Hello everyone! Today we're going to talk about some concepts and clarify a few points.
1- Data Collections: We can say that it's about obtaining information from various sources. Through your collection, you can arrive at a specific result or conclusion. This isn't limited to the data itself, but also includes clarifying its accuracy, validity, and so on.
It includes three types:
1- Structured Data: This includes databases containing names, dates, etc., regardless of whether these databases are public, governmental, or otherwise.
2- Unstructured Data: This includes public images, social media sites, public comments, emails, etc.
3- Semi-structured Data: This includes files such as JSON, XML, and Hex.
2- OSINT: This stands for Open Source Intelligence, which refers to public sources or open-source intelligence.
This includes:
The Internet (websites, blogs, etc.) Forums)
Social Media (SOCMINT)
Public Government Records and News Articles
Geographic Data (Satellite Imagery)
What is the relationship between the two?
The answer is that you can't do one without completing the other.
Technologies used to gather information: There are many, and they depend on the individual's search method, whether legal or illegal, but generally, they are considered legal.
Examples of tools used in such matters (automation):
1- Maltego
2- SpiderFoot
