Open Source Intelligence Tech Research Project

Objective

The purpose of this Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Project is to use publicly available sources of
information to investigate an emerging application of technology and then prepare a report suitable for
dissemination to interested parties in business and government (subscribers to a threat intelligence
reporting service).

Overview

Your task is to develop an OSINT report which provides information about the characteristics of an
emerging application of technology and the threats / attacks to which it may be vulnerable. The
consumers of this report have an interest in developing suitable countermeasures to prevent attacks by
a broad spectrum of attackers from hobbyists to quasi-professionals and criminal entities to well
organized, nation-state sponsored groups. When possible, your OSINT should explore the types and
identities of known attackers who are likely to target users and usages of the technology covered by
your report.
The basic question that must be answered in your OSINT report is: what are the cybersecurity
implications (good or bad) of a specific emerging application of technology?
