And another tip!
When you have a Google Drive link, open the source code and search for: "\x2210" and "\x2211" and find the userID.
Paste it in the Google Photos or Maps URL and find out more about your target.

Years in the making, but finally it's online. A lengthy (!) article about chronolocation. An extensive guide from the basics, to how to measure shadows! This guide is far from complete, and will be update when I have time to write more.

It is time to release the 2020 OSINT Quiz!
This time there won't be anything way too difficult. So if you are just starting out in this field of expertise, or you have colleagues that could use some practice, make sure to send them this info ๐
I have a small surprise! Now I finally have some more time, I was reminded today that I really, REALLY should've shared some new tips and tricks when it comes to Google id's...
So here it is, part II of my journey into the abyss called Google accounts!
After the 1st

peeps have looked at Google Earth Pro, and investigated with it. And for the same amount of time, people have used the slider bar to select specific dates, or used the date shown on the bottom of the screen (me included). But this is not the capture date! ๐
Instagram now forced people to log in after you have been browsing a couple of images. But of course there is a way around. But how do you get around this if you don't want to use a sock puppet? A little thread ๐ for the

Extra Mastodon
#OSINT
tip for today!
Don't forget to check the JSON or RSS output, because you might never know what is hidden in there! Simply adding .json or .rss to some URLs is enough.

Instagram changed the source code. To browse anonymously, a new uBlock filter is:

Good morning
#OSINT
peeps!
I've been extremely busy for some time now, and there will be NO Week in
#OSINT
today or next Monday!
I do have a personal episode though, to celebrate the 5 year anniversary, and to thank all of you for your support.
December 21 last year I created an
#OSINT
challenge, based on
#geolocation
, social media, open sources and some extra puzzles. Only one person solved all stages so far! Feel up to the challenge? Just email the subject "start" to forensicquiz2017
@gmail
.com Good luck!
I've been way too busy again, so today there's no Week in
#OSINT
, but something slightly different.
I chose to share some of my favourite podcasts in the world of cybersecurity and OSINT.
Just updated the blog and added another technique to grab user information from a Google Drive. No clue how I missed this, but I've been busy so I'm excused ๐
Thanks to
@djnemec
that gave this awesome tip! It's easy, requires no skills and can be done anonymously!

Don't use v3 since that returns hardly any information nowadays ๐
Finly been busy playing around more with
@obsdmd
by loading the 60 Sherlock Holmes stories in it, and scripted the tagging of more than 320 people, locations, newspapers, etc. I love how you can easily create graphs with it, the mardown format, and all the awesome plugins!
