OSINT Tradecraft Tips

Weekly insights from the web, handpicked and honed by experts.

Enhance Your Geolocation Skills with Bellingcat's OpenStreetMap Tool

In this week's issue, we wanted to highlight Bellingcat’s OpenStreetMap search tool. This innovative tool helps in narrowing down regions for geolocation searches by matching structures and features in images. It's a useful tool that can help you geolocate images faster. Check out this video on how to get started.

Simplify Data Conversion: Excel's ArcGIS Tool for Geocoding and Geo-enrichment

Transform your geo-data with ArcGIS for Excel. If you're juggling between street addresses and coordinates, this function is what you need. Convert coordinates to street addresses or vice versa. An excellent tip by Ryan Lindemann.

The GIJN Resource Center is an excellent hub for investigative and data journalism related guides and resources. It offers over 2,000 items in multiple languages and covers a wide range of topics including climate change, war crimes, and more. Have a look at their top guides and tipsheets from 2023.

Note from the OSINT Jobs Team: While GIJN's guides, tips, and resources are tailored for journalists, the underlying methods and techniques can be applied in almost any domain.

Enhance Reddit Analysis with Knewkarma

New 'Phone to Number' Module by OSINT Industries

OSINT Industries has launched a new module that gathers various details from SnapChat using just a phone number. This includes the user's ID, username, title, name, and more. Check out their LinkedIn post for more information.

Bellingcat’s NEW Tool Simplifies US Company Investigations

Bellingcat’s Technical Fellow, George Dyer, has developed a toolkit to streamline investigations of publicly listed companies in the US. This toolkit assists in navigating and gathering data from a freely accessible company regulatory database.

The Center for Information Resilience (CIR’s) Internal Policy for Employee Safety in Online Environments

CIR has released another of their internal policies for public access, titled "Online Abuse Policy, Support Mechanisms, and Guidance". This policy deals with safeguarding employees engaged in online work by addressing the risks of harassment, doxxing, and threats. Key measures include digital safety courses, assistance in removing online personal information, support in case of severe harassment or doxxing, collaboration with law enforcement, and help with social media complaints.
