Using FOCA to collect Metadata about an organization
Metadata is data about data. I’ve covered this subject before, and will link to
other videos and articles at the end of this presentation. Larry, Carlos and Tom
have all been an inspiration for this video, and I will link you off to some of
their stuff as well.
Applications can add all sorts of data into the documents they create or edit.
DOC, PDF, XLS and other file types can contain all sorts of extra data, like
usernames, network paths, printers and application version numbers. This sort of
information is great for doing initial research about an organization before
doing a pen-test. This video with cover using FOCA, pointing it at a domain
name, and grabbing metadata from doc, ppt, pps, xls, docx, pptx, ppsx, xlsx, sxw,
sxc, sxi, odt, ods, odg, odp, pdf and wpd files.
