It covers active vs passive data, three main investigation methods, 15 practical tools, and privacy protection strategies. The creator stresses that the content is for education and awareness, not as a how-to for malicious doxxing. ### Key Points - **What this guide covers** [00:02] — A complete educational guide to open-source intelligence (OSINT): what it is, real examples, types of data, 15 tools, and protection advice. The video stresses it is not a how-to for malicious doxxing. - **Definition of OSINT** [00:47] — OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence: collecting and analyzing publicly available information from social networks, forums, websites, photos, and posts. It is legal and does not require hacking. - **Telegram account investigation example** [02:49] — Using just a Telegram account, you can find where it was created, what servers it uses, and which chats it is in. Telegram chats are fully sanitized, so scammers often reveal their city and even their school class, making refunds nearly 100% likely. - **Active vs passive data** [04:08] — Active data is what you publish yourself (photos, posts, profile info, geolocation). Passive data is what leaks (IP addresses, emails, phone numbers, passport data). Both can be used to trace a person. - **Digital footprint is permanent** [04:39] — Even deleted photos can be saved in archives or copied. A photo posted by a friend is enough to identify you, so your online trace never truly disappears. - **Three investigation methods** [06:05] — Open sources account for up to 90% of cases; the other methods are database leaks and paid government databases (via dishonest employees, often 5,000–10,000 rubles). - **15 tools: Telegram bots** [07:04] — Universal Telegram bots are the first tool — they search by phone number, name, username, IP, passport, and more, delivering real-time information. They cost roughly 50–100 rubles and are often anonymous. - **Have I Been Pwned for leak checks** [09:16] — Checks email or phone against known data breaches, revealing where passwords or accounts were exposed. Useful for finding additional leaked data about a person. - **Maltego for connections** [11:27] — Maltego visualizes relationships between people, organizations, IP addresses, and social networks. It analyzes leaks, domains, and accounts; the free version suits basic use. - **Course warning and advanced skills** [12:29] — Professionals need deeper training, but many paid 'OSINT courses' are scams. Free leaked courses cover thousands of materials; be careful what you buy. - **Protection advice** [13:15] — Lead a double life with different names and birth dates, don't order deliveries to your home, use partially real fake data, and delete old accounts, especially VKontakte. - **Ethical conclusion** [14:41] — OSINT is a powerful tool and must be used ethically. Use services like Find Clone for safety, protect your own data, and start with free educational materials. ## Transcript information about anyone using open sources without hacking, total blackmail, or illegal methods. But by the way, we’ll also talk about them a little so that you’re up to date. This is a complete guide to open source ASI. You'll learn what it is, see real-world examples, explore the types of data you can collect, and walk through 15 tools you'll understand how to use. even a schoolboy. We'll also tell you how to protect yourself from this type of attack so no one can identify you. This is not a how- to guide, but rather an educational resource to help you understand how the internet works and why your privacy is at risk. Let's go. First, let's figure out what an ASIN is. Asint is an acronym for Open Source Intelligent. This is open source intelligence. It is a method of collecting and analyzing information. which is available to literally everyone on the Internet. These are social networks, forums, websites, photographs, posts and just a bunch of other information that you, of course, put on public display. As the saying goes, everything that is posted or ends up on the internet stays there forever . And it is this information that is most often used to obtain some initial data and then further filter a person down the list. ASINT is used even for national security, investigations, competitor and business analysis, or simply for everyday needs. This is not always about finding some pedophiles on the internet, although I personally have nothing against such a finding . For example, most often it's to simply identify a scammer who cheated you out of a couple hundred rubles, check who's messaging you from a random account, or find out if your partner is cheating on you. In a time when your TV or smartphone knows more about you than your friends, sister, and mother because you leave all your information openly online, protection is crucial, and we'll talk about it at the end of the video . Let me repeat, AsiNT is not hacking, everything is legal, and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to do it. Well, of course, like everywhere else, here too, to become a professional, you need to spend quite a lot of time. But most of the services we use are free or cost pennies, and you can use them today. We'll put together a set of tools for legal search, and for those who want to go deeper, we'll add tips for learning even further. Now let's give some brief examples so you can understand the power of this approach. An absolutely standard situation. You log into Telegram, you get redirected to some service or a manual, it doesn't matter. And apart from the account, you have nothing in your hands. That