OSINT is often mentioned, but not really covered.

Occasionally mention is made of a particular tool, but the aspiring professional is left to their own means to discover how to use the tool, or determine what information is of value.

Given a sample case, a real world person, the talk will include some dox freely available in the wild and discuss and demonstrate how some of the information found can easily be used in a penetration test or by an attacker.

The purpose of this discussion is multi-parted. By and large it will show some aspiring individuals how to go about gathering some of the information.

It will also serve as a warning to those in the audience who might be simply curious about infosec and security in general, how easy it can be to find some information about particular individuals.
