8 types of government open databases that many countries have and that will be useful to investigate.
Each link is just an example. In the last tweet I will tell how to find government resources for a particular country.

Business Registries
On these sites you can find out by person's name the companies that belong to him, addresses, phone numbers, occupation, etc (data set varies by country).
Such maps show the boundaries of the land plot, information about its owners (individual, legal entity, state) and cadastral number (for which you can find additional information about target in other sources).
On such sites, you can find records of various situations in a person's life that required court intervention (criminal offenses, administrative violations, financial disputes, etc.).
Professional license databases may contain detailed information about a person's education and work experience. And in some cases there are photos and contact information.
Sometimes voting data is published (or is accidentally leaked). It contains person's full name, date of birth, and address (or the address of the nearest polling station)
Investigators sometimes have to deal with images of documents (passports, driver's licenses). This type of services check their authenticity (and sometimes provide extra information).
All of the links above are just examples, that will help you find your personal additional sources of information. More than 600 links to #osint resources specific to different countries can be found here:

Is it possible to use neural networks to create a whole series of photos of one person for a fake social network profile ("sock puppet")?
I show by examples the possible way of solving the problem (this is not an easy way ).
🧵🧵🧵
In order to successfully pretend to be another person on the Internet, you need a series of photos in different places and different clothes. But it's a lot of work to make these (even with AI).
But often this leads to poor quality results. But for some situations it is quite good.

It is better to extract text from a presentation so you can translate it later with more advanced translators. This can be done with the help of these services:
