How would you feel if a stranger in a foreign country could peer into your home and watch what you and your family were doing? What if everyone on the Internet knew what trails you bike and roads run each day? Lately it seems like more and more of our lives are being sucked into the computer world. There are wrist-sensors for tracking our steps, phone apps that plot our workouts on maps, and sites to share our healthy-eating and weight loss progress.
How hard would it be to connect a person's step-counting, GPS-tracked runs and bike rides and other info on these health sites to their real lives? Are businesses using these tracking sites for non-fitness purposes?
This talk will show weaknesses in several web applications used for health and exercise tracking and reveal [spoiler alert] using Open Source Intelligence searches and the recon-ng tool how trivial it is to find the real people behind the "private" accounts.
