EXPECTATIONS OF DATA: OSINT & DIGITAL FORENSICS
Understanding the expectation of data can help you to gain a better understanding of the data sources and availability. Instead of feeling disappointed that you did not find the smoking gun, you can adjust your technique to utilize a data source that might provide more information. In the search for data, there are multiple techniques one can use to catch the right information, ranging from OSINT techniques to digital forensics techniques, with each offering a different data value and quantity. The combination of techniques can bring a more holistic approach to the digital investigation process.
Learning Objectives
- Redefining the “open” side of digital investigations to match multiple data sources
- Data sources associated with social media capture OSINT vs Digital Forensics
- Creating a combined technique workflow to capture the optimal amount of data
AMBER SCHROADER
