Building Visualisation Platforms for OSINT Data Using OSS
Workshop on building OSINT visualization platforms using free and open source tools to gain actionable intelligence.
Summary
Reconnaissance and Insights
Reconnaissance is about gathering information, but raw data has little value without actionable insights. Most research focuses on finding data rather than converting it into decisions.
Visualization Approach
The workshop covers gathering, storing, processing, and visualizing OSINT data using free open source solutions. Visualization alone is insufficient; metrics must answer business questions and lead to actionable decisions.
Workflow Steps
Gathering OSINT data, storing it, processing and visualizing, then gaining insights comprise the workshop methodology.
Practical Use Cases
Monitoring SSL/TLS certificates, domains and subdomains in near-real time. Creating dashboards from public datasets like scans.io to understand organizational external posture. Building monitoring and alerting solutions using OSINT data for business decisions.
Deliverables
Participants receive step-by-step Gitbook documentation, custom scripts and tools, scenarios for implementation, and data references.
