[#DailyOSINT - Day#257] Have you ever seen google search results pop up, but when you visit the link, results are not there? This may happen because results are hidden inside the cached page source code.This is a player profile inside a famous board game playing site #OSINT (1/5) 
When searching his username on google, results that include his username pop up. But when you click the link and search the page, there are no results for this username inside the page...(2/5)
Results are not there even if we search the source code of the live page. To do that, we right click and then "View page source". Then we hit Ctrl + F to search for text inside the source code. But if we click the arrow next to that google result we find the cached version (3/5)
Clicking the link, the username is again not found inside the cached page, but after inspecting the source code of the cached page and searching for the username, it is revealed! Along with it, more interesting details are revealed such as user id, date and game played. (4/5)
So next time you see a google result but nothing appears in the live page, check the cached version of the page. And if nothing appears again, then search the source code. And you most probably will find what you are looking for! (5/5) #OSINT
