I love these little and easy to follow tutorials, even if they are basic. So keep an eye out for his blog section, because he posts new content on a regular basis https://www.aware-online.com/en/osint-tutorials/.

Last year I had the idea to dive into the safety of extensions or add-ons that you use in your browser. Me, Salaheldinaz and ex16x41 wanted to take the most used ones, unpack them, dive into the source code, inspect their working and network traffic and create a list of ones that deem to be safe. And then Salaheldinaz found this awesome site! CRXcavator generates reports on add-ons, generate a risk assessment, and even offer you to dive into the source code by a single click of your mouse. Of course you need to have some basic knowledge about what permissions do, and which ones might pose a risk, but with some technical people around you it'll be easy to check the safety any plug-in you are using.

Joe Gray's tweet caught my eye the other day and even though I knew about finding out the creation date of a Protonmail address, I had to have a closer look. And I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised! The tool does not only check the validity and creation date of an address, it also has a brute force method of finding possible email addresses and it has the option to see whether an IP address is affiliated with ProtonVPN.
