Tools to increase the efficiency of working with MAPSs in #osint (more exact #geoint)

Quick basic thread

(1/10)🧵 Image
These tools will help you measure the area of individual map sections (in square and polygon form), the radius of circle on the map, the distance between points of complex routes, etc.

(2/10) 🧵 ImageImage
And these tools will help you quickly compare how the same place looks on dozens of different online maps:

tools.geofabrik.de/mc/
OSM smart menu extension:
chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

(3/10)🧵 ImageImage
This tools for creating map-based data visualizations. They are especially useful for analyzing military battles or natural disasters.

Google maps scraper will help to find on the map all the points corresponding to the keywords in a certain city, and then export the information about them to a table.

ACSCDG allows you to mark arbitrary points on the map and then save their list together with their coordinates.

(6/10)🧵 Image
If you have a list of addresses, these tools will help you quickly convert it into a list of geographic coordinates (for later analysis with the tools from the tweets below):

geocode.localfocus.nl
ezGeocode (Google sheet addon)
workspace.google.com/u/0/marketplac…

(7/10)🧵 ImageImage
If you need to put a list of coordinates on a map, you can use the Mapping Sheets addon for Google Sheet:

workspace.google.com/u/0/marketplac…

(8/10)🧵 Image
And this tool will help to generate links (based on geographic coordinates) to view information about this place in different services (Twitter, YouTube, Shadowmap, Pastvu etc.)

This thread is end, but the topic of working with cards in #osint is endless. More tools for working with satellites, military geodata, and lots of different interesting maps can be found in my (@cyb_detective ) collection:

In the comments on my tool collection, I get asked all the time if it's there as a page on Start me.

Yes, there is such a tradition among the #osint community. But I don't plan to use Start me

Github is the best place to store any tool collection

7 reasons why I think so🧵
1. Every Github user can make a fork of the collection and modify it at will🧵

I think this opportunity is fully consistent with the ideology of the free dissemination of knowledge, which I try to follow
2. You can see all the forks in your collection and see what other users have added to their versions 🧵

Sometimes forks can have interesting ideas.

WARC (Web ARChive) for #osint and more

Quick basic guide (1/11) 🧵

(WARC - the general format for webarchiving, which is used by archive.org, the Australian Web Archive, and many other well-known Internet archives)
The WARC (Web ARChive) file format offers a convention for concatenating multiple resource records (data objects), each consisting of a set of simple text headers and an arbitrary data block into one long file (с).

More details:

iipc.github.io/warc-specifica…

🧵 (2/11)
To find the warc files (for the testing tools from the tweets below) just type in Google:

inurl:warc.gz site:archive․org

(archive.org can be replaced with the address of another archive or library. Once again, the WARC format is very widespread)
