00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:09.230
Hey there! Welcome to our course, Technical Information Gathering With

00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:13.920
theHarvester. In the Cybersecurity Tools course, you learned how to gather both

00:00:13.930 --> 00:00:19.100
technical and people information about your target using theHarvester tool. In a

00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:23.040
red team engagement, one of the most important steps of the whole project is

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.680
gathering information about your client,

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:28.390
and that's because the information that you collect in here will be really

00:00:28.390 --> 00:00:30.890
useful during the exploitation phase of your engagement.

00:00:31.540 --> 00:00:34.380
For example, if you do a really good information gathering job,

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.260
you may find not‑so‑secure servers open to the internet,

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.840
which can be way easier to exploit than the main company website.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.970
So in this course, we'll cover theHarvester,

00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:47.640
which will help you to automate the information gathering so you can

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.950
find tons of interesting information about your target.

00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:54.280
We start by showing how to use theHarvester to find subdomains,

00:00:54.470 --> 00:00:57.630
and IP addresses that could be interesting for an exploitation phase.

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:01.600
Then we also cover how to use the tool to find information

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.540
about the people that work in the company,

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.750
such as email addresses, Twitter accounts, and even LinkedIn profiles.

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:11.310
So whether you're trying to gather information about a target in a red

00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:15.110
team engagement or you're just looking to audit the cybersecurity

00:01:15.110 --> 00:01:19.110
exposure of your own company, join me in learning how to gather technical

00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:21.820
information with theHarvester tool here,

00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:22.630
