Search Operators:
Search operators allow you to specify certain things when looking something up, and have the syntax: operator:term, where operator is the specific operator(more down below), and term specifies what you're looking for.
Equipped with a few simple operators, you can learn more down below.
How to extract data from images; how to find images on other areas of the web, and more.

"An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing." -Wikipedia
Obtaining a person's IP adress is as simple as creating a website for people to visit, or by using an online service, to name a few. When someone connects, you'll be able to see an HTTP GET request from the IP address.
With a WHOIS lookup, you're able to see various things related to an IP address, such as who it is registered to, the location, etc.
Example of a WHOIS lookup using the terminal.
Visit the ICANN WHOIS Lookup Website.
Public records include things such as: ownership of properties, birth records, death records, criminal records, and much more. Below are some useful links to aide you in your intelligence gathering.

"Computer security, cybersecurity or information technology security (IT security) is the protection of computer systems from theft or damage to their hardware, software or electronic data, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide." - Wikipedia
As you can see from the different sections below, security is a large field. Below I've equipped you with enough information to acquire a decent understanding. We'll start with the bare minimum, and arguably one of the most important: physical security.
Do you leave your passwords and emails in a tablet next to your computer? Is your computer easily accessible(e.g. can anyone start it up, and view your file system)? You might want to consider your physical security if you answered "yes" to these questions.
Big companies are notably weary of physical security. Shredding passwords, and other documents, before being thrown in a dumpster outside of their facility(See: dumpster-diving). Server rooms are locked with the newest technology, such as hand scanners, and anyone without a security badge will be unable to access them. Even getting into a building will be complicated, if physical security is being considered, though people have been able to get into buildings, and retrieve data, by social engineering.
Thus is physical security: being mindful of your device(s) and data. Don't throw your old hard-drive in the trash, and surely don't sell it, before properly wiping the data, or destroying it.

The Recommended Reading below is anything to do with computers. From programming, hacking, compilers, and beyond. Reading just one of the books below will improve you.
Social media accounts are treasure chests for the intelligence seeker. Locations, favorite bars, movies, books, pet names, family, you name it, and you'll probably find it within a social media account. If you're reading this, it'd probably be a good idea to run these tests on your own accounts, and remove any revealing information, such as pet's names, which are usually used as "security questions". If your Mom is on your friends list, and she includes her maiden name, like so many do, well, that's 2/2 questions into your account!
It is usually recommended to set up fake accounts for each of these services. Keep in mind that this may violate the terms of service on such platforms.
