Speaker 1: All right, ready to dive into some open source intelligence.
Speaker 1: We've got a stack of excerpts here from Open Source
Speaker 1: Intelligence Techniques by Michael Bizell, ninth edition. By the way,
Speaker 1: you really weren't kidding about a deep dive. I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: this book, it's.
Speaker 2: A lot, but it's fascinating stuff.
Speaker 1: It really is. You know, it's kind of wild to
Speaker 1: think about how much the world of investigation has changed.
Speaker 1: Like the book even mentions how some like veteran police chiefs,
Speaker 1: they were totally skeptical of this whole internet investigation thing
Speaker 1: back in the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that. It's true though, and now forget
Speaker 2: about it. It's indispensable, not just for law enforcement either, journalists, cybersecurity.
Speaker 2: Everyone's using it.
Speaker 1: You're preaching to the choir. But that's what makes this
Speaker 1: deep dive so important, right, Everyone wants to be good
Speaker 1: at osent these days, but you got to start.
Speaker 2: With the basics, you got it, and there's no better
Speaker 2: place to start than with setting up a secure environment.
Speaker 2: The book calls it your ocent lab.
Speaker 1: Okay, an ocent lab. It sounds kind of high tech
Speaker 1: and maybe even a little intimidating, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Not really think of it, like think of it like
Speaker 2: a detective wanting a clean crime scene. You don't want
Speaker 2: your own stuff messing up the evidence, right.
Speaker 1: You want that pristine environment where you can be sure
Speaker 1: everything you're finding is legit exactly.
Speaker 2: So you got to create that digital equivalent. And the
Speaker 2: book is great about this because it walks you through
Speaker 2: it step by step. It even recommends a free anti
Speaker 2: virus called clam.
Speaker 1: A clam of v Okay, is that one of the
Speaker 1: really well known ones.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it's not flashy, but it gets the job done.
Speaker 2: Think of it like, hmm, a sniffer dog. It might
Speaker 2: not be the prettiest breed at the dog show, but
Speaker 2: it can sniff out those dangerous files that could be
Speaker 2: lurking on your computer, even if you think your system
Speaker 2: is clean.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's like a safety net. Yeah, even if
Speaker 1: you're pretty sure your system is secure. Clama v is
Speaker 1: there just.
Speaker 2: In case, exactly. And once you've got that first line
Speaker 2: of defense. Bizelle talks about KEYPASSXC. This is huge. It's
Speaker 2: an offline password manager.
Speaker 1: Offline, so it's not like those other ones that are
Speaker 1: you know, connected to the cloud.
Speaker 2: Nope, And that's it. It's like imagine trying to rob
Speaker 2: a safe that's been airlifted to like a secret island.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a visual I get it. So offline equals
Speaker 1: super secure. What happens if you forget your master password? Though?
Speaker 1: Are you like totally locked out?
Speaker 2: Let's just say it's important to chose a good one
Speaker 2: and keep it safe. But yeah, that's the trade off
Speaker 2: for that extra security. Okay, so you've got your secure environment.
Speaker 2: You're feeling good.
Speaker 1: Now what time to start investigating?
Speaker 2: Well, Bizell introduces this really cool tool called Boothscador, And
Speaker 2: this this is where things get really interesting.
Speaker 1: Boskador sounds like mysterious and kind of powerful. What is it?
Speaker 2: So? Imagine you have a toolbox, right, but instead of
Speaker 2: hammers and wrenches, it's full of specialized digital tools for OSENT.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like where this is going. Right.
Speaker 2: It's not just some app you download, it's a whole
Speaker 2: custom built Linux virtual machine.
Speaker 1: Wait, a virtual machine? Does that mean I need to
Speaker 1: learn how to use Linux?
Speaker 2: You don't have to be a Linux wisdom't worry. Basically,
Speaker 2: it's having a separate computer inside your computer.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so I'm not actually messing around with my own.
Speaker 2: System files exactly. It's like wearing gloves at a crime scene.
Speaker 2: You're interacting with the evidence, but there's a barrier protecting you. Now,
Speaker 2: are you ready for one of the coolest tools in
Speaker 2: this buscador.
Speaker 1: Kit always hitvy of it.
