September 2025
Created a new page on our OSINT / i3 website for Spotify, with a few details and links to try to get the most out of any Spotify account you are researching.
Made more changes to the Messenger Apps page of our OSINT / i3 website, by creating 2 new pages, for Telegram & WhatsApp, with lots links & details, which may help when investigating issues around these messaging apps.
Made changes to the Messenger Apps page of the website, and moved some links to a new page at Snapchat, with links and details which may help when investigating issues around Snapchat.
August 2025
Added a link for SpotThem, to the Email & Mobile Phone pages of our OSINT / i3 website, SpotThem is a new site, where you can search an Email Address and Mobile Number, to locate linked online accounts & app etc, similar to OSINT Industries, Epieos & OSINT Lol Archiver.
Thanks to Mario Santella for this OSINT Technique.
I've updated the Python Sites & Instagram pages on our OSINT / i3 website, adding details of InstagramPrivSniffer by Obitouka, which is a tool that allows you to extract additional information about Private Instagram accounts, such as URL's to some linked public posts.
We have changed the Translation page of our website to a Translation & Transcription Sites page, and added a section on Online Transcription Sites, with links to sites, which use AI, where you can obtain a transcription of what is said on TikTok or X / Twitter videos etc, which whilst not 100% perfect may be good enough to assist in an investigation.
There are a number of links to Download A TikTok Video on the TikTok page of our website, but recently I had a need to download some video's from a TikTok account, so thought I would say that UrleBird was so quick and easy to use.
We have added a new section called Sites To Check If An Image Is AI Generated to the Reverse Image Searching page of our website. As always nothing is 100% accurate but these sites allow you to upload an image for free and will then quickly assess if the image is Genuine or AI Generated.
Twice in the last two weeks I have used FaceSeek to identify & locate an image online and have been really impressed by the results. From a not great profile image, it has located linked accounts on adult sites and social media sites, which has really helped drive forward some investigations. There is a link to FaceSeek on the Reverse Image Searching page of our website.
July 2025
The Email Related Sites & Links page of our website was looking a bit cramped, so we have moved some links and created a new page on Hacked Account Research Sites & Links, with details and techniques which will hopefully help online investigators and researchers.
We have added a page on Pinterest to our website, with details and techniques which will hopefully help if you have to investigate or research a Pinterest account.
We have added some more pages and sections to the Creating Fake Online ID's page of our website, with new pages and details on Creating Fake Profile Images, Creating Fake Profile Videos and Linking Your Smartphone To Your Desktop.
Thanks to Ritu Gill / Forensic OSINT for this OSINT Technique.
I've updated the Facebook Marketplace Research page on our OSINT / i3 website, adding details on How To Identify When A Facebook Marketplace Listing Was Made.
June 2025
Thanks to Epieos for this OSINT Technique.
I've updated the X / Twitter page on our OSINT / i3 website, adding details on How To Identify When An X / Twitter Profile Banner Was Last Updated.
I've updated the UK Birth, Death & Marriage Certificate Details page on our OSINT / i3 website, adding some new details, to help show what is recorded on the Certificates, which can be a really useful source of information when carrying out research into individuals.
May 2025
I've updated the OnlyFans page on our OSINT / i3 website, adding some new useful OSINT links & details.
Made lots of changes and additions to the Archive & Cached Related Sites & Links page of our OSINT / i3 website, with new pages & details on how to use archive sites, listed under Request A Webpage To Be Archived, Archive.Org - Normal Use and Archive.Org - Social Media Research, which will hopefully help those that are not using archive sites during their online research.
Updated the TikTok page of our OSINT / i3 website, with some new useful links & techniques.
Finished making the additions to the Property Sites page of our OSINT / i3 website, with new pages & details for UK Properties covering Estate Agent Type Sites, Land Registry, Streetview Type Images & Other Useful Details.
April 2025
Made some changes to the Searching Phone Numbers page of our OSINT / i3 website, adding some more countries to the list, as to how their telephone numbers are formatted / set out and so how they can be searched.
Made lots of changes to the Property Sites page of our OSINT / i3 website, with new pages & details for UK Properties covering Council Tax, Business Rates, Bin Day & Planning Applications, and will be adding some more pages and details soon.
Made some changes & updates to the Political Sites section on the Favorites page of our OSINT / i3 website, with some useful links, mostly for the UK Parliament and the Dissolved Assemblies.
Made some changes to the Genealogy - Births, Deaths, Marriages and Wills & Probate Sites page of our OSINT / i3 website, deleting a few old links, which no longer worked and add a few new useful ones.
March 2025
Made some changes to the Maps & Location Related Sites page of our OSINT / i3 website showing how a Latitude & Longitude reading can be altered to show the location on Google Maps, as not every Image EXIF Viewer, which shows the Latitude & Longitude associated to an image, links directly to a Mapping site.
I doing some online OSINT training sessions for The Investigator over the next few months, the details are Here.
Apparently Skype is being retired / removed by Microsoft in May of this year, which I suppose is understandable (as no-one really uses it anymore) but it's always sad to see another old OSINT resource disappear, just like when Friends Reunited went. So I will remove the links to Skype from the website, but no doubt shortly another great OSINT resource will be discovered, which we will all use and many will wonder how we ever found anything useful without it.
February 2025
I've updated a number of pages on our OSINT / i3 website, removing a few old dead links and adding a few more useful links, so feel free to checkout our pages on EXIF Data Related Sites & Links, LinkedIn Related Sites & Links, People Search Sites & Time Zone & Time Converter Related Sites & Links.
After seeing a demonstration of it, I have added a link for ReplicaCyber to the OSINT Sites And Research Software & Solutions page of our OSINT / i3 website. The ReplicaCyber Platform would appear to be a very easy to set up & operate Remote Desktop style solution, offering complete anonymous internet activity, from your browser, cutting out some of the big issues with other Remote Desktops being used by the law enforcement in the UK, as it seems quite user friendly, leaves genuine common footprints; allows the user to add whatever addons / extensions they want, to whatever browser they wish to use; and allows easy copy/paste or drag/drop of material from the Replicate Remote Desktop to the user's real Desktop.
January 2025
I have updated the General Social Media Sites & Links page of our OSINT / I3 website, as so many of the smaller social media sites, linked to particular countries or languages, are no longer around.
As many of the online resources, where you could paste in a Facebook or X / Twitter account URL to obtain an Account ID Number, or to do the reverse, no longer work, we have now removed the links from our website, however there are still techniques which you can use to obtain an Account ID Number, or turn an Account ID Number into an Account Name, some of which are listed on the Facebook & X / Twitter pages of our OSINT / I3 website.
Have added a link on the Motor Vehicle Related Sites of our website for partialnumberplate.co.uk, and created a page at UK Partial Number Plate Research, explaining how to use it. PartialNumberPlate is a free useful online resource, which allows you to search a partial UK & Irish registration number, replacing any unknown / missing characters with a ?, it will then return a list of possible registration numbers for vehicles, along with the vehicles make & colour.
