Want to nail #OSINT basics: geolocation, flight tracking, hidden info, disinfo etc? Benjamin Strick published 40 videos on YouTube

[Benjamin Strick @BenDoBrown]

Hi there. Do you, a friend, colleague, or family dog, want to nail #OSINT basics: geolocation, flight tracking, hidden info, disinfo etc?

I've published 40 videos on YouTube.

Upside: they're free. Downside: my Aussie twang and choice of intro tunes. https://t.co/4ByJIuAhuZ

I built a free tool that shows how night-time lights have changed anywhere on Earth.

Here's how it works and why it's useful for monitoring conflict, disasters, development and growth. 👇

Politicians exaggerate. Organizers inflate. Media guesses. I built a free tool that does the math for you.

CrowdCounter uses the Jacobs Method — the same technique crowd scientists use — to estimate how many people are actually in a photo.
Here's how it works:

1. Select the area size
2. Upload your photo
3. Click the grid cells where people are standing
4. Choose how densely packed they are
The tool calculates the rest. With a minimum and maximum range, so you know the margin.

No app to install. No sign-up.

New investigation: when I asked chatbots for something behind a paywall, they delivered the complete story—including quotes that should have been impossible to access without paying. This isn't a bug. It's a feature https://t.co/utL6f5BE4U
