Join The OSINT Curious Project team as we talk about some news and tools in #OSINT.
This week, Micah (@WebBreacher) and Christina (@ChristinaLekati) put some extra emphasis on demonstrating new tools and search techniques. They started by discussing SMART (Start Me Aggregated Resource Tool), an OSINT Start.me page parser and aggregator. Bash scripting came into the conversation shortly after and along with it, Sinwindie's (@OSINTDojo) video tutorial.
OSINT on Mastodon had it's special place on this episode, as it is a social media platform that has been growing exponentially the past few weeks. We discussed what is different from other social media platforms and shared an introductory guide on how to conduct OSINT investigations on it. We also demonstrated 3 different ways & tools one can use to find usernames and accounts on Mastodon.
Micah and Christina moved on to discuss the role cryptography can play in certain investigations and shared a blog post that acts as a useful introduction into this intersection of disciplines.
Micah demonstrated the project "Backmoji", a resource that keeps historical data on the bitmoji's someone has historically used, based on their user ID. This database can reflect changes people have made in their appearance over time.
Speaking of appearances and images, we also shared a twitter thread that lists a number of resources that help conduct and improve reverse image searches. The list does not only contain tools that conduct RIS, but also editing tools that help this process.
Thank you for joining us for another episode, we wish everyone a happy holiday season and a happy new year! See you next time!

This week, Micah (@WebBreacher) and Christina (@ChristinaLekati), are joined by Robin (@NothicEye) to talk about this month's #OSINT News & Tools.
Our conversation started by focusing on the individuals that are wishing to enter the world of open-source intelligence not only as hobbyists but also, perhaps, as professionals. We talked about our latest blog post “Five tips to get you started in OSINT” in which 5 of our OSINT Curious members are sharing one quick tip each on getting started in this space.
Thinking of the ones who would like to start a career in OSINT or look for different opportunities, we moved on to discuss a series of new interviews that were posted last month in the OSINT Jobs website. The blog/interview series is called “What hiring managers are looking for” and draws from the perspectives of 6 different hiring managers in the OSINT industry. The questions in these interviews include "how can candidates stand out right away?" and "What does the recruitment process look like in your organization?" among other, many interesting questions.
Few things can help an OSINT practitioner develop their skills and broaden their perspective more than belonging to a small or large group or community. Robin (@NothicEye) who is also one of the moderators of the OSINT Curious Discord group, was able to share with us her observations from participating in OSINT-focused groups. She points out that smaller groups of practitioners can have a wide range of benefits.
Our team then moved on to discussing Nico Deken's (@dutch_osintguy) updates on his programmable search engine for people's digital business cards and social media details.
For the Geolocation fans we shared and discussed two resources:
1. Benjamin Strick's (@BenDoBrown) YouTube videos in which he goes through different tips, techniques and tools in geolocating visual elements. Last week, Benjamin started a new video series called "Let's Geolocate"
2. A Geolocation Cheat Sheet from @TheSEINT - a pretty detailed mind map with different elements that you can investigate when you analyze an image and try to geolocate it.

This week, Micah (@WebBreacher), Christina (@ChristinaLekati), and Nico (@dutch_osintguy) talked about this month's #OSINT News, Tools and Blogs.
They started by discussing a new blog post by Theo Baxter (@T-Baxter90) on investigating violent and distressing content through an OSINT investigation. Two additional resources were recommended by our team, as complementary reading/viewing material to this very important topic. They also discussed their new OSINT Curious blog post “Find Company Data With A Programmable Search Engine”, written by @nixintel.
Micah, Christina, and Nico went on showcasing and discussing some new interesting tools, including a tool that conducts url scans, a database of landmarks, and Instagram's new map feature that allows you to view the public stories from specific locations. They also showcased how to change user agent in Chrome, using built-in features.
Last, this week's OSINT Curious team discussed some recent community projects and contributions that our listeners and viewers could find both useful and entertaining. If you did not have enough of OSINT goodness this week, head out to the videos that our team produced, in collaboration with David Bombal (details in the links below).

