An OSINT framework tree lists a dark-web market scraper beside search and image tools. Which families stay in-scope for PORP-style civic work?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Not every leaf on a public tree is in this course. PORP sticks to search, image, email, social, and site families. Dark-web market scrapers and Wi-Fi cracking belong to other credentials.
Full Explanation
Public OSINT framework indexes mix many techniques, including ones outside TCM OSINT Fundamentals. PORP-style civic work stays with Fundamentals families such as search, image and geo, email, username, phone, social, website, business, and wireless-observation classes. When a framework tree lists a dark-web market scraper beside search and image tools, the in-scope answer is those Fundamentals families—not every leaf on the public tree.
Selecting the market scraper because every leaf is required coursework misunderstands that directories are not curricula. Handshake capture and key recovery against library Wi-Fi are offensive wireless methods outside PORP. Active Directory attack tooling from a sibling pentest course is a different discipline entirely.
Exam caveat: seeing a technique on a popular framework graphic does not place it in PORP scope; professional selection means matching course-appropriate public methods to the civic question.
Operational check: choose search/image/email/social/website (and related Fundamentals) methods for the task, document why out-of-scope leaves were skipped, and refuse dark-web market scrapes, Wi-Fi cracking, or AD attacks under a PORP label. In municipal practice, keep the wording tied to public artifacts, retrieval dates, and the authorized civic question so peers can re-perform the work without guessing intent.
