OSINT / Darknet research

We track down compromised datasets

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a term from the intelligence application field and describes a research method that uses exclusively passive tools to examine freely available data on the clear and dark web with a specific application purpose in mind.

As part of OSINT research, we identify compromised data sets such as confidential documents, credentials, or useful technical information for specific cyber kill chain attack attempts. These provide a clear picture of how to assess your company’s current IT security situation. Since only passive tools are used, this type of security check can be easily performed without violating legal requirements (esp. §202a-c, §303a-b).

OSINT searches can be used, among other things, as a more detailed phase of information gathering as part of a penetration test.

Examples of sources and tools which are used:

– Ahmia
– Dargle
– Dark.fail
– Darknet Live
– DarkNet Stats
– Dark Owl
– Dark Scrape
– Dark Search
– Dark Web Map
– The Dark Web Sites
– Deep Explorer

– Gate

– Freenet
– GNUnet
– Hyperboria
– I2P
– Panoramix
– whonix
– Zeronet
