It was a pleasure to appear on Open Secret with Micah @webbreacher.com, @osintcombine.bsky.social's Jane van Tienen & Kat to talk about #OSINT & #neurodiversity, My aim is to inspire organisations, individuals to explore the benefits of neurodiversity & inclusion www.osintcombine.com/oc-podcast-s...

Starting out in #OSINT, Ritu at @osinttechniques.bsky.social has some very good knowledge and insights to share with you.

@osintcombine.bsky.social are always pushing the boundaries of using AI for OSINT tasks. I have also included an article on on how Deep Research works techviral.net/chatgpt-deep...

Need to track stolen goods, verify insurance claims, or flag counterfeit items? Deep Research (launched 2 Feb 2025) is able to crawl FB Marketplace, forums etc. A shopping upgrade (Apr 2025) adds price/image cards too.

Just updated the bookmark stack—namely the crypto folder—broken links removed, new explorers added plus a few more AI tools. The full curated list covers everything from verification to IP lookups. Link below.

Lets hope more follow @signal.org lead. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Subdomain Finder tool, straight forward to use, but be warned that searches are recorded in an associated Telegram Channel, where you can download a JSON file of your results. Clearly you can also search said Channel yourself for domains as an extra resource. darkwebinformer.com/subdomain-fi...

Using AI for Reverse Image searching is not new to #OSINT and is not new as a #Privacy concern, OpenAI has released its newest AI models which appears to causing a little stir. GeoGuessrs out there may like it. techcrunch.com/2025/04/17/t...

It looks like @myosinttrainer has an upcoming free #OSINT session on the 23/04. www.youtube.com/@myosinttrai...

Some people collect coins, I collect search engines useful for #privacy #osint #opsec github.com/The-Osint-To...

This is a must read to understand that Critical Thinking should not be replaced by AI. I know that Nico @dutch_osintguy supports the use of AI in OSINT and he has done some fabulous work in this area, but I also know he is 100% right in what he says in this article.

Watching the NatGeo doc on the excellent @bellingcat.com #OSINT investigation into the downing of MH17. The OSINT takeaway was these 3 elements that are sometimes not appreciated, Time, Collaboration & Tenacity, without these the outcome would have been different. www.natgeotv.com/uk/shows/nat...

An interesting development for #privacy enthusiasts & #OSINT practitioners who use the Vivaldi Browser. Draw backs are you need to create an account, it's limited to the the free tier. It does not protect all network traffic. I can see certain use cases. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/softwar...

Investigating email addresses is a key OSINT skill. From finding linked accounts to data breaches, each search can lead to new insights. Learn to investigate emails effectively while keeping OPSEC in mind, in our latest blog: www.osintcombine.com/post/investi... #osint #investigations #OPSEC

I want to add my support for International Women’s Day 2025. Some of the most talented OSINT Investigators that I have worked with or know within the OSINT Community, are women. #IWD2025 #WomenInOSINT www.internationalwomensday.com

Would you like to use GHunt but find installing it difficult or you don't want to pay for a service that uses it. There are free alternatives you can use for your GMail #OSINT investigations: - osint.rocks gmail-osint.activetk.jp

What a splendid and exciting opportunity. This epitomizes what it means to do, #OSINT-For-Good and to help Micah @webbreacher.com and the team at @NCPTF8

I like this article because it emphasizes the importance of not having a, "One size fits all," approach to #OSINT #OPSEC and to think through what it is you are actually trying to achieve. www.linkedin.com/pulse/osint-...

Two very similar ways to view X without an account, to help with your #OSINT investigations. twstalker.com www.sotwe.com

I agree with @webbreacher.com He has written more about this on LinkedIn. OSINT is a team game. It is impossible to know everything about OSINT. Always have a list of people to go to who are SMEs in certain areas. There'll be certain parts of OSINT that will suit your skills better than other parts

New #Android 'Identity Check' feature is rolling out, to secure your Google Pixel running Android 15 and Samsung Galaxy phones running One UI 7. FYI not currently on the test devices I have, in the UK. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

If you use the Web version of X, you will see the Grok icon on accounts. If you press that you will be presented with a summary of the account. Potentially a quick way of understanding the account and who they frequently interact with. Every bit of #OSINT helps.

It's time for the #Thursdayquiz! Can anyone find out where in the UK this is? 🤝 Reply all = collaboration 👇 Reply in thread = answers 🔃 Retweet = invite others...

A #privacy focused front end for TikTok, for #OSINT a potential #OPSEC way of viewing TikTok. sticktock.com

Apple iOS 18.1 auto enrolls you into Enhanced Visual Search, a Reverse Image search of your own photos, if you like. I can see some potential #OSINT use for it but also some #privacy issues too. To switch it off:- Settings:- Apps Photos Scroll to the bottom and toggle off Enhanced Visual Search.

Since 2017, the @quiztime.bsky.social-crew has sent out hundreds of geolocation and verification challenges via social media. I spent some time creating a GeoGuessr map, where you have the chance to visit some of the locations that featured in our quizzes!

This empathises the point I made in my recent blog post, It's not about having nothing to hide, it's about protecting what we have. cybersecuritynews.com/hackers-alle...

Happy New Year everyone and all the best for 2025. I have just posted a new blog for the New Year, #Privacy, A Reality Check. It's a New Year, let's have a Privacy Reality Check and understand what Privacy means to everyone not just Privacy Advocates. www.cqcore.uk/privacy-a-re...

Business #OSINT Top Tip. Linko(.)page, vCard(.)link, lnk(.)bio, & Link(.)me are services that allow companies or individuals to host their vCard's (Business Cards) or other social media details. Try Google dorking, with site: and username or keyword.

It appears that if criminals cannot steal your identity for KYC verification they'll pay you for it. If you are are thinking of doing this, don't! Short term financial gain means long term financial pain. www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

Maybe one for helping with #OSINT Sock Puppet creation on LinkedIn. Caveat - I haven't tested it. github.com/DoingFedTime...

If you are using Private Space on #Android 15, you may want to change this setting: - Long hold on a free area of your Home screen. :Customise (or Home settings) :Suggestions :Untick - Suggestions in all app list. No point having App suggestions from your Private Space on show.

The holiday season is fast approaching and I want to wish everyone in the OSINT & Privacy communities a Merry Christmas. If you do not celebrate Christmas, I would still like to wish you all the best as the old year ends and a new one dawns.

People ask me, what is breached data. I do follow breaches as they are reported. If you want to learn more then this article is for you by @eff.org . It is a bit lengthy but worth the read. It talks about age verification (Which i support) and the risks that that poses to your data.

I picked this up from the Privacy community but is does have a relevance for #OSINT too, especially if you are just starting out and learning your #opsec trade-craft. www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/ac...

Okay. I'm not overly concerned about the Marshmallows, but I'm to see how this could help from an #OSINT pivot perspective. Brave Search’s Answer with AI summaries give users a seamless way to ask follow-up questions on their queries. brave.com/blog/brave-s...
