Description:
Open-Source INTelligence (OSINT) is produced from publicly available information and is collected, exploited, and disseminated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience for the purpose of addressing a specific intelligence requirement, as defined in the U.S. Public Law. For example, online searching through websites or social media to profile an organization or a person of interest is a form of OSINT gathering.
Cyber attackers collect OSINT for reconnaissance to develop weapons customized to the targeted victims. Cyber defenders can turn OSINT inward to identify vulnerabilities, or to investigate a cybercrime, such as to identify the point-of-entry of an attack.
This workshop covers the fundamentals of OSINT. It introduces several tools for OSINT gathering, from manual searching to integrative tools, to deep web searching. It is tuned towards a hands-on practice approach.
The workshop’s outline is as follows:
0. Overview
1. Open-source intelligence gathering on the Internet
2. Graphical intelligence exploration tool
3. Tor browsing and intelligence gathering from the dark web
The workshop will be concluded with a sharing from a threat intelligence hunter in the industry.