Speaker 2: It's called the Metadata tool. Have you ever heard of metadata?
Speaker 2: It's like every digital file, a picture, a document, whatever,
Speaker 2: it's got this hidden information embedded within it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the data was created, stuff like that.
Speaker 2: That, but it can get way more specific, like who
Speaker 2: authored a document, what camera was used to take a photo?
Speaker 2: Even GPS coordinates sometimes no.
Speaker 1: Way, So it's like what digital DNA or something.
Speaker 2: It kind of is. In this tool, it lets you
Speaker 2: analyze even remove that hidden data. So let's say you're
Speaker 2: looking at a document someone claims they wrote, but the
Speaker 2: metadata says otherwise busted. Or maybe a photos metadata places
Speaker 2: it at a suspects house. It's digital detective work at
Speaker 2: its finest.
Speaker 1: Okay, the Metadata tool. That's seriously cool. It's like having
Speaker 1: X ray vision for digital files. But what about something
Speaker 1: a little more you know in the moment, like say
Speaker 1: there's a live event happening, something breaking newsworthy. Can boost
Speaker 1: godor handle that kind of real time stuff? Oh?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's got this tool called the Video Stream Tool,
Speaker 2: and it's not just about watching a live stream, it's
Speaker 2: about actually capturing it, like archiving that digital evidence before
Speaker 2: it disappears.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I see what you mean. So, like, if
Speaker 1: there's a protest happening, or maybe even a suspects live stream,
Speaker 1: you can hit record with this tool and save that
Speaker 1: footage for later.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Think of it as a DVR for like the
Speaker 2: entire Internet. It's invaluable in those situations where every second counts.
Speaker 1: That is seriously powerful stuff. Okay, shifting gears a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let's say we're trying to build a profile of someone online.
Speaker 1: Maybe we've got their username and email address something like that.
Speaker 1: Can Boostkador help us connect those dots? You bet?
Speaker 2: Bouskador has what's called the Username Email Tool, and it's
Speaker 2: designed to do us that. It's like having a master
Speaker 2: key that unlocks a whole network of online profiles connected
Speaker 2: to that single identifier.
Speaker 1: It's like those movies where they type in a name
Speaker 1: and boom, all these files and photos pop up on
Speaker 1: the screen.
Speaker 2: Exactly, social media, forums, online shopping, you name it. This
Speaker 2: tool helps you paint a much fuller picture of someone's
Speaker 2: online presence.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's Bouskador, a seriously impressive toolbox. But before
Speaker 1: we get too far down the rabbit hole of specialized tools,
Speaker 1: let's talk about good old fashioned online research. I mean,
Speaker 1: Google's still king.
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, but it's not just about typing in a
Speaker 2: few keywords and hoping for the best. The book goes
Speaker 2: into a lot of detail about maximizing your Google Foo
Speaker 2: and one of the easiest yet most effective tips quotation marks.
Speaker 1: Quotation marks really like for an exact phrase exactly.
Speaker 2: Say you're looking for open source intelligence techniques, specifically, put
Speaker 2: that whole phrase in quotes, and Google knows to find
Speaker 2: exact matches, not just pages that happen to have those
Speaker 2: words scattered around.
Speaker 1: Oh that makes sense. It's like, what narrowing down your
Speaker 1: search results? Yeah, making them super specific.
Speaker 2: You got it. It's like using a laser pointer instead
Speaker 2: of a floodlight. Then there are search operators.
Speaker 1: Search operators those sound kind of technical.
Speaker 2: They're like little codes you can use to refine your
Speaker 2: searches even further.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: For example, inural lets, you find websites with specific keywords
Speaker 2: in their web address. So you want government websites ineral
Speaker 2: dot gov will narrow down those results for you.
Speaker 1: Ah. Okay, so it's like adding filters to your search
Speaker 1: to weed out all the irrelevant stuff. Very cool. What
Speaker 1: about when you need to like travel back in time
Speaker 1: digitally speaking?
Speaker 2: Of course, I know what you mean. The book actually
Speaker 2: talks about using Google's date range filter with the wayback machine.
Speaker 1: I've heard of that one wayback machine. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: what an archive of the Internet. You can see how
Speaker 1: websites used.
