OSINT Tips & Insider Techniques
DNS History & Passive DNS
Current DNS records only show where a domain points NOW. Passive DNS databases record historical changes. Use SecurityTrails or DNSDumpster to see:
- Old IP addresses the domain used to point to
- Other domains hosted on the same IP historically
- Changes in hosting infrastructure over time
- Potential shell companies or related domains
Why it works: People often move domains but leave traces. Historical DNS can reveal connections they thought were hidden.
Telegram OSINT
Telegram doesn't require phone numbers to search users. Key techniques:
- Username search without @ symbol (direct chat links)
- Group membership scraping via public group lists
- Channel analysis for post patterns and engagement
- Bot interactions reveal user IDs and activity
Tools: Use @username_to_id_bot to get numeric user IDs. Check recent message timestamps to see when someone's active.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator Boolean Tricks
Advanced Boolean search operators most people don't know:
title:(VP OR Director) AND company:Microsoft NOT title:Assistant
school:"Stanford University" AND company:(Google OR Meta) AND title:Engineer
profile_language:en AND location:"San Francisco Bay Area" AND past_company:Apple
Pro tip: Use parentheses for complex queries. Combine current_company and past_company to map career paths.
TikTok Username Enumeration
TikTok usernames can be changed but the profile URL numeric ID stays permanent. Finding someone who changed their username:
- Use Google dorking:
site:tiktok.com "@oldusername" - Check cached pages for the numeric ID in URL
- Navigate to tiktok.com/@username to get user ID from page source
- Profile ID never changes even when username does
Wireless Network Geolocation (WiGLE)
WiGLE database maps WiFi networks and their physical locations worldwide. If you have:
- A WiFi network name (SSID)
- A MAC address from WiFi scan
- Bluetooth device addresses
You can find approximate physical location. Useful when investigating where photos were taken based on visible WiFi networks.
URL: wigle.net
Cached Page Analysis
Don't just look at cached pages. COMPARE them:
- Use diff tools to see exactly what changed between snapshots
- Deleted text often reveals what someone wants hidden
- Compare Wayback Machine dates to significant events (lawsuits, scandals)
- Check robots.txt history to see what they're blocking now vs before
Tool: CachedView pulls from multiple cache sources simultaneously.
Image Reverse Search Chaining
Don't just reverse search once. Chain your searches:
- Start with Google Reverse Image Search
- Take the OLDEST result and search that on Yandex
- Find different version? Search THAT on TinEye
- Download highest resolution found, search on Bing Visual
- Each engine has different databases and algorithms
Why it works: Original images propagate across the internet. Each search engine indexes different corners of the web.
Sock Puppet Account Best Practices
Creating believable fake accounts for investigation requires discipline:
- Never mix: Use dedicated browser profiles, separate VPN, unique email
- Age the account: Create weeks before using, add gradual activity
- Steal legitimacy: Use real person's public info (with permission) or composite identities
- Match the platform: Instagram needs photos, LinkedIn needs work history
- Engagement pattern: Like/comment on unrelated content to build algorithmic trust
Warning: Check your jurisdiction's laws on digital impersonation.
Browser Fingerprinting Detection
Even with VPN/Tor, your browser has a unique fingerprint. Test and reduce it:
- Test sites: amiunique.org, deviceinfo.me, browserleaks.com
- What they see: Canvas fingerprint, WebGL, fonts, screen resolution, timezone
- Mitigation: Use Tor Browser (best), Firefox with resistFingerprinting, or Brave's fingerprint randomization
- Avoid: Browser extensions (they increase uniqueness), rare screen resolutions, custom fonts
Finding Real IPs Behind Cloudflare
Cloudflare hides origin servers. Techniques to find the real IP:
- Subdomain scanning: mail.example.com often not behind Cloudflare
- Historical DNS: Check SecurityTrails for pre-Cloudflare IPs
- SSL certificates: Certificate Transparency logs show IPs that served the cert
- Email headers: Send email to site contact, check X-Originating-IP header
- Censys/Shodan: Search for unique page content, find servers serving it
Google Dorking for Exposed Data
Advanced Google search operators to find leaked information:
site:pastebin.com "password" "@company.com"
filetype:pdf "confidential" site:target.com
intitle:"index of" "parent directory" "config.php"
inurl:"/admin/login.php" site:*.edu
site:linkedin.com "email" "@target.com" AND "mobile"
Explanation: Combine operators to narrow down exposed files, login pages, directory listings, and contact info.
