Open source intelligence (OSINT) is a data gathering and collation technique that focuses on publicly accessible sources. Common sources include, but not limited to, social media platforms, published content, company websites, forums, and also the dark web, with an end goal to find any information that could pose a risk to an organization.
This form of intelligence gathering has been widely used by organizations such as government agencies and law enforcement services for years now. This technique can be used for various purposes including but not limited to:
-Information gathering about competitors' products and services
-Gathering information about potential threats such as hackers or cybercriminals
-Identifying potential partners or business opportunities
The gathered data is then combined, normalized, structured, and further analyzed to test the target organization’s operational security. In simpler terms, the data is harvested, enriched, and reported to collectively study the scope of attacks the organization can fall victim to. OSINT can be a part of red team engagements or advanced external network penetration tests.
OSINT is a part of information security that collects and analyzes publicly available data about an organization or person. It helps organizations understand their exposure to cyber-attacks by identifying potential vulnerabilities in their systems and processes. OSINT can be used by governments, corporations and private individuals to research potential targets.
