00:01.220 --> 00:07.790
In this video, I want to briefly go over crossing the Line or ethical and legal boundaries.

00:08.810 --> 00:13.100
Now, it's important to remember as investigators, we are not criminals.

00:13.100 --> 00:16.520
We're not, uh, malicious hackers.

00:16.610 --> 00:24.830
Malicious hackers will use Osint, or they commonly referred to as reconnaissance, which is the first

00:24.830 --> 00:28.250
phase of hacking to collect information.

00:28.280 --> 00:35.630
Now, the method that that a hacker will use, a malicious hacker will use is they may do a phishing

00:35.630 --> 00:41.690
attack, they may do a phishing attack, they may may put a virus out there to start collecting information.

00:41.690 --> 00:45.860
They may do illegal scanning on a network to collect information.

00:47.040 --> 00:51.030
As investigators, we need to abide by the local laws.

00:51.030 --> 01:00.960
Every city, state, county and country will have their own laws pertaining to, uh, collection of

01:00.960 --> 01:05.940
information and, uh, uses of computers and whatnot.

01:05.940 --> 01:10.920
You want to make sure that your that what you're doing, how you're going about your investigation.

01:11.830 --> 01:14.500
Stays within the confines of the law.

01:14.920 --> 01:21.340
Also, we want to make sure that we also keeping with the guidelines of whatever company we're working

01:21.340 --> 01:24.400
for or whoever our client is, even if.

01:25.460 --> 01:28.850
What we're doing does not break any laws.

01:29.980 --> 01:35.290
The our client or our company may have their own set of rules that we need to follow and make sure that

01:35.290 --> 01:37.060
we're abiding by.

01:38.020 --> 01:45.580
Now, if we fail to comply with these laws or these guidelines, we may breach our contract.

01:45.580 --> 01:50.380
We may lose our job or the client, or we could be fined or even jailed.

01:50.380 --> 01:54.520
So definitely don't want that to happen.

01:55.230 --> 02:01.140
And also if we illegally or improperly collect data.

02:02.060 --> 02:02.510
Um.

02:03.530 --> 02:08.000
If this is being used in a legal case, that evidence could potentially be thrown out because it would

02:08.000 --> 02:09.080
be considered tainted.

02:09.080 --> 02:14.060
So again, we need to make sure that we follow certain guidelines.

02:15.080 --> 02:21.200
And it's important to again, make sure that you know what your local laws are.

02:21.200 --> 02:26.210
And typically in open source intelligence gathering.

02:26.750 --> 02:26.960
Um.

02:27.970 --> 02:33.910
We're not trying to reset passwords, things like that, of that nature.

02:33.910 --> 02:39.940
Again, we have to make sure that we that we do everything by the book, that everything is legal in

02:39.940 --> 02:48.400
order to make sure that, again, we don't get ourselves in trouble and ultimately get that evidence

02:48.400 --> 02:49.120
tainted.

02:49.120 --> 02:53.770
So again, this was about legal and ethical boundaries.

02:53.770 --> 02:55.030
Thank you for watching.

02:55.030 --> 02:56.200
I'll see you in the next video.