Speaker 2: To look exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So by combining those two tools, you can actually see
Speaker 2: how a website looked at different points in time, even
Speaker 2: if the content has been deleted or changed.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is like digital archaeology. Okay, so we've got
Speaker 1: Google working for us on a whole new level. But
Speaker 1: what about those times when even Google doesn't cut it?
Speaker 1: Are there other search engines out there that might have
Speaker 1: different information?
Speaker 2: You're thinking like a true osent investigator, It's all about
Speaker 2: having the right tool for the job. The book recommends
Speaker 2: exploring other search engines like showdan for example, showdan.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's special about that one? Well?
Speaker 2: Showdan is interesting because it's not just searching websites. It's
Speaker 2: a search engine for Internet connected devices.
Speaker 1: Devices. Wait, so I could search for like all the
Speaker 1: webcams in a certain city.
Speaker 2: You absolutely could. Now we're focusing on the ethical applications here,
Speaker 2: of course, but yeah, Showdan is a powerful tool for researchers,
Speaker 2: security professionals, anyone who needs to understand the landscape of
Speaker 2: connected devices. Now, if you're looking for information about people,
Speaker 2: the book mentions a tool called piple Piple.
Speaker 1: Right, that's one of those what people finder type.
Speaker 2: Websites kind of but think of it like Peoplefinder on steroids,
Speaker 2: designed to uncover those online profiles, social media accounts, even
Speaker 2: blog posts that regular search engines might miss.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's intense. So it sounds like the key
Speaker 1: takeaway here is don't limit yourself exactly.
Speaker 2: Google's a great starting point, but it's not the end all,
Speaker 2: be all. Explore those specialized search engines and remember each
Speaker 2: one has its own strength. It's all about choosing the
Speaker 2: right tool for the task at hand, and of course,
Speaker 2: using them ethically and responsibly.
Speaker 1: Speaking of ethical considerations, I think it's time we dive
Speaker 1: into the world of social media investigations. That's a whole
Speaker 1: other ballgame, right, you.
Speaker 2: Could say that again, social media it's a gold mine
Speaker 2: of information, but it's also a mine field ethically speaking,
Speaker 2: you have to tread carefully.
Speaker 1: So before we even think about creating a fake profile
Speaker 1: or anything like that, what are the ground rules for
Speaker 1: social media? Ows it?
Speaker 2: Well, the book is really clear about this. Transparency and
Speaker 2: legality are key. No hacking, no impersonating others. You've got
Speaker 2: to respect people's privacy and operate within the law.
Speaker 1: Okay, so digital detect not digital spies exactly.
Speaker 2: We're gathering information ethically, not trying to, like, you know,
Speaker 2: ruin anyone's life. Speaking of which, the book highly recommends
Speaker 2: creating separate accounts specifically for your ocent work.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that makes sense. So your personal life and
Speaker 1: your investigator life don't get all.
Speaker 2: Mixed up exactly. You don't want someone you're investigating to
Speaker 2: suddenly see you liking their vacation photos.
Speaker 1: Not a good look. But okay, let's say we've got
Speaker 1: our separate accounts all set up. Where do we even
Speaker 1: begin with social media investigations. There's so much information out
Speaker 1: there it can be overwhelming.
Speaker 2: It's true, but the book breaks it down really well.
Speaker 2: Like it dives deep into Twitter, showing you how to
Speaker 2: uncover those hidden connections between users even how to view
Speaker 2: deleted tweets using the wayback machine.
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on deleted tweets. You mean those can still
Speaker 1: come back to haunt you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Internet never forgets. Even if something's deleted,
Speaker 2: traces of it often remain. It's all about knowing where
Speaker 2: to look.
Speaker 1: So like, some of could try to erase their digital tracks,
Speaker 1: but a good osent investigator could still find them.
Speaker 2: You got it. And it's not just about what people
Speaker 2: post publicly either. The book also talks about analyzing things
Speaker 2: like likes and other interactions.
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. So like, what I like on social
Speaker 1: media says just as much about me as what I
Speaker 1: post myself, maybe even more.
Speaker 2: It reveals your interests, your connections, your online behavior patterns.
