Hi everyone, and welcome to the section number for called
notes and password managers as the title
suggests. Now, we will go through some of the tools that are
probably best for the note, taking a password managing tasks
in regard to euros investigations.
First, we will talk about a very important topic of any osint
investigation. And that is the note taking part. Actually.
It is not all about writing. There are a lot of
screenshot and bookmark. Taking involved notes
are often a very tricky part or
to better say a potential trap for all your owes investigations.
I have a question for you. Now. Did
this ever happened to you? You are watching a
video on YouTube and an hour later you ended up
on a completely different topic, and you can't even
Remember how you got there? That is? The note-taking rabbit
hole of osint about which I'm talking about. Everything
looks great when you start, but only after a
few sources which could all look similar, you
could get lost and unable to trace your steps.
Personally. I like
using paper and pencil, but to be honest, that
is not efficient or optimal. When I do my research on
the internet.
Now, I would like to list and now
I would like to show you a few of the note taking programs.
When we get to the note taking software.
First, you have a simple plain text editor, like
notepad on Microsoft or textedit on a Mac OS.
Actually, I would not recommend. I'm using them as a main
note-taking piece of software, rather has an
additional one because they do not have any real Advanced
features in themselves. They're designed to
be just that, plain text editors without formatting. I
always use them as a buffer note space to
do copy paste activities with the purpose to
strip down.
Formatting from the text.
After that is a real digital note-taking tool
from Microsoft. It is called one note. I
have used one note for many years because it has
almost everything you will need to write, copy
paste, the screenshot make process artwork and
so forth. For Euro Cent investigations. I
stopped using it just because of the privacy issues
and because it was forcing me to use the whole Microsoft
online ecosystem, when
you gets to note, taking
Password, storing by using password managers.
I like them offline without any
sinking to the cloud, but it is definitely worth mentioning
because many people work in companies, where Microsoft's products
are a must use or
a must have. Just, additionally, OneNote is
also cross-platform product so you can use it
on a Mac OS IOS and Android.
Please allow me now to show you how it looks like.
Here we are in my OneNote. So
I won't go talking about licenses and Office
365 and all that because there is
a possibility that what I am telling you now won't be relevant when
you wash this course because licensing models
tend to change often. So here
is my OneNote app. I have already created
a new notebook and I
have put the name osint 2020.
And now, as you can see, since it has a subtree design,
you have sections.
Let's call this section.
Case.
01.
With pages.
Here is the page, I can call it. Let's say,
I will call it just profile. So
a great feature which I love and
it's very beneficial for data. Collection is the ability to
accept that. One note accepts just about
any file type as paste and
insertions into a page. Allow me
to show you. So if I take a PDF, which
I downloaded on from the internet, I
just drag and drop it here.
And I will be asked, should I insert it
as a file? Or as a printout? I will insert it as
a file.
Okay, this is a PDF sample, which
you can.
Preview.
And here you can add text almost anywhere. As
you can see.
Also, if you found something on the Internet a
link probably you can make a
simple paste.
then use some insert
tools, like
arrows.
To make Rafa kle correlation.
You can also insert pictures.
Okay, this is just simple note-taking, but
they're just wanted to show you the general idea of
OneNote.
Back to our note-taking software next.
I have to mention standard notes for you to check out.
This is probably the best. Privacy focused, note
taking application out there. You can download it
and try it for yourself on the site. Standard
notes that Org. The application itself
is open source with versions for Mac OS
iOS Windows Android and Linux a
great thing about standard notes, besides. It's
aes-256.
Six encryption is that you can both use it completely
offline or if you wish to make an account.
You can use its Sync features. Of
course, there is a premium version that adds Advanced
features like multi-factor authentication and
automated backups to you to your own
cloud service of choice, but the standard one also
covers a lot of your needed features.
Next on the list is a cool named app. That
is a hunch Li H UNC.
Hly the website. Where
is it? Located is hunch that Lee hu
NC h. .L y.
This tool is not free, but the rabbit hole
in which you could possibly go down will be that deep if
you use it, and I would like to show you a quick overview of
this tool.
Here, we are back on our Ubuntu, Olson virtual machine.