is, a Telegram account and that's it. Using the ASIN, you can find out what kind of account it is, where it was created, what servers it is connected to, and, of course, what chats it is in. All Telegram chats are completely sanitized from A to Z. Telegram scammers, in turn, are not known for their exceptional intelligence and cleverness. And it's perfectly normal to see an account where they coo to throw people, which is a member of the ninth Bla chat in the Saransk region. As you understand, this is the school where he studies, and this is a chat class. I don't think I need to explain what to do next with this information , but the chances that your money will be returned are almost 100%. Someone is threatening the blogger in the comments, starting from the YouTube channel and Telegram, using a nickname from which they wrote dirt and links in the description, finding a friend, this very same scoundrel. Next is a photo with a friend, and there is already a name, that is, his name was Andrey, the city according to his friends, his parents' social networks. and so on. The breakthrough is, in general, complete. Let's move on to the main information. Data is divided into active and passive. Active is what you publish about yourself. These are photos, social media posts, profile descriptions, and your geolocation. Don't underestimate . If you don't care about privacy, you can find everything easily, from privacy, you can find everything easily, from start to finish. The digital footprint is forever. Even a deleted photo can be saved in an archive or copied by someone else. This is a normal situation. That is, it is not even necessary for your photo to be published on your personal page . It is enough for your friend to post a photo with you. By the way, you should also be perfectly aware of this, because if they find you in a photograph with someone, it will be easy to find you later. Passive data is what leaks. These are IP addresses when visiting websites, your email, registration, phone number, passport data for services, and so on. This is no longer a story for public consumption, but it usually leaks out through the bruisers. That is, these are people who hack databases or dishonest employees. Every year, millions of rows of data are leaked from Yandex, banks, and social networks. This is where you receive calls from. with a breathing voice on the phone or from Sberbank technical support, well, that is, from the same scammers. The data is practically publicly available on all known forums. If you need to find a person by phone number, you don’t necessarily need to go to the same Voice of God, which, by the way, is no longer relevant. All you need to do is find a contact on the forum who works in the cellular communications department, and you'll get almost all the information from the phone number. And these are calls, contacts and everything like that. This could be extremely scary information in the right hands. Let's talk about the punching methods. Three main ones. The first is open sources, and they account for up to 90% of all cases. That is, your social networks, forums, photos, and so on. The second is database leaks, that is, they buy or find leaked company data, as they said earlier. The third is government bases. Obviously for a fee. They already said a second ago, literally for 5, for 10,000 rubles. dishonest employees of the same police, by the way, or operators, get any information. This, by the way, is used for extreme cases, such as theft of fairly large sums of money and so on. Disclaimer: If you are an ordinary person, you don't need to worry. They are simply trying to scare you with this whole thing. They only check those who have done something wrong or who have a lot of money. That is, this is the person who may be of interest. Now let's move on to fifteen essential tools that , well, literally anyone can use. They are, by the way, for legal search in open sources. The first one is just boring, but it still works. Telegram bots for penetration testing, they are universal, with huge databases. That is, you request information by phone number, first name, last name, username, even IP address, passport, SLS in some social network. In general, absolutely any documents will do. They work in real time, meaning you submit your data and receive an immediate response. And most often they are anonymous. They find quite a lot of information from address, passport and even city. Just an example for a Telegram account. If the phone number in the account is currently hidden, but was previously public, the bot will give it out, and then it's on to the usual routine. Send your phone number and receive the following information. I previously gave an example of how a city can be obtained from chats and various leaks. This whole thing is not free, but costs 50-100 rubles. In principle, it can be tested. The second is PIN IE. Upload a photo and search for similar faces on biometric websites. that's also a good thing. If you're a pick-up artist, go on dates, or frequently use dating sites like Tinder and the like, you might want to check your dates for real life, because there are also a ton of scanners out there trying to rip you off . You upload a photo of a potential girl and compare it with the data from the service; for full links, a subscription is required. But this whole thing can be bypassed through the page code in the browser. I think you'll find information on how to do this. The third is ASНGra. This is a Python package for Instagram. It finds the email addresses of subscribers who view your stories anonymously. Run