Speaker 1: It's like being a digital psychologist or something. But social
Speaker 1: media is just one piece of the puzzle, right, I
Speaker 1: mean we leave digital traces everywhere online, not just on
Speaker 1: our social media profiles exactly.
Speaker 2: Social media is just the tip of the iceberg. Every
Speaker 2: website you visit, every online purchase, it all leaves a trail.
Speaker 2: The book calls these data trails, and it goes deep
Speaker 2: on uncovering those hidden connections.
Speaker 1: Okay, data trails, I like it. So we're talking about
Speaker 1: like following the digital footprints people leave behind, exactly.
Speaker 2: And just like a single footprint can tell a detective
Speaker 2: a lot about the person who left it, those digital
Speaker 2: can be incredibly revealing if you know what to look for.
Speaker 1: So give me an example. What kind of digital breadcrumbs
Speaker 1: are we talking about here?
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with something I bet you've used before,
Speaker 2: reverse image search.
Speaker 1: Reverse image search, Oh yeah, like when you want to
Speaker 1: see if someone's using your photo without permission.
Speaker 2: That's one use, but the book talks about how it
Speaker 2: can be much more powerful than that. Let's say you
Speaker 2: have a photo of someone and you want to learn
Speaker 2: more about them. Reverse image searching that photo could uncover
Speaker 2: their presence on platforms you might not even think of, Pinterest,
Speaker 2: dating apps, professional networking sites.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I see what you mean. It's like using
Speaker 1: a single photo to unlock a whole network of online
Speaker 1: profiles exactly.
Speaker 2: It highlights how interconnected everything is these days. But sometimes
Speaker 2: the information we need isn't just sitting out in the open,
Speaker 2: It's hidden in the shadows of the internet.
Speaker 1: Okay, now we're getting into some seriously cloak and dagger territory.
Speaker 1: What kind of hidden information are we talking about.
Speaker 2: Well, you've probably heard about data breaches, right when hackers
Speaker 2: get in to accompany's systems and steal sensitive information.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those are always in the news. It seems
Speaker 1: like it happens more and more these days.
Speaker 2: It's a huge problem, and it's a reminder that digital
Speaker 2: security is an ongoing battle. But for ocent investigators, these
Speaker 2: data breaches can actually be a valuable source of information.
Speaker 1: Really, you're saying that investigators sometimes use this stolen data.
Speaker 2: It's more nuanced than that. It's not about condoning these
Speaker 2: brooches or exploiting anyone's misfortune. It's about understanding that this
Speaker 2: information is often already circulating online and knowing how to
Speaker 2: access it and analyze it can be crucial for certain investigations.
Speaker 1: So it's like infiltrating the hacker's layer, but instead of
Speaker 1: stealing anything, you're using the information to I don't know,
Speaker 1: catch criminals.
Speaker 2: Or something exactly. It's all about using this information ethically
Speaker 2: and responsibly. The book talks about the importance of understanding
Speaker 2: the source of the data, verifying its authenticity, and always
Speaker 2: being transparent about where your information came from.
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense. You don't want to be presenting
Speaker 1: information that turns out to be unreliable or obtained the
Speaker 1: illegally exactly.
Speaker 2: And that brings us to another important point.
Speaker 1: Pastes pastes, I think I missed that one. What are those? So?
Speaker 2: Pastes are basically snippets of texts that people post online,
Speaker 2: forum posts, code snippets, even parts of documents.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and why are those important? They sound kind
Speaker 1: of random.
Speaker 2: Well, you might think these little bits of text are insignificant,
Speaker 2: but they can actually linger online long after the original
Speaker 2: source is gone.
Speaker 1: Ah. I see. So it's like finding a scrap of
Speaker 1: paper with someone's handwriting on it. It might seem like nothing,
Speaker 1: but it could be a valuable clue exactly.
Speaker 2: And these digital crumbs can turn up in some unexpected places.
Speaker 2: It's all about knowing where to look.
Speaker 1: My mind is officially blown. This is all so fascinating
Speaker 1: and kind of overwhelming at the same time. I hear you.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing about osin. It's a constantly evolving field.
Speaker 2: There's always something new to learn, a new tool to discover.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of learning and discovering, what other osent secret
Speaker 1: does the book have in store for us? I'm ready
Speaker 1: for more.
