X may have given it to the free Twitter API but there are still A LOT of data sources out there that we can monitor for free and fire alerts when things meet our criteria.
Have you ever stumbled across a file that you wanted to access but couldn’t due to the fact that it was password protected? Password cracking is a topic covered in depth in penetration testing courses but rarely in digital forensics or OSINT, even though it’s extremely applicable.
Over the course of his career, SEC497: Practical Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Course Author Matt Edmondson has started up multiple OSINT teams within the U.S. government and worked with private sector cyber threat intelligence teams ranging from Fortune 100 businesses to small startups. In this talk, Matt will explain how the OSINT landscape is changing and most importantly, he’ll discuss some crucial decisions that organizations can make which can severely hinder the effectiveness of their OSINT operations. He’ll also talk about what really matters with operational security (OPSEC) and how we can improve our OPSEC with minimal cost.
The intelligence cycle is a six-step process to gather, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information. During the webinar, we will discuss how ChatGPT, an AI-based language model, can assist in each phase of this process.We’ll provide real-world examples of ChatGPT being used to drastically reduce the time it takes to go from concept to functionality and to help us learn while we’re using it.
Metadata is a vital part of digital forensics work but is often glanced over for OSINT. In this workshop, we'll discuss why metadata is far more useful than most analysts give it credit for. We'll cover why many people miss metadata and how it could potentially reveal hidden information. We'll even set up some hands-on exercises so you can practice your skills.
