Did you know that the so much hyped and cited #OSINT Oryx was founded and is financed by the #AtlanticCouncil?
Unfortunately people believe being OSINT would imply independence and neutrality. This is not the case!
Thema des heutigen O-Dienstes im #TeamMedien: Strategien gegen Fake-Bilder & Desinformation. Mit #VOST und #OSINT Fake-Inhalte zu erkennen, zu analysieren und Fakten zu checken. Fake-News und manipulierte Bilder können großen Schaden anrichten – umso wichtiger ist es, gut informiert zu sein! Ein besonderer Dank geht an @DeutscheWelle, @klicksafe, swrfakefinder.de und @SWR.de, deren Materialien für die Ausbildung u.a. genutzt wurden!

The Slow Collapse of #CriticalThinking in #OSINT due to #AI https://www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-slow-collapse-of-critical-thinking-in-osint-due-to-ai
Been a while since I've posted an #osint #geolocation challenge. This one might be a little hard but we'll see.
1) Where was I? Be as precise as possible but I'll take guesses with any level of detail from continent to exact intersection. Curious how much folks can pin it down.
2) If you get the exact location: What was the most likely cause of the heavy traffic seen here?
Please CW guesses or solutions to avoid spoilers.
Been thinking of getting experienced on a new topic, Intelligence.
Any tools, or guides, or other topics you would recommend looking at?
I'm not expecting answers like Shodan or Google Dorking but more towards Intel management, tools and analytics

This feels like ratfuckery on behalf of the Conservatives to syphon votes away from the Liberals in order to protect Poilievre‘a seat, but I’ve done some digging on Tomas Szuchewycz, the agent for most of these novelty candidates and I wasn’t able to turn up much beyond his obvious ties to the Long Ballot Committee.
At least this will shine a spotlight on the Carleton riding which might give Bruce Fanjoy’s team an opportunity to grab some of the spotlight.

You've probably seen the link to Dark Web Searching Guide by Chris Poulter (x.com/osintcombine) many times before
It was written in 2020, but was updated by the author last month and is now more relevant.

Für mich persönlich eine tolle Gelegenheit, neben Theorie und Organisation auch die praktische Seite der CyberSecurity im Team zu Trainieren.
2/n
Es gab spannende und herausfordernde Übungen u.a. in den klassischen Kategorien Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Reverse Engineering, Binary Exploitation (Pwn), Coding und Secure Coding sowie Kryptographie (Crypto). Gelegenheiten um mehr neue Technologien zu erlernen gab es in den Kategorien AI, Machine Learning (ML) und Blockchain.

Vorletzte und letzte Woche veranstaltete Hack The Box ein CTF Event mit praktischen Übungen zur Cybersecurity. Mit dabei war ein kleines Team aus Regensburg, und von über 8.000 Teilnehmern konnten wir in die Top 10 kommen.

Surprise! Really excited to announce that the next "𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏-𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔" open class will be happening at x33fcon in Gdynia, Poland!!
This is an intensive, 2-day training. We will cover:
Timeless Social Engineering Attack Scenarios: The tricks that keep working (and why).
The Psychology behind social engineering (we will go well beyond influence tactics!!)
Hybrid & advanced attack techniques that combine multiple attack verticals.
The use of AI in all phases of the social engineering kill-chain.
OSINT: How to conduct reconnaissance on a target (business / person) and what to look for.
Highly practical open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools & techniques that facilitate attack scenarios.
Blue Team Countermeasures: How to disrupt social engineering attacks & create a defense strategy.
...but there will also be some surprises
If you're attending #x33fcon this year I look forward to seeing you there!