Speaker 2: Well, get this. The book doesn't just stop at the basics.
Speaker 2: It goes deep on some seriously powerful tools. I'm talking
Speaker 2: advanced Linux tools.
Speaker 1: Okay, Linux, I'm not gonna lie. That always sounds a
Speaker 1: little intimidating. Is this part of the book just for
Speaker 1: the tech wizards out there? Or can a regular person
Speaker 1: handle it?
Speaker 2: You don't need to be a coding genius. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: The book actually does a great job of explaining everything,
Speaker 2: even the complicated stuff, in a way that like anyone
Speaker 2: can understand.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's reassuring.
Speaker 2: Think of fit this way. You're a detective, right and
Speaker 2: you've got your trusty tools, magnifying glass, fingerprint kit, the classics.
Speaker 2: These Linux tools, they're like adding a whole high tech
Speaker 2: forensics lab to your arsenal.
Speaker 1: Okay, now that's an image. I like the sound of that,
Speaker 1: but I gotta be honest. The idea of like messing
Speaker 1: around with Linux on my computer makes me a little nervous.
Speaker 2: And you should be cautious. But you don't have to
Speaker 2: be scared. The book walks you through this whole whole
Speaker 2: process of setting up something called a virtual machine. It's
Speaker 2: basically like imagine running a completely separate operating system, a.
Speaker 1: Separate operating system on my computer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, inside your computer. It's like a computer inside your computer.
Speaker 2: And in this case, that separate operating system would be Linux.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So it's like a safe space. If I
Speaker 1: mess something up, it's not going to affect my actual
Speaker 1: computer exactly.
Speaker 2: It's self contained. It's like imagine you're a chef and
Speaker 2: you have a separate kitchen just for experimenting with new recipes.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to risk messing up your main kitchen.
Speaker 1: Right, that's a great analogy. So I've got my virtual machine,
Speaker 1: my safe space all set up. What kind of tools
Speaker 1: are we talking about here? Give me the good stuff,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: One of the first ones the book introduces is called
Speaker 2: the harvester.
Speaker 1: The harvester, okay, sounds intriguing. What does it do?
Speaker 2: So imagine you're investigating a company, right, and you need
Speaker 2: to find out all the email addresses they use or
Speaker 2: maybe uncover any subdomains they might have. The harvester is
Speaker 2: like sending out this team of digital scouts to gather
Speaker 2: that information for you automatically.
Speaker 1: So instead of like manually searching for hours on end,
Speaker 1: the harvester just goes out and finds it.
Speaker 2: All for me exactly. It automates that whole initial phase
Speaker 2: of information gathering. Then there's METAGOOFHIL. Remember how we were
Speaker 2: talking about metadata earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hidden data in digital files, right.
Speaker 2: METAGOOFHIL is like a forensic expert that specializes in extracting
Speaker 2: that metadata.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it can tell you things like what who
Speaker 1: created the file, when it was created.
Speaker 2: That's just the beginning. It can even tell you things
Speaker 2: like what software they used to create it, where it's
Speaker 2: been saved, and a bunch of other technical details that
Speaker 2: most people don't even know exist.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. It's like finding a hidden signature on
Speaker 1: a document or something.
Speaker 2: It kind of is, and that kind of information can
Speaker 2: be incredibly useful for verification. Like let's say you have
Speaker 2: a document and you need to know for sure if
Speaker 2: it's authentic. Metagoofl can help you figure that out.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got our digital scouts, got our forensic experts.
Speaker 1: What other specialists are in this Linux toolkit?
Speaker 2: Well, once you've gathered all this information, you got to
Speaker 2: make sense of it, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one thing to click data, but it's another
Speaker 1: thing entirely to actually understand what it all means exactly.
Speaker 2: And that's where a tool called Maltago comes in.
Speaker 1: Multago, Kay, I'm ready. What does Maltago do?
Speaker 2: So imagine this. You're in a detective movie, right, and
Speaker 2: you've got that classic scene where they're in a dark
Speaker 2: room pinning photos and notes to a giant corkboard, trying
Speaker 2: to connect the dots. That's basically what Maltiego does, but
Speaker 2: in the digital world.
