Thank you !!!
Let’s Start !!!

✯ Introduction ✯

1) OSINT Overview :

OSINT stands for “Open Source Intellangent”, is the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources, including social media, websites, images, organization, person, network and from many more, which is present on open source.

✯ Use of OSINT ✯
OSINT involves using publicly available information from social media, websites, and news articles to gather information about an individual or organization. This information can then be used to identify vulnerabilities and plan attacks. OSINT is regularly utilized by intelligence communities, as well as national security teams and law enforcement to protect organizations and society from threats of all kinds. Publicly available information is perfectly legal to access, analyze and distribute.

Geotag
☛ Google “My Photo Map”

Get the image information by just RIGHT CLICK > PROPORTIES

☟ Here are some tips to get real location of any image. ☟

  1. Reverse image search method.
  2. Search about text, which is showing into the image.
  3. Search about other things which are background of that target image.
  4. Remove.bg can remove the image background, (use if you need)
  5. Cleanup.picture is a tool, where you can remove the any perticular object from image

Here are some tools and techniques to get password using OSINT method.

  1. Data breach search websites: Websites like “Have I Been Pwned” or “BreachAlarm” allow you to check if your email or username appears in known data breaches. You can search some other hacking forum sites.
  2. Social Engineering: Gathering information about the target (such as their interests, family members, pets, etc.) from social media or other public sources to create educated guesses for passwords.
  3. Leaked Databases: Searching for any past data breaches or password leaks that might include the target’s password.

  7. Default Password: Sometimes OR you can say most of the time user
    does not change default password of there machine,and hackers could take the adventage of it.
    Here are some default password website and tools which will use for dictionary and bruteforce attack.
