Otra estrategia para saber y explorar que informaciones existen acerca tuyo consiste en el auto-doxeo. Esta palabra proviene del anglicismo “doxing” que deriva de la palabra ‘documents’. El 'doxing' consiste en compilar información detallada acerca de alguien usando fuentes libremente disponibles, aunque también puede implicar usar métodos ilegales para tener acceso a ellas, especialmente cuando se practica para atacar a otros. Esta técnica es también usada por activistas, periodistas y hackers (los 'buenos' y los 'malos') para perfilar individuos y organizaciones de interés. Lógicamente, el doxing también es usado para perfilar individuos y organizaciones por sus adversarios a fin de detectar y aprovechar personas y redes con finalidades maliciosas. Criminales, espías, acosadores también hacen doxing de sus blancos. Esta practica presenta por lo tanto un doble filo y también puede ser usada para conocer mejor a una persona que ha conocido en linea antes de proveerle con mas altos niveles de confianza.

Another strategy for knowing and exploring what is already available about you online is to ‘dox’ yourself. The word ‘dox’ is a shortened version of the word ‘documents’. Doxing is the act of gathering detailed information about someone using sources that are freely available although it can also involve illegally gaining access to personal data when used to attack others. This technique is used by activists, investigative journalists, and hackers (both good and bad) to profile subjects and organizations of interest. Doxing is also used to profile individuals and organizations by adversaries who want to exploit human and technical networks for malicious reasons. Criminals, spies, stalkers, and harassers also ‘dox’ their targets. Of course, this same practice and approach is two way and can also be used to learn more about someone we have met online before we give them our full trust.