this whole story with chт GPT if you don't understand how it all works. Once you receive the email, you can run it through other bots. This is perfect through other bots. This is perfect for identifying your exes or fakes, I do n't know. There are just a ton of options for using this . Fourth Have I been pound. Checks email or phone for leaks, meaning it shows websites where accounts have been compromised or where your password has been leaked. This history is useful for finding related data. That is, for example, you have a person's phone number , you want to get more information, you submit it for verification and receive additional information that has already been leaked. That is, together, just like other instruments in principle . The fifth Intel Technicals . The fifth Intel Technicals is a search engine for social networks, forums, and PDFs. Finds mentions in resumes, reports and other information. It is used for more professional purposes for work or study. Sixth. Social Searcher. Searches for accounts by nickname or email, including rare and rather specific including rare and rather specific social networks, even those with adult content. That is, the same orange-black also falls into this category. The seventh is GetContact. Almost everyone knows it, but still it shows how others protect you. Even if you haven't shared data with this service, please be careful. Do all this on the wrong devices, on the wrong SIM cards, and don't agree with everything GETcontact offers you. They will simply take your data from your phone and leak your contacts. Do you need this? I think it's very doubtful. As a service, it's quite a convenient thing, but you need to know the pitfalls. The eighth one is called I know what you're downloading; they see downloaded torrents by IP address. It doesn't always work and it doesn't always reveal any big, big secrets, like specific content, so to speak, but it's still how companies like Nintendo find pirates. The ninth method is perhaps one of the most important, because it involves analyzing metadata, that is, finding out from the photograph what device it was taken on, what model it is, and even the IP address will be visible there. We've provided more detailed information in our Secret Folder Telegram channel, so be sure to check it out. The first link is in the description. You are welcome to check out the content there. The tenth method is Maltega. This story visualizes connections. That is, people, organizations, IP addresses and social networks. They analyze all leaks, domains, accounts by nicknames or even phone numbers. The free version is suitable for basic use , but the full version will be paid. The eleventh Free Carer Lookup identifies an operator by phone number. There are n't too many applications, but it adds a good story to the overall list. Twelfth. Phone Info is a Python tool for analyzing numbers by geolocation, operator, associated account, and so on. It's free globally, but it requires basic skills. The fourteenth is the IPNF. Information about your IP address, geolocation and your provider. And the fifteenth is not a service, but an approach. This is a CADI squeak. Use ready-made tools for basic tasks, i.e. brotection, checking, and so on. Look for videos on YouTube on how to use all of this. Download the software and you can work as a puncher. But I’ll say right away that professionals will need courses, articles on asynth, and so on. And no, I don’t sell courses on Asynth. Most often this was a scam, so do not buy such training without forum threads, be careful. You can find literally free leaked courses. Access to thousands of materials is always free. Just take your time. And that's not all about punching. There is also georeconnaissance, that is, using maps, satellites, and so on. This includes analysis of shadows, humidity and similar stories. This all applies to photographs. Now let's talk about protection. I'll say right away that it's most often not needed by the average person, the person who simply uses the internet every day and doesn't engage in any kind of dirty tricks. But still, it is worth providing information here. Lead a double life with literally different names, birth dates for registration, and so on. You do not order delivery to your address. Order somewhere nearby, leave it on the first floor, it will be much better. Order a fake dianon for yourself with partially real data. This can be quite effective in covering your tracks and throwing people off track. And, of course, delete old accounts, especially from dumps like VKontakte. There, well, there is literally zero privacy. If someone is already threatening you and they have checked you out and know your name, the best thing to do is to simply ignore them. One person gave me advice on how to behave in this situation. He blackmails me very often. And the best approach is to approach them as terrorists. There can be no dialogue with terrorists . You will lose something either way. they need something from you to us. The best strategy is simply to ignore it. And if you really want to do breakthroughs, then do them for the sake of good. Check any fakes for your own safety. Services like Find Clone can find social media accounts based on photos, making your life easier. Let me repeat that ASIN is simply an unrealistic tool, but it must be used ethically. Protect your data to avoid becoming a victim. And if you want to go deeper, start with some free leaked courses, and it will be much, much better. Subscribe if this material was useful. Also write comments in support. Well, and of course, bye everyone. Yeah .
