  3. How it all began

  4. OSINT Tool Comparison Table

  5. Define: OSINT Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) … is locating, and analyzing publicallyavailable sources of information … [with the] goal of producing current and relevant information that is valuable to either an attacker or competitor. http://www.pentest-standard.org/index.php/PTES_Technical_Guidelines#OSINT

  6. Valuable types of OSINT • Usernames • E-mails • Technology in use • Location data • Corporate data

  7. Methodology Compiled a list of reputable, free and popular tools with a focus on organizational penetration testing: • Default Kali Linux OSINT tools • Tools listed in popular pentesting books • Word-of-mouth • OSINT tool lists (osintframework.com)

  8. Methodology Compared them against 3 benchmarks: • Data variety • Data quality • Relevancy

  9. Data Limitations • Non-exhaustive list. • Some tools contain some stand-alone tools. • Some tools are hybrids that do more than OSINT. • Data accuracy could be biased based on chosen sample (sample size = 42).

  10. Results
