In this thread🧵, I'll talk in detail about how I should have solved this #osint video challenge.

1. Assume that the inscription on the scoreboard is made in Russian was based on the first clue ("Worldwide OSINT Tools Map can help you").

cipher387.github.io/osintmap/ Here it's possible to find "cyb_detective_town" and find out where I live approximately.
2. Using the virtual Russian keyboard we type the text on the scoreboard:

"следующая остановка Протасово Маршрут 35"

I've done many tweets about #python tools created by @rly0nheart (20 years old guy from #Zambia). Oxdork, TheDevilsEye, Occli, TheLordsEye, Thorndyke.

The amazing thing is that he is a programmer who HAS NO COMPUTER. He use only Android smartphone, Termux and Pydroid3🧵

History #OSINT

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🧵🧵🧵

(1/14)
(2/14)

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).
(3/14)

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.
