SearchBook is currently down as Facebook has made more changes to their graph search. Stay updated on Twitter in the #OSINT community for more news.There are a few tools out there that still get the job done. IntelX has a free Facebook Graph Searcher tool that has been working quite well for me. MSIS reached out stating they have a completely different solution than the Graph Search. Make sure to check out the SearchBook article on https://jakecreps.com/2019/06/24/searchbook/ for a little bit of background on the recent changes to

Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles without using Twitter’s API.  That being said, it does violate Twitter’s TOS so use of this tool should be used with caution.  I recommend research purposes only.  Twint solves one big problem with Twitter: the API limits.  Currently, Twitter’s API only allows you to pull the last 3200 tweets from a user. That presents problems for a number of reasons, but it is a huge factor for accounts that tweet very frequently or are legacy accounts going back years (or over a decade!). The developer of Twint is Francesco Poldi.  He and I have worked on many projects together including JungleScam and Platypus. He is also working on Intelgram, which is currently in private beta. Twint, however, is probably the OSINT tool I use most in my workflow.  This is primarily because it’s so easy to use and allows for an insane amount of customization with very limited Python experience.https://jakecreps.com/2019/06/25/twint/

LinkedIn2Username is an OSINT tool that generates username lists from companies on LinkedIn. What’s great about LinkedIn2Username is it’s easy to setup and doesn’t require an API key. You need only supply your LinkedIn username and password to operate it. One disclaimer before we get started is this tool will likely not deliver quality results from a pseudo/alias account unless you’ve built many connections through it. Additionally, LinkedIn will cap search results to 1000 employees so if you’re scrape a very large company, results will vary.

Skiptracer is an OSINT scraping framework that utizes basic python webscraping of PII paywall sites to compile information (passively) on a target. This is especially useful if you are operating on a very small budget. It’s primarily US-focused, but you can use tools like LittleBrother for possible access to the EU domain.

For email search, Skiptracer checks LinkedIn, HaveIBeenPwned, MySpace, and AdvancedBackgroundChecks. For name search, Skiptracer leverages Truth Finder, True People, and AdvancedBackgroundChecks. For phone numbers, Skiptracer searches TruePeopleSearch, WhoCalld, 411, and AdvancedBackgroundChecks. For screen names, SkipTracer checks Knowem, NameChk, and Tinder. For license plates, it uses Plate Search. For domains, is uses Subdomain Search.

While there are tools that do many of these tasks better, in my opinion, there are no tools I’m aware of that do all these tasks in one place. It’s sort of a Swiss army knife of people search tools that’s an excellent place to start your investigation.

The OSINT podcast has been on hiatus for a while. After a bit of review, I found out a better format that I feel will be more sustainable in the future that will provide quality to the OSINT community. Welcome back to The OSINT Podcast. It's going to be a lot of fun.

This episode is a deep dive into one of my favorite OSINT tools, Spiderfoot.  We talk about the basics of Spiderfoot, setting it up, running a set of parameters, and getting your OSINT output that is useful for your day to day. spiderfoot.nettwitter.com/binarypool

Thanks for a great 2018.  I've upgraded the equipment for better audio quality.  I decided to upload an episode showing off the new mic and going over 2018 and what I expect in 2019 as well as a few goals I have for The OSINT Podcast.
