The OSINT Investigator

Professional investigator turned law student. Still tweet about investigations when I’m not doing my readings. Would play Matt Damon in OSINT’s 11.

Despite years of researching QAnon online, this is my first time attending even a QAnon adjacent event.

Saw that the FBI, CNN, and a BBC reporter could not figure out what ⬆ ➡ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ meant. It's clearly a reference to calling in the Eagle 500kg bomb in the video game Helldivers 2. While a simple Google search would reveal this information, is no one at the FBI a gamer?

@GWKaiser Her priorities are exactly right.

Young Thug was encouraging law students to become defense lawyers and not prosecutors 😂 😂

I should be allowed to talk shit about the prosecutor at a pretrial conference like we’re boxers

This is why good and smart #OSINT practitioners look beyond page one of any search engine it’s results. And also this why you need to learn how to “Google dork”.

Great story on what we can call “accidental OSINT” hidden gem found: https://t.co/Sm00QjzAhe

By far the best investigative resource I have ever used. Sad to see that piracy is harming @IntelTechniques. The book set is so cheap and it supports great work.

as someone who has intentionally sought out & consumed extremist content for years now, i am so worried about the fact that stuff i used to have to dig around in the dark corners for is just mixed in with the content we’re all consuming on a day to day basis.

I do wonder how Cellebrite would work with a GrapheneOS phone.

My long covid is weird too. I thought it was chest and lung issues because I had trouble breathing (my chest would get tight). I had “exercise intolerance” and inhalers were only marginally helpful.

Turns out long covid can fuck your red blood cell count.

It won’t last. It never does.

“Trawling through some company documents to find my first lead” is every investigator’s middle name.

Newsguard clocked a surge in QAnon catchphrases on Twitter since Musk's takeover. I used a similar methodology to have a similar look years ago and saw a decline. Wild to see it arc in the other direction considering the state of that movement overall.

I've done live fact-checking during breaking news events for years.

But the sheer volume of viral misinformation today regarding Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crash posted by fake osint accounts and blue tick grifters for engagement has been something to behold.

Here's the thing, Endgame was a conclusion. It was a finale after years of build up and interconnected plots, I saw nearly every single Marvel movie in theatres, and it felt like a natural, conclusive ending for the MCU. It ended. Like some sort of endgame.

Then it kept going...

Google dorks continue to surprise me with their #osint usefulness.

Taylor Swift gets a Grammy, love, and a #SuperBowl victory all in the same year.

The @nytimes visual investigations team puts on a CLINIC on how to do #OSINT analysis. Truly impressive. Check this thread out @bellingcat @EliotHiggins #Gaza
