Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Study Notes in PDF
What is Open Source Intelligence?
OSINT stands for open source intelligence and it’s the process of gathering information about the target’s system, network and defenses without engaging it directly. In other instances, the target may be an individual or a group of individuals.
OSINT includes data from publicly available sources, such as DNS registrars, web searches, social media, security-centric search engines like Shodan and Censys.
Another type of open source intelligence is information about vulnerabilities and other security flaws, including sources like the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) resources
Examples of information that can be gathered during an OSINT engagement
- Domain names and subdomains
- IP Address ranges
- Email addresses
- Physical locations
- Staff list and organization chart.
- Documents’ meta data.
- Social media information
- Technologies and infrastructure.
Why will you need a notes system?
You could be actively working as an incident responder, security operations analyst, network security specialist or you could be preparing and studying for a certification exam such as Cisco Cyber Ops. In both cases, a set of notes maintained in your repository where you can search for commands, concepts or use cases that could aid you in the task you are performing is necessary for a productive studying and/or working.
