OpenSource Intelligence (OSINT) - Getting Started -Siobhan Kelleher
As security professionals we use OpenSource Intelligence (OSINT) in one way or another almost every day of our lives. This talk will focus on
using OSINT to find information about people. This can be a useful skill
when trying to track a malicious user from email address to home
address. It is also a very important topic to discuss in user awareness
training to help prevent social engineering attacks like spear phishing.
Additionally, there are opportunities where you can use your analytical
skills to give back leveraging OSINT.