So to get Huntley, the first thing
you need to do is go to the site hunch that
Lee and register for a free trial and
you will get a license file that will be needed to upload to
the hunch Lee app. At the present moment.
The trial is 30 days, download and
install. The country software also installed the extension on
your browser. And since Chrome is
mandatory to use with Huntley, we
Had to install Google Chrome and
then get the extension to integrate Chrome with
the Huntley software.
So, don't forget to go to the Google's official web
store for the extension. So there is no funny business. Actually,
you, you will see a great instructional video,
how to install hunch lie on your operating system. The
link will be available. The moment you register for
the trial. We did all
that and now we are going straight to the recording part
of our web activity.
As you can see, I already put a
hunch Lee and Google Chrome on my dock to
the favorite.
We will fire up Google Chrome.
And as you can see on the browser in the upper
right corner, there's a little icon where you
can start to record your activity. We
will enable Huntley.
Select dashboard to open the
Huntley program.
Okay, here's Huntley here. We you
can add, there are a lot of options but
as the first step great a
case in which the web activity will be recorded. So
we're going to add a case new case
and give it
a name first case.
And save. Okay.
Now get back to
the Chrome browser.
now, in the Huntsville extension,
I will choose the case as
you can see, first case, we that we previously created
in the Huntley app.
So that will be the target where the web quatre
capture will be uploaded and enable
the capture that
is on now.
As a first stop.
I'll go to Code. Red Dot.
Ec-council dot-org.
Look around a little bit, scroll.
Click something.
You a couple of things.
Just to be sure when you start browsing
that the connection to the country app
is working can check the country app. And
here, as you can see. I already have two
pages viewed.
I will get back to the browser, then.
I'll, maybe I'll go and search for something to
see how that looks. How would that look
in the report?
I'll type in.
Black hat.
And here I will make a note with
the right click.
Something dressed.
Safe.
Okay, I think we have done our research.
It's not a big one. But just to show you go
to the Huntley extension again in the browser.
And turn the capture off.
We're done with it.
And now go back into Huntley app to
see what have we captured. As
you can see, we have the time.
For easier.
Follow.
Notes.
Which I did OneNote.
Actually in here in history, when I look at the page that I
previewed, as you
can see, I have the whole page here.
I can even see the source.
Code that is available.
Okay. This was just a basic overview
of this tool. And as you can see, the
tool has a lot of options and you
can structure your captures your
findings very well here.
So, remember by using this tool, you will never ever
have to remember, to take a screenshot gonna
cut and paste a URL or
save documents while you do your investigations with the browser.
And lastly are really useful tool that
allows you to inspect any website in an offline
manner after you download it. The tool
is called HT track. Now, we'll get back
to our Ubuntu to get through the basic usage of
the tool.
Here we are on our virtual machine again to
install age. T track simply go to
the terminal.
And type sudo apt.
Install HD track
enter.
Typing, your sudo password.
Yes, for confirmation.
Wait, a few moments.
Okay, now that it is installed. Let's try
it out. We will also use the terminal for
this but before that we
have to go to the web
browser to see our web page of that interests
us that we will download, copy down, copy
for offline. Use.
I will use my, my blog.
I Tina dotnet.
Just for you to see how the website looks
like, okay?
We can go back.
Clear our screen a little bit.
so, the command to copy the website
is
Space. And then the target web
page link. Mine will be www. It
no dot net and
press enter.
This could take a while.
I would love to interrupt the process.
So we can see what has HD track downloaded.
Okay, again,
we're going to clear the screen.
so,
The downloaded website will be in the home directory.
Here it is. And you can see it's
a folder named www.by Tino
dotnet.
And to check it out with Firefox.
Type. Firefox, www.by Tino,
dotnet and press enter.
Now you can now see the folder folder structure.
The folder that interests us a sample page.
And index.html.
it may be recall from before this is
almost, actually, this is the
full web page that we
Previously, watched online.
I want me to make an announcement of the next video. So we
went over the note, taking part of the house and with a few demonstrations
of the tools. And in the next video,
we will go through the password managers, actually
only one, but I will tell you all about it in the
next video. See you there.
