Presentation Title Netglub: Really Open Source Information Gathering
Presentation Abstract
Open Source Information Gathering is an emerging discipline in which all the wealth does not yet seem exploited. In this presentation we try to define the usage context of this area and give an illustration of tooling through the instrumentation of our platform Netglub, an alternative to the well-known tool Maltego. We wanted to achieve an Open-Source version so that everyone can implement their own Open Source Information Gathering infrastructure.
The purpose of this presentation is to show, from the basic features and architecture elements, how we designed the distributed platform ‘Netglub’. In this presentation, we begin by reminding what is commonly meant by Open Source Information Gathering, in order to define it’s usage context. After exposing some use-cases we present the foundations of our platform, it’s general architecture and some of it’s specifics, before opening the debate and suggesting some avenues for study. We shall also present our current developments and the development roadmap for future releases.
