You Should Know:

OSINT is crucial for ICS/OT security professionals to gather threat intelligence. Below are key commands, tools, and steps to practice OSINT techniques in cybersecurity:

1. Basic Linux OSINT Commands

 WHOIS lookup for domain info 
whois example.com

DNS enumeration 
dig example.com ANY 
nslookup example.com

Extract metadata from files 
exiftool filename.pdf 

2. Advanced OSINT Tools

  • Maltego – For graphical link analysis
  • theHarvester – Email & domain reconnaissance
    theHarvester -d example.com -b google 
    
  • Shodan – Search for exposed ICS/OT devices
    shodan search "Industrial Control Systems" 
    

3. Windows-Based OSINT Commands

 Network discovery 
nslookup example.com 
netstat -ano | findstr LISTENING

Extract file hashes for threat intel 
certutil -hashfile malware.exe SHA256 

4. Practical OSINT Steps for ICS/OT Security

1. Identify Publicly Exposed ICS Devices using Shodan/Censys.

2. Analyze Threat Feeds (e.g., MISP, OTX AlienVault).

  1. Track Threat Actors via Twitter, GitHub, and dark web forums.
  2. Use OSINT Frameworks like SpiderFoot or OSINT Framework.

What Undercode Say:

OSINT is a foundational skill for ICS/OT cybersecurity. Mastering tools like Maltego, Shodan, and theHarvester enhances threat detection. Always verify findings with multiple sources and stay updated with ICS-CERT advisories.
