Description

Open Source INTelligence, also known as OSINT, refers to gathering information from publicly available sources, such as social media, company websites, and news articles. OSINT can collect a great deal of information about a company or person, which cybercriminals can easily misuse. As a CARE Lab OSINT analyst, you will use open sources on the internet to capture an assortment of flags on a target company. You will use search engines, social media, and other open-source tools to capture the flags. Warning: Only passive reconnaissance is allowed; no active scanning or brute force shall be applied. All legal consequences of breaking this rule are the responsibility of those conducting it
