Analysing digital footprint elements in cyber-attack scenarios

The rapid development of technology and the availability of the internet network to everyone have led to an increase in the number of entities with digital footprints. With this development in technology, the number of threat actors has also increased. Threat actors need to gather information about the target before executing a cyber attack on the intended target. The data that's need for the cyber attack is mostly collected with open-source intelligence methods. Within the scope of this thesis study, the type of data that can be collected with open-source intelligence will be determined and will be correlated with the cyber attacks were the collected data can be used.
