You work at an organization that compiles OSINT research for its clients. Whenever a new open source data set is found, an analyst reviews it to see if it would be valuable for the organization to utilize and writes a report that is shared within the organization. It is your turn to review a new data set. An organization called Strava has released anonymized metadata from millions of fitness tracker apps.
Review the Strava Global Heatmap data source website and write a 1- to 2-page report that includes the following:
• What data and metadata are being shared?
• How does compiling the data from millions of people make this data set more valuable?
• How could this data set be used in penetration testing? How could this be used for social engineering penetration testing?
• Overall recommendations on your organization that can leverage this open source
After your initial exploration of the data, read the Fitness App’s ‘Anonymized’ Data Dump Accidentally Reveals Military Bases Around the World article from Gizmodo on that data source to help you consider ways it could be used. You may find it helpful to research more information on the data source.
Note: A reflection activity is your opportunity to think back on what you’ve learned thus far and apply it to what you’ve done in the past. Think about the concepts and skills that you’ve acquired, what surprised you, and perhaps where you could stand to learn a bit more. It’s also an opportunity to think about how you’ll use these concepts and skills on the job and in future endeavors.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Submit your reflection.
