Process and analysis
What is Pivoting?
Using one piece of data to find related data, for example from a domain to its IP, then to other domains on that IP.
Pivoting is moving from one data point to related ones: from a domain to its IP address, from that IP to other domains, from a certificate to sibling sites, from an email address to other accounts. Each step widens the picture of an operator's infrastructure or identity.
Good pivoting is disciplined. Shared hosting, CDNs and common services link unrelated things, so each pivot needs a reason to believe the connection is meaningful, and every step should be recorded.
