Tag: r/OSINT

Hi everyone,

I’m a Master’s graduate in Interpreting & Translation (Russian and Spanish) based in the UK, looking to pivot into corporate intelligence, EDD, or threat analysis (targeting firms OSINT/corporate risk consultancies).

I see mixed advice on certifications. My current plan is to combine my language abilities with formal training—specifically looking at practical OSINT courses (TCM Security / SANS SEC487) and potentially a compliance credential (ICA AML) to cover financial risk context.

For those currently working in corporate investigations or private sector intelligence:

1. Would a recruiter in this space value a candidate who combines high-level Russian/Spanish OSINT with an entry-level compliance cert like ICA, or is a public portfolio of research briefs (e.g., GitHub/Medium) far more effective?
2. How are entry-level candidates with strong regional/linguistic skills typically evaluated in your teams?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

If you’ve used OpenCorporatesCLI or hit OpenCorporates’ API directly recently, you may have noticed it now 401s on every call, including plain search, unless you have a paid account token. Doesn’t look like they’re issuing free ones anymore.

I rebuilt the tool against GLEIF’s LEI registry API (https://www.gleif.org/) instead — free, no key. Search a company name, get legal entity detail: status, legal form, registered/HQ address, and the actual registration authority + link as the source of record.

GLEIF only covers entities that hold/held an LEI (mostly stuff that touches financial markets), so it’s ny small-business lookupOpenCorporates did — but it’s free and it works.

Caveat:

SuperView Neo-1 01, a Chinese commercial imaging satellite launched in 2022, flies at about 513 km in a sun-synchronous orbit. On 1 October a Falcon 9 rideshare put 63 satellites and dozens of other objects into almost the same orbit, and they have been passing it ever since.

My tracker forecasts close approaches from Space-Track’s public orbit data and re-runs them with every update. For OBJECT BF, one of the rideshare’s objects Space-Track hasn’t identified yet, every forecast from 25 October on put the pass at 20:24 UTC on 26 October, between 120 and 700 metres apart, at 72 metres a second. After the pass, fresh data re-measured it at about 130 metres.

That’s finer than public data can really resolve. These orbits are good to around a kilometre, so the true miss could have been a few hundred metres or more than a kilometre, and operators get far better tracking and collision warnings than this. But it shows how crowded the 500 km shell has become. In the past day the same rideshare’s satellites also passed within 2 to 6 km of PRSC-EO1, a Pakistani imaging satellite, three times, with another pass of about 1.3 km forecast for 28 October.

The pair’s page has every forecast: https://overhead24.com/proximity/52320-100936

How would you monitor public pet-sale listings across multiple websites?

• What tools can alert you to new matches, including misspelled or mislabeled breeds?
• Can image matching find the same animal in cropped or edited photos?
• How can you automatically save dated copies before listings disappear?

What’s the simplest setup for someone without coding experience?

In the past I used very much:

site:instagram.com intext:”<user>” and was able to see many posts that this user was mentioned or commented.

Idk why, bur is not more working. Any suggestions to achieve the same result ?

Was investigating my gmail account (just for fun) and got to know about the concept of a GAIA ID. What can it exactly do? Google doesn’t give any answers.

Like, can it find my YouTube channel? Or is it limited to Google Maps review?

I am searching for information on a criminal case decided through the Scotland High Court in 2024, but the High Court’s website only displays rolls for cases that occurred in the last few months of this year.

Any information and advice to access older rolls and case information would be very much appreciated. Thanks doves xx

Hello,

Is there any way to find a specific account’s comments across TikTok videos? We kinda able to do this in instagram via search engines but I don’t know how on TikTok.

Thanks
