I have my first CTF competition of 2020 coming up and I’m super excited! This one is an OSINT CTF for missing persons sponsored by TraceLabs. I don’t know much about OSINT which is why I’m really excited for it. During the last couple of days, I have been just pouring over information, finding popular tools to use, reading and learning about what other people do, and just getting familiar with the whole aspect of sneaking around the internet trying to find information about people. I had an idea for a python script which might automate some of the searching so I might have to warm up my coding fingers! I have no idea what to expect for this kind of CTF since the flags are not pre-hidden so it should be interesting! I’ll have to write up an after action report about how I feel about it.
