Need to track stolen goods, verify insurance claims, or flag counterfeit items? Deep Research (launched 2 Feb 2025) is able to crawl FB Marketplace, forums etc. A shopping upgrade (Apr 2025) adds price/image cards too.

Discover Exposed Subdomains with Subdomain Finder A fast, reliable tool for security researchers and red teams to identify subdomains linked to any domainβ€”perfect for threat reconnaissance and surface mapping.

Subdomain Finder tool, straight forward to use, but be warned that searches are recorded in an associated Telegram Channel, where you can download a JSON file of your results. Clearly you can also search said Channel yourself for domains as an extra resource.

The latest viral ChatGPT trend is doing 'reverse location search' from photos | TechCrunch There's a somewhat concerning new trend going viral on social media: people are using ChatGPT to figure out the location shown in a photo.

Using AI for Reverse Image searching is not new to #OSINT and is not new as a #Privacy concern, OpenAI has released its newest AI models which appears to causing a little stir. GeoGuessrs out there may like it. techcrunch.com/2025/04/17/t...

This is a must read to understand that Critical Thinking should not be replaced by AI. I know that Nico @dutch_osintguy supports the use of AI in OSINT and he has done some fabulous work in this area, but I also know he is 100% right in what he says in this article.

An interesting development for #privacy enthusiasts & #OSINT practitioners who use the Vivaldi Browser. Draw backs are you need to create an account, it's limited to the the free tier. It does not protect all network traffic. I can see certain use cases.

I like this article because it emphasizes the importance of not having a, "One size fits all," approach to #OSINT #OPSEC and to think through what it is you are actually trying to achieve.

I agree with @webbreacher.com He has written more about this on LinkedIn. OSINT is a team game. It is impossible to know everything about OSINT. Always have a list of people to go to who are SMEs in certain areas. There'll be certain parts of OSINT that will suit your skills better than other parts

Yes, its a great point and with everything OSINT verification is key. The testing I did on accounts that I know something about, it was pretty accurate.

If you use the Web version of X, you will see the Grok icon on accounts. If you press that you will be presented with a summary of the account. Potentially a quick way of understanding the account and who they frequently interact with. Every bit of #OSINT helps.
