I just did a couple of updates and I haven't talked about it in a while so may I please do a quick thread on my web site MegaGladys ( https://megagladys.com/ )?
It's a set of eight tools made for getting information on people with #Wikipedia pages. Useful for #OSINT, #journalism, etc. Free, no ads.
Just saw someone post this online, and chuckled at their misguided attempt to hide their information. (barcode underneath your address can be used to precisely geolocate your address) #privacy#postage#barcode#cybersecurity#osint
Since February 2022 grain exports from occupied Crimea have skyrocketed; it's widely assumed this is coming from newly occupied territories of #ukraine. A 'shadow fleet' exports it to Russia's partners around the world.
Despite attempts to hide, open source information can still reveal a great deal about these voyages.
In this case, we tracked two large cargo ships — new additions to the 'ghost fleet' — from Sevastopol to #Iran at every step of the way.
small #OSINT tidbit: add inurl:"Special:AllPages" to search through instances of MediaWiki (the framework behind Wikipedia) that have a public page listing all the pages on the wiki
cc @sector035 & @cyb_detective - maybe this is interesting to your audiences?
À #VIGINUM, nous avons pour mission de détecter et caractériser les manipulations de l'information impliquant des acteurs étrangers dans le débat public français.
Nous recrutons un•e développeur•se fullstack pour renforcer le pôle technique. Au programme, pas mal de #scraping et de collecte de données mais aussi développement d'outils en interne.
We've heard Twitter used to be the go-to place for the OSINT community, but not since Musk took over. Is that true? 👀 Do you find Mastodon better or worse than Twitter for #OSINT research? What are your thoughts on other platforms?
