OSINT Mapping: Discover People and Build Organizational Charts

Introduction to OSINT Mapping

Understanding your target's organizational structure is crucial for effective penetration testing. Knowing who works where, their roles, and their relationships helps you craft targeted social engineering attacks, identify high-value targets, and map attack paths through human vulnerabilities.

HackFast's OSINT mapping tools automate the discovery of people, companies, and organizational relationships, transforming scattered public information into structured intelligence you can use throughout your assessment.

Company Search: Finding Your Target Organization

Start by searching for your target company. HackFast searches professional networks and public databases to find:

• Company Information: Industry, location, size, and domain details
• Employee Discovery: Automatically finds people associated with the company
• Enrichment: Pulls professional profiles, job titles, and contact information

Once you search for a company, HackFast automatically queues individual lookups for each discovered person, enriching their profiles with professional information, social media presence, and contact details in real-time.

People Lookup: Building Comprehensive Profiles

Each person discovered gets a detailed profile containing:

• Professional Information: Current role, department, company history
• Contact Details: Email addresses, phone numbers, social profiles
• Relationships: Connections to other people in your project
• Breach Data: Associated leaked credentials and breach information
• Profile Pictures: Visual identification for social engineering

All this information is automatically saved to your project database, making it searchable and linkable throughout HackFast.

Organizational Hierarchy Builder

HackFast's hierarchy builder lets you visualize and organize the company structure:

• Department Creation: Create departments and assign people
• Drag and Drop: Build organizational charts by dragging people into departments
• Multi-Level Hierarchy: Create nested departments and reporting structures
• Visual Overview: See the entire organization at a glance
• Persistent Storage: All changes save automatically to your project

Use the hierarchy view to identify key decision-makers, map reporting structures, and plan targeted attacks based on organizational roles and relationships.

Companies View: Grouping by Organization

The Companies view automatically groups all discovered people by their employer, making it easy to:

• See all employees from a specific company
• Compare organizational structures across multiple targets
• Identify shared employees or contractors
• Plan company-wide social engineering campaigns

Practical Use Cases

Social Engineering Preparation

Build comprehensive profiles of your targets before crafting phishing emails or phone calls. Know their job titles, departments, and relationships to make your social engineering more convincing.

Targeted Attack Planning

Identify high-value targets like IT administrators, executives, or security personnel. Map their relationships to understand potential attack paths through compromised accounts.

Credential Discovery

Once you have email addresses, use HackFast's breach scanning to discover leaked credentials. The OSINT mapper automatically links breach data to people profiles, showing you which credentials might be valid.

Conclusion: Master OSINT Intelligence

OSINT mapping transforms scattered public information into actionable intelligence. HackFast automates the discovery, enrichment, and organization of people and companies, giving you the foundation for effective social engineering and targeted attacks.
