OSINT At Home #1 - Starting an investigation with image reverse search

Video Description

This tutorial is part 1 of the OSINT At Home series. It covers how to do an image reverse search to find more information about an image, or the screenshot of a video. The image reverse search is a great way to start any piece of research as it allows you to take an image on the internet and not only find where else it has been used, but also by who, in what context, and what location. Through such a quick act you are able to identify much more open source information out of that simple act. By mastering this investigative skill, using tools like Yandex image reverse search, Google, Bing, Baidu or TinEye, you can identify the origin of logos on a piece of clothing, military symbols, store signs and sometimes faces. While this tutorial only covers an introductory use of the image reverse search, it is recommended that further research be done on specific use cases to help you in your research. The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.
