sharpening investigative skills and understanding the intersection of technology, justice, and human behavior.?
