Services for fact checking (e.g the authenticity of photos) and gathering information about events that took place several years or even decades ago.

(this is not a complete guide, just some examples)

Thread🧵🧵🧵

To find out what a certain place looked like in different periods, try searching for pictures of it on a map at pastvu.com. There you can find pictures and drawings (!) from 1826 to 2000.

(Keep in mind that the data from that site needs to be verified, too).

Don't forget that on Google Maps (yandex.ru/maps/) and Yandex Maps (yandex.ru/maps/), you can see panoramas of streets in a particular location for different years.

Historical satellite imagery (there is even data from the 1980s for some points). The site contains images from dozens of different sources.

To answer this question, I will create a small thread🧵

#python #youtube #osint
1. Get a list of video URLs

pip install youtube_search

Create file searchyoutube.py:

from youtube_search import YoutubeSearch
results = YoutubeSearch('osint', max_results=25).to_dict()
for v in results:
print('youtube.com' + v['url_suffix'])
Look at the indentation in the picture above (this is important), replace "osint" with your keyword and run the script:

python searchyoutube.py

Now there are 550 of them (22 categories, 38 subcategories).

In honor of this event, I will do a thread🧵 in which I will talk about all my collections, lists, and other projects related to osint.

What technologies should every #OSINT professional know? Python? Basic Linux terminal skills? Maltego?

Lots of things...

But I think it's definitely worth actively using advanced search operators at ALL STAGES of work.

7 types of advanced search operators. Thread🧵
Let's start with productivity issues.

Type 1

Search operators for mailbox
(#Gmail, #Outlook, #Yahoo, #Yandex)

for quick filtering emails by date, recipient name, attachment type and size, filename and other parameters.

(All links to the docs are at the end of the thread)
Type 2

Search operators for cloud storages
(#GoogleDrive)

Help quickly navigate through files and sort them by owner name, type, creation date, words in title etc.
