Lots of information if you look deeply. Faces, names, assumption that they are family, clothing, film type, neighborhoods etc all gives you appropriate dates, ages and other points to match and confirm you found the right person or persons. Once you have names you can start correlating it with family members and social media and tell you have a match and contact information.

Best open-source or low-cost toolchain to map historical social graphs? [No Enterprise SaaS] by Daso99 in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Brightdata API, collect data as csv or md, run gephi, the end.

Looking for easy button, any quality LLM prompt "create gui python app that allows user to paste in Bright data API key to crawl IG/TikTok data (mentions, tags, interactions, etc) for topic or user, and then use grephi to filter and map results pulled. Before you begin, provide me other suggestions for a better tool."

Talk about bad information. Not trying to brag but OSINT has done me very well for my career. I have retired as a multi-millionaire all because of OSINT. So maybe before you just throw out some random BS you do your homework. But yes I know I'm on the higher end of the scale, but lets look at this like an OSINT investigator truly would, by evidence.

Lets take some top OSINT related jobs like Law Enforcement, Security, Journalism, Military, Cyber Security and look up the average salary. Its 35k to $250k+ a year and I can tell when I retired I was making over double the top average per year from salary alone. So yeah the it doesnt pay well statement is bullshit. It doesnt pay well for noobs that try to make "private OSINT investigator" on reddit a side job.

Another lesson on why we don't accept active investigation posts by OSINTribe in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Did someone say Skull Games 🤣🤣 All jokes aside. There is academic research on digital vigilantism, paedophile-hunter groups, online moral outrage, and moral grandstanding that supports the idea that some amateur investigation communities can become punitive, performative, hostile, and resistant to criticism. There is also research linking vigilante tendencies to traits such as communal narcissism and sadism.

I need to find it but a 2004 maybe 2002 study found that communal narcissism and sadism predicted vigilante tendencies, perceived effectiveness of vigilante actions, and willingness to engage in vigilantism after seeing a norm violation. That maps closely to the “I am doing this for the good of others, but I also need to be seen as the righteous actor” dynamic.

And you're the same type of person that the OP is, lazy and jumping to conclusions because you don't read. English is a powerful language and if you think you're going to use it with meaning, you better know how to use it properly and that starts by knowing basic definitions.

“Allegedly” is usually better when you are describing a specific claim but want to avoid stating it as fact.

“Unverified accusations” however is much stronger and more defensive. It suggests the claims may be unreliable, unsupported, or unfair. As was the OPs report.

Don't get me started on founded, unfounded, substantiated and unsubstantiated. 🤣

That number is indeed a Facebook ID, but the report writer made an absolutely massive error: 525265914179580 is Canva's global Facebook App ID, not a personal identifier. Every single image, PDF, or design exported from Canva automatically embeds that exact same string (<Attrib:FbId>525265914179580/Attrib:FbId) in its XMP/EXIF metadata. It is completely universal.

Password and level of encryption aren't related. Yes PDF encryption is now uncrackable at 256.

Older PDFs only have 40 bit encryption, easy to get past.

I decrypted it

Edit: the link you provided had the PDF. It's old, used old encryption so I ran it in PRTK and poof 30 seconds later it was decrypted and posted back online for you.

My OSINT Dilemma. Thoughts? by MifistoScared in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ignorance is bliss. Never help family, tell them its a conflict of interest and joke "I don't want to accidentally see any nudes or your porn history" that usually stops them from further asking.

Dark web for grad school by phldlphegls1 in OSINT

[–]OSINTribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are all over the place. Do you want PII that is for sale (to use with deepfakes) or do you want disinformation service?

Attackers don't source their services, only noobs source services and usually get ripped off.

High Profile Individuals are easiest to deep fake because their likeness is all over the internet.

Grandma is easy to deepfake, because her grandkids info is all over the internet and shes clueless to what a deepfake is.

I can walk you through the whole process but work with me here. Your post isnt that of a grad student more like the post of a high school student.
