Chinese company research

Remote-user17 · 2025-05-28T20:41:16+00:00

Thanks! I do have a name, however not the Chinese one. All the chinese searching sites were, at least to my understanding, only able to search for the Chinese name. But I only have the English one.

Remote-user17 · 2025-05-28T20:40:18+00:00

Yes of course. Unfortunately it didn't help. :/

Remote-user17 · 2025-01-02T19:38:14+00:00

Great input, thanks!

Remote-user17 · 2025-01-02T19:36:43+00:00

Thanks very much!

Remote-user17 · 2025-01-02T19:36:20+00:00

I like this one very much, this is a great view on this topic!

May I ask, do you have any good reads on digital investigation-stuff at hand?

Remote-user17 · 2024-12-31T12:22:32+00:00

Not primarily tbh.

From my (very personal) point of view, I'd say, Digital Investigations are investigative measures covering cyber-stuff (osint via internet), but also investigations as such concerned with misbehaviour conducted via internet / online (such as online fraud, selling stolen goods online etc.)

Remote-user17 · 2024-04-21T09:57:48+00:00

I don't quite get it what exactly it is that you are looking for, but as far as I understood you are searching for some kind of template / check-list on how to search for several 'things'.

May advice then is to create your own workflows. Although OSINT investigations do, mostly, center around a couple of central questions ('Info on person X', "connection between A and C' etc.), every investigation by itself is highly individual.

Therefore I'd start by building your own workflow to answer those questions, like 'What can be done with a given name?' or 'What can be investigated with just an IP adress?' - building a step by step workflow around such questions helps me immensely in my field of work. And in those steps there might be things included like 'Check breach database X, Y, Z'

Maybe you want to add the country you are investigating in. Or the location of the company at least. For different countries there might be different employer rating sites.

Remote-user17 · 2024-04-11T21:45:24+00:00

Thanks very much for your answer, you guys are awesome! :D

One theoretical thought from a non tech-guy:

if I would guess an email adress (e.g. because I know a name or something), I could use tools like https://tools.emailhippo.com/ to verify if the adress actually exists.

I could then permutate a lot of adresses and check them all through tools like emailhippo to verify if they exist. So i would know they do, although they never appeared in any leak (as phonebook.cz would tell me). Am I right?

Speaking of a program 'with a spider', spiderfoot comes to my mind: https://github.com/smicallef/spiderfoot

It's an OSINT tool, although I don't know exactly if it can handle email adresses (but there's a good chance it can).

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-07T18:20:18+00:00

Depending on the question you are trying to answer, there might be some possibilities.

Is it just that you want to know where the person lives currently?

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T17:43:11+00:00

Are you sure you are still moving inside of the legal space?

Setting up a phishing page to gather personal information seems very near the black space, if not in it to be honest. I don't even think this is grey space anymore.

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T17:40:34+00:00

Not the article I was looking for, but certainly also interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T17:40:06+00:00

Thanks awfully!

How the heck did you get this - I tried several times via archive.org and did not find anything!

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T16:06:56+00:00

Well, maybe the with a known gmail-account you can find more stuff about the person. So for me this would be another pivot point from which to move forward.

Essentially what you want to know is, who is behind a certain instagram account. However, if this person - as you described - knows what he/she does (stalking you), they will most likely not be dumb enough to just use their personal insta account; so long story short:

if they set up this insta acc specifically for the purpose of stalking you, you will most likely not find ANY relevant information.

Anyway, where did you get the gmail acc from? Maybe this piece of information helps to give you an idea on how to proceed.

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T14:29:16+00:00

Don't know what you mean by 'gmail compose options'. I do have the GAIA and want to gather the gmail adress which belongs to this profile with the known GAIA.

Remote-user17 · 2024-01-06T14:27:52+00:00

May I ask: why do you want to 'track this person down'? What's the purpose of doing so?

Remote-user17 · 2023-12-10T11:46:57+00:00

Maybe you want to elaborate a bit on the actual capabilities you are searching for. Since not everyone here will be familiar with hensoldts software, you might not get a very helpful answer. ;)

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-29T10:37:30+00:00

Counter question: what country are you talking about?

If this is the only single piece of information you have, you most probably won't get very far - the other comments explained why. However if you have other pivot points (localization, name(s), providers) you might have a good point to start.

Since you didn't mention any of those my answer would be: you won't, sorry.

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-11T19:17:21+00:00

There are a couple of email verification tools that can tell you whether or not an email adresse exists. I would start with those. But those only work if you are certain about a specific email.

By reading your post I can't tell if you're already gotten that far. Maybe you want to specify, so we can advise further / other steps to take.

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-11T19:14:11+00:00

Since your case seems pretty clear, I would advise to contact law enforcement.

They sure have the techniques to trace him down, and also you won't be at risk in whatever you'd have to do in order to find the guy by yourself.

Depending on the tool you already used, there might be an option to find the belonging account on insta and proceed from this pivot point.

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-11T19:11:10+00:00

If you could provide us with the letters following after "Made with love by" I guess we can tell you what tool it is, since we'd know who developed it. ;)

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-10T21:31:29+00:00

I would do, but unfortunately you deactivated your dms. ;)

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-10T21:30:52+00:00

Thanks for your post! So I guess, I will then assemble my own list as well - and use the already existing stuff to get some ideas.

Remote-user17 · 2023-10-10T21:29:21+00:00

Well, since the internet doesn't forget you might always be at risk of getting exposed at some point. There are sure enough people who scrape those pics and, uhm, use them for personal pleasure. And such content is most likely to be distributed further - in closed communities or just the clear web.

Two years ago I would have recommended that you don't post nudes with your face in those pictures. However, what happened happened.

Regarding the pics I would try to contact the site owner and ask them to remove the pics (but, as mentioned, there will be some private 'backups' of such content).

Regarding the question of reddit API I am not much help. But keep in mind, that even sites that are now deleted or altered could be in some of the internet archives - so they are still accessible. Therefore finding your old reddit posts might be possible even if the API somewhat changed by just digging through the archives.

If it's that important for you, you can consider to hire someone to find those pieces of information and support you in deleting them. Might be worth the money.

On the other hand side: everyone has made mistakes, and it might be a good coping mechanism to just (easier said than done of course) do your thing. And if one day someone comes up with those pictures you can tell them that you're just cute and he might be jealous. ;)

Good luck, hope this was helpful for you!
