OSINT At Home #19 - Top 3 Google Search Hacks for Investigators

[@Bendobrown]

Hey all, I'm pretty keen to see if you've got any favorites you regularly use. Please drop them in the comments here!

[@spaced4448]

Hey Ben. How come you have no ads in your search for intitle:"camera live image" in Google? Also I have 4,470 search results?

[@HistoryBuff31314]

@@spaced4448he uses brave browser I assumed. They block ads

sorry I bookmarked your entire playlist and just now came to look at the last (and finest... just kidding, they are all amazing) nuggets of knowledge. I am flabbergasted with only 20 comments - not a joke mate - instead of 2000. This crazy world we live in simply doesn't appreciate any sort of knowledge.. I guess they think (or wait) "uploads" from the movie Matrix will be available soon. Too much of Musk Kool-Aid ... ladie in a dark leather suit pretending to be a robot. Nobody wants to learn the "old way" anymore by reading oor watching (while practicing) - not in fashion anymore. I have bad news for them. Only way id your way... sit, watch, practice, repeat... thx for coming back after long time, always nice to see/hear you and learn new stuff. You are amazing (not hitting on you, but man your brain is ready for download :)))) - and keep it up

[@Bendobrown]

brother your videos are so good i saw your play list for the osint and I love the way you teach if you can make more video like the sun calculator and geo osint that you make it's nice too keep going btw I like this video too also be more active

[@Bendobrown]

Thank you for your lovely comment and support. I really appreciate it 🙏

[@nai8374]

Thankyou! What is unclear to me is: when does a regular Google search include document results as well (pdf/xls/etc)? Sometimes a search query turns up a certain document, and sometims only a search query with a 'site:pdf' operator turns up the document.

thank you for the class bendobrown! when searching for webcams, how can one do more specific searches, like on a specific areas or cities instead of just looking for random ones?

[@mikenje5409]

Hi Benjamin, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enhancing my abilities. Would love to know if you are able to share any courses where OSINT skills can be advanced. Many Thanks

[@-youssefmobarak]

Love it❤

[@nai8374]

The maps site-operator doesn't seem to be working anymore. Most queries render no results, and the one you used a year ago (Sudan) then rendered thousands of results and now only renders 9 results.

[@stefanjohansson2373]

3:54 That’s a fictitious and rough estimate of number of search results. Try to scrape them and don’t be surprised if it’s only 10 pages in total. 😂

[@grilnam9945]

Ben, I appreciate most OSINT work could be done with almost any computer/monitor set up, but would you be able to say what you use or what you would have if you could have the ideal setup?

[@muradmurad6610]

Great! thank you

[@Bendobrown]

You are welcome!

[@asham218]

How can I contact you? It’s about War in Sudan.

[@Bendobrown]

My email address is in my about page 🙏

[@peterenglezos2880]

Good luck trying to email, I've tried 3 times in the last 12 months with no reply.

[@Bendobrown]

@@peterenglezos2880 that’s interesting. I almost always get my emails. Although sometimes I do not respond given some of the ludicrous questions I get, like people trying to stalk someone.

[@Bendobrown]

If you can get me on email, you can equally DM me on Twitter/X. I am on daily. My handle is @bendobrown

[@peterenglezos2880]

@@Bendobrown Lets not assume that questions being put forward to you are ones that refer to them as stalkers, as that would be prejudice and could have legal implications.

[@ghazayel]

how to know on which webpage was a document linked?. A PDF you found online, which webpage had a link to that file ?

[@pm820]

Google search has gotten worse over the last five years unfortunately

[@TgWags69]

Yes..then....."you don't need books and you don't need to learn anything. Everything you need to know is on google!"......now info removed ....shopping and propaganda left!

True but no one noticced

[@CellTherapyCream]

Ahhh Google Dorks back when the engine was useful and viable. Now it's hot garbage driving mediocre dividends.

Is it possible to get EXIF data from instragram photos? Please. Urgent.

No. It is removed upon upload