Speaker 1: So it's like what a mind mapping tool for investigators?
Speaker 2: Exactly. It's a data visualization tool that helps you see
Speaker 2: the relationships between all those different pieces of information you've collected.
Speaker 2: It's all about connecting the dots and seeing the bigger picture.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. But I got to ask, all of this
Speaker 1: relies on actually having data to work with in the
Speaker 1: first place, right, So where are we finding all this
Speaker 1: raw material for our investigations.
Speaker 2: That's a great question, and it brings us to one
Speaker 2: of the most controversial yet undeniably valuable sources of information
Speaker 2: in the oscent world, data breaches and leaks.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're talking about those situations where hackers break
Speaker 1: into a company's system and steal a bunch of sensitive information,
Speaker 1: like I've definitely seen those headlines exactly.
Speaker 2: It's a constant reminder that in the digital age, no
Speaker 2: system is foolproof, and unfortunately, these breaches often result in
Speaker 2: massive amounts of personal information ending up in the wrong hands.
Speaker 1: It's like the digital equivalent of someone rummaging through your
Speaker 1: trash and finding all your personal documents.
Speaker 2: It's an unsettling thought and it's a huge problem. But
Speaker 2: for ocent investigators, these breaches can also be a source
Speaker 2: of valuable information.
Speaker 1: Wait, really, you're saying investigators sometimes use this stolen data.
Speaker 2: It's not quite that simple. It's not about condoning these
Speaker 2: breaches or trying to profit from someone else's misfortune. It's
Speaker 2: about understanding that this information is often already circulating online
Speaker 2: and knowing how to access it and analyze it can
Speaker 2: be crucial for certain types of investigations.
Speaker 1: So like if you're trying to track down a criminal
Speaker 1: or maybe find a missing person, this leaked data could
Speaker 1: provide a critical lead exactly.
Speaker 2: But it's a morally complex landscape. That's why the book
Speaker 2: really stresses the ethical considerations. We're not talking about like
Speaker 2: exploiting people's misfortune or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Right, because that would make you know better than the
Speaker 1: hackers who stole in the first place.
Speaker 2: Exactly. It's all about using this information responsibly and legally,
Speaker 2: and that means understanding the source of the data, making
Speaker 2: sure it's authentic, and being completely transparent about where your
Speaker 2: information came from.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've talked about finding the information, analyzing it,
Speaker 1: verifying it. But what about the final product, Like, how
Speaker 1: do we take all this raw data and turn it
Speaker 1: into something actually useful.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's where the rubber meets the road, right. The
Speaker 2: book dedicates a whole section to this analyzing, documenting, and
Speaker 2: reporting your OSENT findings.
Speaker 1: So it's not enough to just like be a digital detective.
Speaker 1: You've got to be a storyteller.
Speaker 2: Too, exactly because at the end of the day, the
Speaker 2: goal is to uncover the truth and then communicate that
Speaker 2: truth effectively. Whether it's writing a report, creating a presentation,
Speaker 2: or even just explaining your findings to someone.
Speaker 1: It's about taking all that complex data and turning it
Speaker 1: into a story that people can understand. Wow, this has
Speaker 1: been an incredible deep dive. I mean we've covered so
Speaker 1: much ground, from basic Google searches to advance Linux tools
Speaker 1: and even the ethically complex world of data breaches.
Speaker 2: It's a lot to take in, but hopefully our listeners
Speaker 2: are starting to see that Oscent isn't some mysterious dark
Speaker 2: art practiced only by like spies and hackers. It's a
Speaker 2: skill set that anyone can learn and use in their
Speaker 2: own life.
Speaker 1: Exactly. It's about becoming an information detective, and like you said,
Speaker 1: it's not about being some kind of tech genius. It's
Speaker 1: about having the right mindset, the right tools, and always
Speaker 1: always remembering the ethical implications of the work well set.
Speaker 1: This is definitely one of those topics that we could
Speaker 1: probably talk about for days, but alas all good things
Speaker 1: must come to an end.
Speaker 2: For now, at least, There's always more to explore in
Speaker 2: the world of Oocent, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: But until next time, keep those detective hats handy and
Speaker 1: remember the truth is out there, just waiting to be uncovered.
