This book explores Open Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT) inside out from multiple perspectives, including those of hackers and seasoned intelligence experts. OSINT refers to the techniques and tools required to harvest publicly available data concerning a person or an organization. With several years of experience of tracking hackers with OSINT, the author whips up a classical plot-line involving a hunt for a threat actor. While taking the audience through the thrilling investigative drama, the author immerses the audience with in-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art OSINT tools and techniques. Technical users will want a basic understanding of the Linux command line in order to follow the examples. But a person with no Linux or programming experience can still gain a lot from this book through the commentaries.  This book’s unique digital investigation proposition is a combination of story-telling, tutorials, and case studies. The book explores digital investigation from multiple angles:     Through the eyes of the author who has several years of experience in the subject. Through the mind of the hacker who collects massive amounts of data from multiple online sources to identify targets as well as ways to hit the targets. Through the eyes of industry leaders.   This book is ideal for:  Investigation professionals, forensic analysts, and CISO\/CIO and other executives wanting to understand the mindset of a hacker and how seemingly harmless information can be used to target their organization.   Security analysts, forensic investigators, and SOC teams looking for new approaches on digital investigations from the perspective of collecting and parsing publicly available information.  CISOs and defense teams will find this book useful because it takes the perspective of infiltrating an organization from the mindset of a hacker. The commentary provided by outside experts will also provide them with ideas to further protect their organization’s data.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732188602641,"sku":"NGR9781119540922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49773125796113,"sku":"CIN1119540925G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50178350842129,"sku":"GOR013443493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50377907732753,"sku":"CIN1119540925VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51257326174481,"sku":"NIN9781119540922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106099654929,"sku":"CIN1119540925A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1119540925.jpg?v=1750984191"},{"product_id":"grey-area-book-vinny-troia-9781394357277","title":"Grey Area","description":"A compelling, first-hand account of the dark web, from its underground ecosystem, to the people responsible for committing data breaches and leaking data, 21st century’s most consequential data breaches, the responses to those attacks, and the impact of dark web data and intelligence gathering and can have in the defense and security of our nation.    In Grey Area, veteran hacker and cybersecurity investigations expert Vinny Troia offers an unfiltered, first-person look into the evolving relationship between open-source intelligence (OSINT) and the dark web data ecosystem. Drawing from years of hands-on experience in digital forensics, dark web investigations, and adversarial engagement, Troia explores how publicly available and commercially available information—PAI and CAI—are rapidly becoming the backbone of modern intelligence operations, and how a human intelligence network of known cyber criminals helped identify and stop one of the largest data breaches in known history.    This book examines the legal, operational, and ethical dimensions of collecting and exploiting data from the darkest corners of the internet, including leaked databases, breached credentials, and hidden criminal networks. It breaks down how to discover, process, validate, and operationalize this data in real-world contexts—from attribution and threat actor profiling to national security use cases.   You’ll explore the evolution of OSINT within the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community through exclusive, first-hand accounts from senior officials who helped define its path. You'll also learn how AI and automation tools are being used to validate data at scale, detect disinformation, and supercharge open-source investigations.   The book also covers how data is stolen and what happens to it after the theft. Through his direct account as Reddington, Troia provides actual unedited conversations with the cyber criminals responsible for a hack targeting more than 160 companies, including his own interactions leading to the hack, the extortion negotiation and responses with each of the effected organizations, and how the hackers were ultimately brought to justice.    From discussions of the legal grey areas of data collection, ransom negotiations, and a first-hand perspective of his interaction with well-known hackers, Grey Area is a compelling and honest account of the realities of the dark web, data theft, and ways in which the intelligence community should be leveraging these methods to help strengthen our national security.    Inside the book:     Blow-by-blow accounts of one of the largest data breaches in recorded history Interviews and commentary from high level officials at the CIA, ODNI, DIA, and DOD.  Informed, insightful commentary on how cybersecurity professionals are using dark web open-source intelligence to strengthen national security, and our country’s defenses against hackers and foreign adversaries.   Revealing interviews with experienced hackers who explain a variety of approaches, philosophies, and strategies for combatting and recovering from data breaches   Grey Area is essential reading for cybersecurity professionals, intelligence analysts, investigators, and policy leaders navigating the complex intersection of dark web data, national security, and open-source intelligence. Through real-world case studies and insider accounts, it delivers actionable insight into the future of data-driven investigations, threat attribution, and the expanding role of OSINT in modern intelligence operations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51770003554577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51770003620113,"sku":"NGR9781394357277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52515884171537,"sku":"NIN9781394357277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781394357277.jpg?v=1756303887"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-vinny-troia.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
