A Journey in Practical OSINT for a Cybersecurity Analyst

Presenter: Nadia Vigneault, Cybersecurity Analyst, Lead Forensics (Quebec, Canada)

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques are essential for investigating Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) following cyberattacks like malware, phishing, and other threats. In this presentation, Nadia Vigneault will provide practical tips and showcase key OSINT tools used to uncover and analyze malicious infrastructures.

Participants will learn how to search for crucial data points—such as IP addresses, DNS records, emails, ports, and file hashes—and use both online tools and CSI-Linux to strengthen their investigations. Join us for a hands-on exploration of the world of practical OSINT for cybersecurity!

What You’ll Learn:
• Investigating Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) – Discover techniques to investigate IOCs like IP addresses, DNS records, emails, ports, and file hashes.
• Cyber Threat Actor Infrastructure – Learn how to map and analyze the infrastructure used by threat actors to strengthen your cybersecurity response.
• Essential OSINT Tools – Explore a variety of online OSINT tools and practical applications within CSI-Linux for enhanced investigation workflows.
• Practical Investigation Tips – Gain actionable advice for efficiently searching, filtering, and verifying data critical to incident response and threat analysis.
