OSINT At Home #10- How to map anything with freely available location data

[@nikoknigge4261]

Hi Benjamin, for years I have created security-related maps for our high-crime community in rural South Africa. I stumbled across your channel, and it was a real eye-opener. The resources you share will make my work so much easier and so much better. A big, BIG thank you!

[@Bendobrown]

You are very welcome

[@victorygarden556]

id love to see information about your community. maybe you could do videos on your communities security? maybe not because it would show your hand.

[@jacobshawn1010]

Awesome

[@mzwenkosihlela7989]

Hi I'm from South Africa too and I'm in Tech, how far are you with your project

[@CriticalDispatch]

Really amazing stuff. Had no idea about these tools. The potential to export the GeoJSON files and then create a custom map in After Effecs using Geolayers is very exciting.

[@Bendobrown]

Glad it helps!!

[@DWLee]

Amazing tutorial, Ben!!! Thanks for putting it together.

[@Bendobrown]

Thanks Doowan - really appreciate it 🙏

[@architmeta]

Welcome back and TYSM!! Requesting a GEPHI tutorial

[@Bendobrown]

It’s scheduled to do! But thank you 🙏

[@mxh5647]

I'm not sure why this entered my feed but having watched it I'm glad it did. I will have to play with this stuff. Thank you.

Another important thing: OSM is a volunteer-made map, so places where people spend less free time on the Western internet, will get mapped less (eg. China, Africa). You should also consider volunteering edits or donating.

[@JasonHaygood55]

Great overview Ben. Thanks for putting this together!

[@Bendobrown]

Thanks Jason 🙏

[@RomeoCanali]

Pretty cool, it helped me to make researches for my trade business job, thanks!

[@Bendobrown]

Great to hear!

Thank you so much ! never thought I could learn this so easily, you got a new subscriber now~

[@Bendobrown]

Thanks for subbing!

[@mayavik1034]

Ben I just found you, looks like I am gonna be a regular.

[@Bendobrown]

Welcome aboard 🙏

[@FredyRivera]

Perhaps the most important difference between osm and google is the license and the possibilities of use, since osm is actually free for any use, including commercial, while google you can only look at it and you cannot even collect the information.

[@akinator824]

Thankyou so much Ben , How to watch the public cctv camera?

[@Bendobrown]

You could look at open cameras through shodan, or through a bit of google dorking? I actually showed how to find public CCTV feeds that were indexed on Google in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iICxiaiogLOFarM

[@armint7838]

Hey ben. nice work. Is it possible to take it more detailed? Like waterstations and public toilets that are maximum 1 km from each other?

[@ssahillppatell]

Nice. Thanks King

[@Hebrews_412_KJV]

Hello. Could I integrate this with Thunkable some how through an API and also have the capability of adding my own custom pins all over a given map?

[@jackiepie7423]

Thank you for your work. I am often interest in how data like covid deaths or gun deaths break down by congresional district

[@seefinish_]

Interesting , Thanks

[@awol6574]

Hey man, I am a fresher with basic cybersecurity knowledge and i want to build a career in OSINT could you recommend where i should start from??

[@GauravSharma-pk7xt]

Same question

[@Bendobrown]

Find something you are passionate about, that gives you a sense of curiosity or feeling of doing good and piece together the dots online. There are so many potential points of research online. It could be mapping coral destruction, finding stolen dogs sold on websites, verification of community/local news claims, geolocating old world war photos, or reading the headlines and looking a little deeper at what the internet says to find trends and patterns.

[@Bendobrown]

Thank you 🙏

[@TomCoutfit]

Thanks Ben - that's very interesting. Regarding the Open Street Map wiki, is it not the case that the data is very hit and miss? I tried a test for CCTV, and then for manmade surveillance in London, and there were far fewer cameras than I would have thought (and none around Liverpool Street train station, which is obviously wrong). Is this just down to definitions of what cameras are in the public domain (rather than govt), or is there another category for this entirely? Really enhjoying your series though and have recommended it to a few people. Cheers

[@funtonite]

It's all contributor generated, and I don't think most people add CCTV cameras to the map. I personally don't bother with adding them. I mostly focus on pedestrian infrastructure, drinking fountains and toilets.

[@jacobshawn1010]

Awesome

[@ExploreWithTheElz]

Dont forget many companies offer free drinking water (the often have a sign in the window or door)

[@ridhoputra2471]

thank you very much... ur explanation is very clear

[@Bendobrown]

You are most welcome

[@scottylam523]

I learned OSINT had a name by stumbling onto your series. All great content. On another note, how long are these runs that you need a map of refill spots and bathrooms?

Stop watching from above I see you

[@carpediemcotidiem]

I wonder why Google doesn't incorporate all this free data into Google Maps?

[@dathat555]

Google did better by making their interface open enough to add any specialty data you fancy. There is no way Google could incorporate the many thousands of free data sets available and keep the UI manageable. Better to allow customization.

[@ImperiumLibertas]

Google does area querying. It only searches a small area to make queries more manageable and overall cheaper for them. It's not the most informative but usually gets the job done for most people.

[@mdraselhossain580]

How to download this whose software

[@Bendobrown]

It's not really a download so much as it is a web-based query. I have linked to the tools in the description below.

[@ImperiumLibertas]

"You can see how this can be useful maybe if you're looking for CCTVs, ATMs, power lines..." Bro are you planning something???

[@ImperiumLibertas]

What I'm seeing becoming increasingly common is geolocation over time. Would you consider this as a topic? It would take this geolocation mapping to the next level.
