Back at OSINT after a break (ugh, real life, real job 🙄). Just dropped my full walkthrough of @bellingcat.com's Maritime Mysteries challenge—check it out here: medium.com/@alescara/os.... Thanks for the brain workout, @bellingcat.com ! 😄

Just solved @gralhix.bsky.social 's exercise 31 ! Check out my walkthrough here: medium.com/@alescara/os... Giraffes are undeniably cool 😎, but what is even more fascinating is how nature provides us with clues. 😉 Thanks, @gralhix.bsky.social !

Over the past few days, I have been practicing with Maltego CE. It is a very interesting piece of software, useful for centralizing different tools! Thanks @maltego.bsky.social 😁 !

Feb 4, 2025: @bellingcat.com's Open Source Challenge - part 3 ! Done ✅😄 Let's have a look at the challenge "On The Metro": 1. The train is red, grey and white. With a reverse image search, I found out that it could be the Prague metro. 2. looking on Wikipedia, the Prague metro has 3 lines (A, B, C)

Feb 3, 2025: @bellingcat.com Open Source Challenge - Part 2 ! I've completed 'Natural Wonders'! 🥳 'Two Tired' was the hardest and I couldn't find it at first, but after giving it another shot on a different day, I finally succeeded (see below)

Nov 15, 2024 : I just finished @gralhix.bsky.social 's 30 OSINT exercises. Some of them were, of course, quite hard but at the same time very entertaining and instructive. Thank you very much ! 😀 (#19 I got it so wrong, it makes me laugh 😂)

As I am leaving a former - and now degenerate - social network, my first posts will be copy-pastes of my last ones, for the sake of consistency 😉

Good morning Bluesky, happy to be here 😁
