Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Report on Tesla, Inc. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Report on Tesla, Inc. By: Sulemana Salifu Course: IT532 – Computer Forensics Institution: Southern States University Instructor: Robert Pacheco 1. Introduction and Objective The main goal of this assignment requires students to use open source intelligence (OSINT) and Google Dorking methods to collect publicly accessible data about Tesla Inc. The research aims to find Tesla executive lists and contact details and corporate addresses and essential organizational facts and strategic and financial data that exist outside non-public systems. The exercise shows how to collect ethical and legal information about a major international company through public sources and search functions and official records. 2. Methodology: OSINT and Google Dorking The research used standard web searches which Google advanced operators known as...

NetworkMiner: A Practical and Efficient Network Forensics Tool NetworkMiner: A Practical and Efficient Network Forensics Tool for Real-World Analysis Course: IT532 – Computer Forensics Topic: Network Forensics Tools - NetworkMiner Example of the NetworkMiner interface during analysis. NetworkMiner operates as a network forensics tool which enables users to capture and analyze network traffic through a simple configuration process. NetworkMiner operates differently from Wireshark because it specializes in forensic network session reconstruction which makes it perfect for incident responders and digital forensic analysts. The tool operates through two methods which include parsing PCAP files and live network sniffing (Umar, 2019). NetworkMiner demonstrated its ability to extract important evidence from complicated datasets during my testing experience. The...

IT532 Mid-Term Project: Exif Data, Steganography, Network, and System Analysis IT532 Mid-Term Blog: Exploring Digital Forensics Tools and System Analysis By: Sulemana Salifu Course: IT532 – Computer Forensics This mid-term project demonstrates practical applications of digital forensics and system analysis using four distinct tools: ExifTool for metadata extraction, OpenStego for steganography, Wireshark for network analysis, and Windows Command Prompt for system diagnostics. These exercises provide a hands-on understanding of data privacy, hidden information, and system optimization—core areas of modern digital forensics. Part 1: Exif Data Extraction Using ExifTool Objective: The research aims to study digital photo metadata to determine how sharing images online affects personal privacy. I started by installing ExifTool , which serves as a popular tool for extracting metadata information. I chose a smartphone selfie picture to execute the followin...
