2021-05-04 17:16:01 A Primer on ‘Serious’ Games

The use of ‘serious games’ — games with a primary purpose other than entertainment — is well established in fields such as healthcare, education or the military. Some well-known examples of the use of games in a non-entertainment context include the popular educational history adventure game The Oregon Trail; and flight and military simulators such as X-Plane and America’s Army, which are used for training purposes. Recent and lesser-known examples include the use of serious games for training healthcare workers and teaching effective environmental management. Further, research from the fields of healthcare and the military highlight the importance of simulations for practitioners’ knowledge development through repeated practice in a safe environment. https://gnet-research.org/2021/04/19/bridging-the-gap-between-counterterrorism-research-and-practice-through-game-based-learning/ Open / Comment

2021-05-04 14:13:02 Week in OSINT #2021-17 - Sector35 - Domain Takeover

Micah Hoffman pointed out to me that the websites dark.fail, onion.live and darknet.live all seem to have been hijacked. Someone or some group managed to take over the domains and is presumably using this to steal cryptocurrency by intercepting data of their visitors. I have removed the sites from my link section, to make sure you won't be visiting them in the meantime.

EMERGENCY: DO NOT TRUST THE DOMAIN 'https://t.co/vdpHwWWPBv' RIGHT NOW! Only trust https://t.co/w1DEmLt0vi.

My domain name was hijacked by a phisher. Darknetlive was also hijacked. Our registrar was https://t.co/cYTm1bULQh - help @Njal_la @namecheap

2021-05-03 19:18:02 Week in OSINT #2021-17 - Sector35 - Instagram Search by Date
Instagram has changed once again, as Youri found out. First they demanded you to be logged in to view posts, and no uBlock filter is going to help with that anymore. But now they've changed some things in the API making it impossible to search for posts by date. I've had a short look this weekend at the code, but haven't been able to figure out yet whether it's still possible via some undocumented feature.

It was possible to find Instagram pics tagged to a certain location and uploaded at a certain time. Here's the process explained by chris tophr. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work anymore https://t.co/ZTAr6rPNNR
