CYB 350 Open Source Intelligence

Prior to attacking a particular system or organization, hackers will gather intelligence on potential targets to understand its strengths and weaknesses. This course will instruct students how to utilize open-source intelligence (OSINT) methods on the deep and dark web, and techniques to improve the way they collect, collate and analyze open source information to generate intelligence. Students will learn how to develop target assessments which list potential vulnerabilities and can be utilized for penetration testing. (Prerequisite: CYB 325)
