    Tip: In some #OSINT investigations we need to identify cars. Knowing make and models can be hard. Artificial Intelligence can help you. Try carnet.ai to identify cars.

    Tip: When looking into a ‘shady’ website you might want to Google cache view it first. Extra #opsec tip = copy the cache url, paste it in a new tab and add &strip = 1 at the end. This avoids Google loading external references and displays the text only cache #osint

    Tip: Find the email of a github user. Github user page > choose a repository > view code > click commits > click on a commit > add .patch at the end of the url. This shows email adres of github user who did the commit. Note: does not work with forked repo’s. #osint #opsec

    Tip: Since Google is shutting down Google Cache pages #OSINT investigators have a new blind spot. Luckily there are some alternative sources for historical copies of webpages: - archive.org - archive.is - cachedview.nl -theoldnet.com

    I am sharing this once more. Operations Security (#OPSEC) if often highly underestimated by online investigative journalist and #OSINT researchers. The risk are real! Some tips about OPSEC: osintcurio.us/2019/04/18/bas…

    OSINF is not OSINT #OSINF = Open-Source Information and lacks context and analysis. (Finding info) #OSINT = A structured analysis methodology to collect, proces/exploit and analyze Open-Source information that addresses an Intelligence requirement (analysis of info)
