Sort of off topic question. But how would you get into the type of work that uses this tool? I've always thought this type of work would be interesting, but I have no ideas where to start. What are the job titles? Fraud Analyst? Thanks!

Titles vary greatly but the general domain is information security and cyber security. Here is a good primary of basic qualifications and duties for a given role (Generic, not tuned to a specific company) - https://www.cyberseek.org/pathway.html

This type of information (OSINT of vulns/cves, proof of concepts) is useful for the Blue team side of defending against attackers. With easy to access information in a timely manner, the defenders can proactively put roadblocks and alerts into place for vulnerabilities as opposes to AFTER they are popped/hacked by such.

Prevention is ideal; detection, a must.

There's no getting into anything you haven't already been doing 6+ years right now.
I love it! We’ve seen the job title change a bit depending on the sector but can be under fraud analyst, threat intel analyst, risk analyst, financial crime analyst, sometimes trust and safety teams.
