Define essential internet concepts, including ip addresses, dns, domain names, top level domains, urls, and browsers, and show how virtualization, operating systems, and programming languages underpin osint and social engineering.
Explore open source intelligence (OSINT) and advanced search techniques, gathering data from search engines, news sites, blogs, corporate sites, content sharing platforms, and social media intelligence across web 2.0 networks.
Learn how to obtain technical information about websites using whois, DNS lookups, and certificate data, and explore tools like the mix toolbox and the back machine for intelligence gathering.
Explore browser architecture, features, and addons used for privacy, security, and osint, including rendering, networking, cookies, private browsing, proxies, and popular security addons.
Master Google hacking basics by using site and file type operators, in title and allinurl, and boolean operators to refine searches and leverage the Google hacking database.
Discover non traditional web searching techniques—metasearch, people search, social media scans, reverse image search, and open source intelligence, using tools like Whois, Shodan, Wayback Machine, Google Images, and LinkedIn.
Explore inverse image search engines, including Google Images, to upload a photo, retrieve metadata, identify sources, and locate similar images across the web.
Shodan search is the popular search engine used by penetration testers to find internet-connected devices and exposed systems; the lecture covers registering, exploring results, credits, reports, and browser addons.
Explore a range of useful search engines, including Ixquick, Yandex, Yasuni, and Market Mutual, to conduct private and targeted professional searches tailored to roles and people.
Discover how the Tor browser bundle enables online anonymity by assigning a new IP address, enabling private browsing, and using a search engine that does not track activity.
Explore social engineering as the art of manipulating people to reveal sensitive information, covering human- and computer-based attacks, attack phases, common techniques, and policies to curb these threats.
Explore real-time social media intelligence using analytics tools to monitor keywords, sentiment, hashtags, and sources; export results for competitive intelligence and broader analytics.
Learn how to use Maltego multigrade for social engineering and intelligence gathering by creating graphs, adding entities (people, locations), connecting them with drag-and-drop links, and exploring relationship views.
Explore Maltego graphs by selecting entities, zooming to view relationships, and using the overview and property panels to inspect details, IP addresses, and locations.
Explore maltego transforms in a multi-color graph, install and run movie database and people search transforms, then uncover movie cast and social details while refining views and removing irrelevant results.
Explore the harvester tool to gather information for OSINT and social engineering by querying sources like Google and LinkedIn to reveal domains, subdomains, hosts, and associated names.
Learn and understand the fundamental concepts of the Open Source Intelligence and Social Engineering and how they could be applied in the real world scenario.
Social Engineering is a method that is hardly understood well by people, as it is the best way to get access into any systems when there is no possible way in terms of attacking the machines. And this course mainly aims at providing the knowledge on easily available tools to initially gather all the intelligence needed (via the Open Source Intelligence techniques), and then perform the Social Engineering Attacks based on all the information that is obtained. The tools used in this course are the standard tools used in the Information Security Industry and is explained in the most easy and understandable way.