Email Pattern Discovery
Companies use predictable email formats. Once you know one email, you can guess others:
- Find one employee email (from signature, LinkedIn, company site)
- Identify pattern: firstname.lastname@, first.last@, flast@, firstnamel@
- Use Hunter.io or RocketReach to verify pattern
- Apply pattern to other employees from LinkedIn
- Verify deliverability without sending: use email verification APIs
Bonus: Email permutation tools like EmailHippo generate all possible formats.
Geolocation from Photos Without GPS
Even with GPS data stripped, photos reveal location through visual clues:
- Architecture: Building styles specific to regions
- Signage: Language, fonts, regulatory signs (speed limits, parking)
- Vegetation: Plant species narrow down climate zones
- Infrastructure: Power lines, road markings, license plates
- Shadows: Sun angle indicates latitude and time of day
Tools: GeoGuessr skills transfer here. Cross-reference with Google Street View.
Audio Forensics for Verification
Audio files contain hidden metadata and forensic traces:
- Metadata: ExifTool works on audio files too (recorder type, timestamps)
- Background noise: Ambient sounds reveal location (traffic, birds, language)
- Spectrograms: Visualize audio, sometimes hidden images in sound (steganography)
- Voice comparison: Use Praat software for waveform/pitch analysis
Free tool: Audacity (spectrogram view) and Sonic Visualiser
Phone Number Intelligence
Phone numbers reveal more than you'd think:
- Area code: Original registration location (even if portable)
- Carrier lookup: Identifies VOIP vs real mobile numbers
- HLR lookup: Home Location Register shows if number is active
- WhatsApp check: Number registered? See profile pic and status
- SignalHire/RocketReach: Reverse lookup to find associated person
CLI tool: PhoneInfoga automates most of this.
WHOIS History & Domain Relationships
Current WHOIS data is often privacy-protected. Historical WHOIS reveals original owners:
- DomainTools: Historical WHOIS lookups (paid but sometimes free preview)
- WHOXY: Search by registrant email to find all related domains
- Reverse WHOIS: Find all domains registered by same person/org
- Registrar patterns: Related sites often use same registrar/name server
Pastebin & Leaked Data Monitoring
Sensitive data gets dumped to paste sites regularly:
- Pastebin, Ghostbin, Rentry: Search for company names, domains, emails
- PasteLert: Set alerts for keywords appearing in new pastes
- Dehashed/LeakCheck: Aggregated breach data search
- IntelX: Darknet paste sites and forums
Google dork: site:pastebin.com "@targetdomain.com"
URL Shortener Resolution
Shortened URLs hide the destination. Expand them safely:
- Add + to end: bit.ly/abc123+ shows preview page
- Unshorten services: unshorten.me, urlex.org, checkshorturl.com
- cURL command:
curl -sI shortened-url | grep -i location - Browser extensions: Unshorten.link auto-expands on hover
Security tip: Never click shortened URLs directly. Always check destination first.
Cryptocurrency Blockchain Analysis
Crypto transactions are public. Track wallet activity:
- Blockchain explorers: Etherscan (Ethereum), Blockchain.com (Bitcoin)
- Wallet clustering: Group addresses by common ownership patterns
- Exchange identification: Large wallets often belong to known exchanges
- Transaction graphs: Visualize flow of funds between addresses
Tools: OXT.me (Bitcoin), Chainalysis Reactor (pro), GraphSense
Academic & Research Intelligence
Find someone's research, publications, collaborations:
- Google Scholar: Publication history, citation count, co-authors
- ORCID: Unique researcher ID, links all publications
- ResearchGate: Social network for academics, often includes full-text papers
- Semantic Scholar: AI-powered research paper search
- Sci-Hub: Access paywalled papers (gray area legally)
