In the areas of offensive and defensive security, valuable information and insights derived from OSINT and reconnaissance are the backbone of success. But gathering the needed data is not easy, it demands immense effort. In this talk I want to share some insights on how you can develop capabilities to automate a lot of the work involved in data collection. With the power of automation, you'll free up valuable time for in-depth intelligence analysis.
Knowing what to do with automation is hard, if you do not know what is possible with automation and where to start. This talk will be a guided tour of the tools available to you. Together we will explore existing automation tools, the many libraries of Python and ways of building your own infrastructure. You will learn that many cutting-edge technologies, like sentiment analysis and facial recognition, are often just a few simple lines of code away. Knowing how to build, deploy and maintain your own automation will give you unlimited flexibility to adapt it to almost any use case you have. You can collect data from any source and format it any way you want, you can perform basic analysis and make capabilities available to your entire team. All of this only requires a little bit of coding knowledge. Automation will free up time and resources, minimize human error and open up a new way of enjoying the process of data collection. I will not push a lot of step-by-step tutorials into one small timeslot, but rather tell you about all the amazing possibilities for automation and allow your creativity to apply it to real world problems, you are facing.
