In this lecture we will study two specialized programs that are necessary in the work of the OSINT-analyst: Pentest and Kali.

We will also talk about how to use Kali and Pentest to check all weaknesses, open directories, subdomains, passwords, etc. Further learning of the software depends only on its direct use.

Lecture on red flags: what can be considered as negative information, where to look for it, how to document it correctly, how the negative facts in the business environment can be interpreted. Assessment of cooperation risks in case of finding some negative information, verification of legal compliance search for links with sanctioned countries or people. Search for technical facts that can be used as a factual basis to confirm the poor performance of individual specialists or businesses.

After all, facts can be interpreted very differently. The researcher simply looks for the facts, and must do it well.
