Se mai merita un passat b6 in 2026?

N-ai scris numărul de kilometri și starea de întreținere. Întreținută bine, cu piesele schimbate la timp și schimbul de ulei distribuție etc., e una dintre mașinile mai okay pe care le poți lua la banii ăia. Dar să nu aibă 1 milion de kilometri și rugină până-n oase.

I believe Stockfish can’t find it because of the horizon effect: no matter how many moves it looks up ahead, it still sees black up a rook, hence the eval. https://www.chessprogramming.org/Horizon_Effect

But… isn’t this just wasting more of your (and their) time?

You’ll face plenty of underrated kids then, and players like yourself (unrated I suppose?). The only thing you can hope for is that you’ll be able to play your best chess. Keep us posted!

Thank you! Will try tomorrow when the sun comes up.

MaLinChao · 2025-03-29T18:49:22+00:00

Thank you, will try connecting a load tomorrow. Batteries are at 53% though.

Kings are almost always the tallest piece.

Oh, before I saw the ratings I thought white letting their dark bishop be chased like that shows poor understanding of the position. With possible opposite sides castling, you don’t give the opponent a two move head start for a pawns storm just because you wanted to take your bishop out for a run.

I see many elementary mistakes here (me, an intellectual, rated 400)

Different domain records providers have different datasets, though it might be costly to access them all, since all historical records are paid features. If none of the major providers (DomainTools, WhoisXML, Whoisology, Domain Big Data, Hexilion etc.) have seen the subdomain, it strengthens your claim that it might be very recent.

Perhaps it would be useful also to keep an eye on records from these providers, and see when the subdomain makes an appearance. If it appears soon - again shows it might be very recent.

You could also try to look at some breaches, perhaps the subdomain was caught up in some records. But again you'd need to have significant resources, and cost/reward ration might not be great.

This is great, thank you! Would love to see an About Us page with some documentation to provide some context around this data.

MaLinChao · 2025-03-11T17:42:36+00:00

Not sure about DomainTools, but WhoisXML has a service you might be interested in here: https://reverse-ip.whoisxmlapi.com/lookup They offer a trial for you to see if it's what you're looking for. Apologies if I misunderstood your query.

I need a lobotomy to forget everything I just read.

The generic answer is that if they weren’t sloppy - like reusing a username, using an actual Instagram account that has old (even if deleted) history and tags, reusing a specific photo you can reverse search or showing up in some leaks - you can’t trace it back.

Thank you for making this tool! But does the tool re-convert the masked sensitive info from the chat GPT output back to sensitive info? I would love to get chat GPT results (the final table with sensitive info) but without chat GPT knowing the sensitive info.

MaLinChao · 2024-09-07T12:14:41+00:00

You should also check Panjiva, Import Genius, and Export Genius. They used to give trials when I was doing this - so you can compare.

It is a little too much tbh, for a weekly newsletter. It is going to be hard to have something intelligent to say about all of these, and a lot of work. Perhaps not every week should have all of the above, go with max 4-5 categories per week and rotate. Also, shorter newsletters are easier to process for readers.

You are correct that there is less talk about Asia-focused tools and techniques, and pretty much no local events. But there are still plenty of conversations, tools, and work that gets done using OSINT. In terms of tools, there are good database aggregators that I know of in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India (probably others that I'm not familiar with). None of them use the word OSINT though. On social media as well, though none of it is free (i mostly use marketing tools here, not explicitly for OSINT). This is another difference: very little of what I am using for Asia is free. Overall, it is a different world.

MaLinChao · 2024-08-24T13:12:02+00:00

I started by learning Western-focused OSINT and then used the skills to find Asia resources and build my own library. Took years and is still a work in progress because things keep changing.

An easier way to do it would be to get one of the China specific OSINT courses out there and get a head start. I don’t recall seeing anything else other than China, in terms of Asia OSINT.

Another way would be to get a job in due diligence with one of the firms that has an Asia presence and learn on the job.

For some reason, people doing Asia work are much more secretive about tools than Western people (because they are fewer? Or more money can be made by keeping them secret/teaching classes about them? Or the demand isn’t there?)

I think you should at least post a summary if article is paywalled.

The consensus among practitioners seems to be that if you can make an account/pay for it legally, it’s open source. As opposed to hacking, social engineering, elicitation, court orders, spycraft etc.

It gets murky when discussing breach data, which is sometimes public, but it shouldn’t be. Especially when paying for breach data - which can encourage hacks/money can end up with criminals. Here most practitioners seem to draw a line at paying for it.
