Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Gathering Information on a Target from Public Sources
Course Description
Passive information gathering is referred to as OSINT. This involves gathering information that is free available and made accessible to the general public. Reconnaissance (information gathering) is the first step and a very vital step in ethical hacking/penetration testing. This is where hackers and pentesters spend most of their time gathering information on their target. The more information gathered at this stage will determine the overall success of the whole pentesting exercise.
