2021-06-14 09:08:00 Week in OSINT #2021-22 - Sector35 - TheMarkup Blacklight

Last week Twitter user UnleashedOsint warned about a link that was shared that contained a session recorder. According to some checks, mouse clicks and movements, page scrolling and even keystrokes were captured. He found it by checking the link with the website Blacklight by TheMarkup, built by suryamattu. This free online tool checks webpages for any privacy invading scripts or apps. This link should deserve a permanent place in your bookmarks!

2021-06-13 19:18:01 Week in OSINT #2021-22 - Sector35 - Collaborate With Hunchly

Justin Seitz was asked a question about how it's possible to collaborate with a team when using Hunchly. In this Twitter thread he explains how to use some basic scripting and Google Sheets to send every captured URL to a sheet. And everyone who is configured to access that sheet with the script, will send their URL's to it in real time, thus saving everything in real time as you browse.

So #OSINT folks also wanted to see a streaming sample, which is not great for @zapier so we need to get a little creative with Google Sheets and a bit of code.

Goal: Multiple journalists working together with @Hunchly in automatic capture mode.

2021-06-13 14:13:01 Week in OSINT #2021-22 - Sector35 - Tracking Planes

Back in September 2019 I had the privilege of working with Emmanuel Freudenthal and give a workshop on plane tracking in Berlin. What we shared in resources in a full day, was not even half of what you can find here. GIJN has written a lengthy article with information on tracking planes, the technical site, finding ownership information and a lot more. This article is a one-stop list of sites, links to tutorials but also examples of how the information is used in real-life investigations. If you are new to this type of investigation, then I do suggest you take a day or so and read each and every article that is mentioned here.
