What have you posted on your social media accounts recently? Was it a recent trip or office function? How much of your personal life have you posted online with very few security controls? There is a vast amount of information concerning everyday people publicly available on the web; all you need is time and basic online investigative skills to find it.
Using OSINT techniques, conduct a passive online investigation on one of the senior officers that you identified in the “Perform a Passive Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) on a Selected Company.” Document the process as you go, so it can be replicated; use screen captures to prove the completion of each step.
In a Microsoft Word document of a minimum of 500 words, report the results of your investigation of the senior officer. Include the following:
- Full name and any aliases
- Personal information (address, telephone number, email, and asset information)
- Birth date, age, other important dates
- Any professional and personal people connections
- Personal interests and membership in user groups (have they taken a vacation recently?)
- Contribution to blogs
- Presence on social media websites (Facebook, Twitter, and so forth; include account names)
- Member of any Professional Networks (organizations)
- Public records
- Geo location of primary residence
- Criminal investigations or other newsworthy items
- Report the findings of your investigation. As this is part of a digital forensics investigation, you must provide your step-by-step process methodology.
- What are the ethical and moral implications of sharing information you find, from the perspective of the Christian worldview?
