Businesses

OSINT is essentially a mix of all the tools covered in this course and the strategies on how to use them so you will see the same tools again and again. There are a lot of things you can use for researching a company. You can identify the employees, who is running the company, who the executives are. Depending on the size of the company, you can figure out the organizational structure. You can look up the social media sites that the company and the employees are using. You can look at job descriptions and how the company hires people.

You are looking for information that can help you identify people and places, information that can be found through what employees are putting online, especially if it’s a physical engagement and/or social engineering. You need to find out everything about the company and narrow it down.
