Social media and public data OSINT with ChatGPT

Open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques allow us to gather information from publicly available sources to support cybersecurity operations such as penetration testing. This can include scouring social media sites, public records, job postings, and more. In this recipe, we will use ChatGPT’s natural language capabilities to guide us through an entire OSINT project focused on gathering intel from social media and other public data sources.

ChatGPT can serve as an AI OSINT expert, walking us through effective online reconnaissance from start to finish. The conversational nature of the process helps us learn as we go, gaining new skills and ideas. By the end, you’ll have a detailed plan and methodology you can replicate for real-world engagements. OSINT is a vital skill for ethical hackers, social engineers, and cyber defenders alike.
