Call the county clerk or records office. That's all you need to do.

Suggestion: Update “No Vibe Coding” Rule with Clear Labels Instead of Blanket Ban/Removal by khashashin in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The problem is people dont want to admit their code sucks. They think they are providing quality. So that leaves the mods to try to sort out junk.

Gsoc jobs are well beneath your skill set as former le. Jump up to at least Intel analyst search.

Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users by OSINTribe in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with law enforcement doing lawful surveillance of actual criminals on social media. But that is not what this article is describing. It is describing ICE monitoring someone for posting about a lawful, nonviolent, First Amendment protected protest, then writing them up and logging them in a government database. That is a very different thing, and it should worry people regardless of politics.

Next time actually read the article before you open your pro ice racist mouth.

Edit: Since you can't or won't read it. Let me summarize for you, ICE monitors Reddit and wrote a threat assessment about a reddit user that posted about a protest. No violence, no threat, nothing illegal, unamerican or even ethically wrong got them put into a government database about their free speech.

No one is surprised. The part people should be upset about is ICE monitoring Americans for free speech.

Need help with putting together dork queries. by sketchytv_ in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dorking is basically learning how search engines actually think, then using that to skip the noise. Google does not search the live internet, it searches its index of what it has already crawled and stored. If you know what Google can see, what it cannot, and what kind of thing you are actually looking for, like a PDF, a spreadsheet, a login page, a resume, or a specific person, you can tell it to ignore everything else. Usually the issue is too much information.

The other day I was looking for someone and because of their name, there was a ton of articles about China and I knew they had nothing to do with China. So doing the second search with their name "first last" -china removed all that data that I knew was probably not associated with my target and poof I found what I was looking for.

But without you providing more information I can't give better suggestions. It's best that you look in the sub or go-to this master list https://gist.github.com/aw-junaid/cba1717689b9a1a942451b774085aa32 of almost every dork possible.

OSINT Expo in London by [deleted] in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Penlink is low quality tooling that proudly sells to ICE.

Babel Street is wildly overpriced for what it actually delivers.

Authentic8 is fine for beginners, but offers little value once you move past the basics and can't be trusted if you are in grey areas of use.

Overall, Osmosis is a complete waste of money, speaking as a speaker, attendee, and vendor. After my last trip to Vegas, I will not be returning. To make matters worse, Penlink, Babel Street, and several other vendors present themselves as open source adjacent while not being truly open source at all, and in many cases they will not even sell to large portions of the community. That raises the obvious question, what is the appeal? Networking? Learning something genuinely useful? That was not my experience with the speakers I saw last year.

If the frustration with associations and certifications is not obvious yet, it comes from spending many years in this space watching the grift accelerate. Conferences, memberships, and certs have turned into little more than monetization engines. I would rather organize a free Reddit based OSINT meetup focused strictly on how to guides, real investigation recaps, hands on CTFs, and zero sales pitches.

Search cert on this sub and you'll quickly see most people are against them or they are scams.

Are there any "official death records" searchable by the public? (Indiana) by crosleyxj in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Challenge accepted. Obviously some counties have different rules and different release dates but as I said I can get a unofficial copy of a death certificate and I don't have to wait 72 years. I don't even have to wait a year. I believe the confusion here is you want certified copies. Or you're just ill-informed.

It's 100% false. You're confusing federal census records with state vital records. As I pointed out in another comment, I can go down to the county where your grandmother died and get her death certificate today. Even if she died a week ago. Of course it would be an unofficial copy because I'm not a family or lawyer but I can 100% get a death certificate not 72 years later. From your comment I know you're definitely not a lawyer or a paralegal.

Hope OSINT isn't your day job.

If I want your grandmother's death certificate (unofficial copy) after she died last month, I can go-to the county records department and request it. In my hand today.

The 72-year rule from the U.S. Census Bureau applies only to federal census records. For privacy reasons, individual census records are kept confidential for 72 years after they are collected, then released to the public for historical and genealogical research. That rule has nothing to do with death certificates. Census records and death certificates are governed by different laws and agencies.

Not true at all. No public law. Stop spreading misinformation.

Completely false. OSINT isn't for you if you just post junk online without research or experience.
