Footprinting In computer security, footprinting is the process of accumulating data
regarding a specific network environment, usually for the purpose of finding ways to intrude into the environment.

Intelligence Gathering In government and military operations, evaluated information
concerning the strength, activities, and probable courses of action of international actors that are usually, though not always, enemies or
opponents. http://www.answers.com/topic/intelligence-information-gathering
So what this isn't 0 Day!!
Why should this matter to me…
What good is 0 Day if you don’t know anything about your target?
As a Business?
• Competitors
• Compliance ≠ Security
• Information leakage I have all my boxes checked but the receptionist just
gave the delivery guy the secret key code to get into the front after hours
As a Business?
• User Training (This Means a Continuous Process)
Does the receptionist really need to give out that much information?
• Map out your information flow
Who has access to what and why?
• Avoid privilege creep
If someone changes functions in a company take away the old permissions.
*Remember Defense in Depth can be circumvented by Tom Foolery and lack of common sense…
As a Pen Tester?
• Proper Intelligence gathering & footprinting is key to protecting & understanding your clients!
• The more time spent gaining Intel the less Nessus plugin’s you will need to run!
As a Pen Tester?
What else can I look for beyond the usual?
• Where does the information flow?

P2P & Torrent sites, Online Storage Sites
