Open Source Intelligence Gathering on Human Targets

Presented at DeepSec 2020 „The Masquerade“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

In this workshop I provide the class with real human targets and while they are collaborating on this I provide tools and techniques for them to use to bring them closer to their goal. This is a hands on workshop where students will also have the opportunity to learn from each other. The beginning of the class will consist of a brief intro to OpSec considerations while the end will wrap up with report prep and intel safe guarding.