This week, Micah (@WebBreacher), Christina (@ChristinaLekati), and Michael James (@Ginsberg51050) talk with Alex Slotnick (@BOsintBlanc), a threat intelligence analyst and the case tracking & statistics lead for the National Child Protection Task Force.
Alex talked to us about his journey from Desktop Support to becoming an OSINT analyst, teaching himself the necessary skills to get started, and volunteering within a non-profit, which enabled him to offer the skills he had while also acquiring new ones through practical work and networking. As it turns out, getting this practical experience helped him to eventually get a corporate OSINT job too.
He also talked to us about how he handles his confidence levels when working with incomplete data, and offered practical advice on acquiring several points of verification. As a natural follow-up to this conversation was some advice on handling data that contradict a finding or an investigative conclusion.
Alex talked to us about his work at the National Child Protection Task Force, and answered multiple questions from the audience. He offered recommendations on books, tools, and offered advice on getting into OSINT.

Join The OSINT Curious Project team as we talk about some news and tools in #OSINT.
This week, Micah (@WebBreacher) and Christina (@ChristinaLekati) talked about the OSINT Conferences that will be happening within the coming months, most of which are free to attend and packed with interesting talks.
They moved on discussing & showcasing some tools starting with CCTV Mass Pirates, a map that shows the locations and certain specifications of over 160.000 cameras around the world. Some of the cameras on the map have open feeds, while another data point you may find are Mapillary keys. Mapillary is a service that is crowdsourcing geotagged photos & videos. Combined with the CCTV Mass Pirates map, these tools may prove very useful for investigations where Google StreetView is blocked or non-existent. After that, they talked about Travel Time Map, a tool that draws a travel time area on a map while giving you plenty of options to narrow down your research: travel means (bike, transportation, car, foot), date, time span, and more. These tools can be used on their own, or in combination. For that reason, we also discussed use cases.
Micah and Christina then talked about Image Extractor, a tool that allows users to download/extract all available images from a webpage. They went on highlighting OSINT Dojo as one of the useful resources in our community to practice and learn OSINT skills, but also talked about the Attack Surface Diagrams that are provided in the resources of OSINT Dojo's webpage (view links below).
Later, they discussed the new OSINT Dark Web bookmarks provided by OSINT Combined, a curated list of bookmarks including search engines, services lists, leak sites and other resources that help OSINT investigators conduct research in the dark web.
Last, they briefly discussed the two latest blog posts that were published through OSINT Curious, the team's upcoming streams and some news and activities that our OSINT Curious members have been involved in (including Rae Baker's upcoming OSINT book)!

Join The OSINT Curious Project team as we talk about some news and tools in #OSINT. This week, Micah (@WebBreacher) and Christina (@ChristinaLekati) briefly talk about the new OSINT Curious blog : "Location of an IP Address" and the dangers of relying too heavily on the geolocations that become available through IP addresses. Sector035 (@Sector035), who authored the blog, will cover this topic in more detail next week. They also talked about the Geowifi, a tool that aggregates wifi data from multiple sources, and discussed #OSINT use cases with the tool Cleanup.Pictures, a tool that is used to retouch images by removing objects, people, texts and other disturbances. Micah and Christina also talked about the role of gut feelings and hunches in OSINT as well as how they can support or hinder the intelligence analysis process. Listening to our gut feeling is important, but in intelligence analysis one needs to also be aware of their biases, and of how their past experiences might affect their gut feeling and their judgement. Last, they talked about Obsidian, a note-taking and knowledge management tool that provides many possibilities when it comes to documenting, organizing, and creating connections between data - or even their thoughts.

This week, Micah Hoffman, Christina Lekati, John TerBush, and Josh Huff talked with Nicole Beckwith (https://twitter.com/NicoleBeckwith) about mental health in OSINT investigations.
This conversation was filled with practical advice and tips that you can apply before, during and after an investigation.
We talked about the Honeycomb effect and about preparing your investigative workspace by creating as few mental anchors as possible in order to have a clear separation between investigating and the rest of your everyday life and activities.
We analyzed the H.A.L.T. technique, which refers to checking whether you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired before or during an investigation, and making sure that you take care of those needs.
We also talked about listening to your body to recognize signs of tension during an investigation and taking a step back when you recognize these signs by applying the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method: focusing on 5 things that you see, 4 things that you feel, 3 things that you hear, 2 things that you smell and 1 thing that you taste- preferably lemon water.
We finished our conversation by discussing the flip side of the coin- getting into your target's mind, establishing their baseline and finding their motives.
