I have taken some time off lately, and utterly enjoyed it! But it was about time I did some writing again... No Week in #OSINT yet, but something else. Because I wanted to share my thoughts on what I call "black box OSINT" tools 👇 sector035.nl/articles/black…

The original post was deleted it seems. In case you wonder what it was about, here you go...

And thank you to @OSINT_Tactical and @juanmab for pointing out the accounts on X and Insta 🤜🤛

Interesting to see that others just take a quiz I posted last week, and add it to their own account. No credits are given, no link to the original poster, and just run with it. But remember folks: Ethics is a very important part of law enforcement too 😎

@juanmab @BluetoGold Yup, seen it. Extra verification on my side whether the original maker of the photo did, or did not give his or her permission to be used by them... Stand by 😎

@OSINT_Tactical Interesting that they repost it without credits 😒 Hmpf... Thanks for letting me know 👍

@Sector035 - Link to the foursquare page foursquare.com/v/ralph-lauren… , also adding a screenshot of the search that was carried out. - Here is the link to the account that posted the exact same challenge: (also added a screenshot) instagram.com/p/DFLtZN_SREb/

It's time for the #Thursdayquiz! Can anyone find out where in the UK this is? 🤝 Reply all = collaboration 👇 Reply in thread = answers 🔃 Retweet = invite others...

If you have a GeoGuessr account, do check out this map. Have fun, enjoy, and keep on practicing you #verification and #geolocation skills with GeoGuessr, and with @Quiztime! geoguessr.com/maps/677383cb9…

All locations are handpicked, and most locations have clues nearby about the country, general area, or maybe even more! A few locations are a bit more tricky, but with some basic GeoGuessr knowledge, it should be possible to solve them within a few minutes.

Since 2017, the @Quiztime crew has sent out hundreds of geolocation and verification challenges via social media. I spent some time creating a GeoGuessr map, where you have the chance to visit some of the locations that featured in our quizzes!

@daisyhunted Well, I'll spoil the answer here... One was actually a DSLR, the other one was a smart phone 😎

@Sector035 Ah I didn't think the 1.2 megapixels was significant enough 🙈 and may have been the difference between a front or rear camera.

It's time for the #Thursdayquiz! Find out where I stood when I took each photo. What's the distance between? For the pro's: Did I use the same device to capture both pics? 🤝 Reply all = collaboration 👇 Reply in thread = answers 🔃 Retweet = invite others...

@daisyhunted Spot on regarding the locations... But the megapixels are not the same ;-)

@Sector035 15.6km by car or 8.8 miles as the crow flies. Locations as follows: 53.409931, 6.160799 53.326157, 5.999774 Possibly similar device as both photos are similar megapixels in size however I need to work on this @Sector035 #OSINT #Thursdayquiz!

@jtschuilenga Yup! That's it!

@Sector035 Oepsie its "de waegh". taken from Kleine Oosterstraat 2. (53.3261595,6.0001586) . Waddensea is at (53.409927, 6.160679). Approx distance 14,15km

@jtschuilenga Very, very close... But are you 100% sure that it is the old townhall? 🧐

@Sector035 First picture is the old townhall in Dokkum. The coat of arms of Dolkkum is shown in the weathervane. (Probably taken at the backside?) Second picture is at the waddensea, looking towards Schiermonnikoog. The ferry and the lighthouse can be seen. approx 14,34 km

@MCantow That is as close as I got it too 👌 Very nice!

@Sector035 14,14 km

@Makkendam That's pretty close to what I got 👌
