GeoConfirmed Information. With GeoConfirmed we aim to support and strengthen the OSINT community: the genuine OSINT community, not the engagment farmers using 'OSINT' for attention (and the money it provides). In addition to our core work on conflict-related mapping, where we provide source attribution and verified geolocations produced by the broader geolocation community, we are also developing several complementary projects: We are gratefull for @UAControlMap, whose frontline tracking is embedded in our Ukraine conflict map. We are also building an order of battle (ORBAT) system to connect mapped locations with the units involved. For the Ukraine conflict map, this effort is made possible thanks to @WarUnitObserver. In parallel, we are developing an equipment overview thanks to armsnet.app. Together, these three elements now make it possible to link a single location with specific units and equipment. Finally, we are in the final stages of developing a curated bookmark page "GeoConfirmed Toolkit" featuring geolocation / OSINT tools (see image). Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute meaningfully to the OSINT community. Our website is geoconfirmed.org. By logging in, you gain full access to all available features (some not implemented yet). We do not collect information about your location, nor do we use advertising or tracking cookies. Your privacy is a priority for us. GeoConfirmed is currently looking for additional volunteers: Priority: Information managers (responsible for verifying and adding data to our maps) [Our backlog keeps getting bigger] Others: - Geolocators - ORBAT specialists - Equipment analysts If you are interested in contributing to our work, please send us a private message via our channel, but: Objectivity is one of our core principles. We do not seek or support engagement-driven contributors or individuals primarily motivated by the attention associated with GeoConfirmed. All new volunteers undergo a trial period and are only accepted upon approval by the GeoConfirmed admin team. We would like to express our gratitude to @bellingcat, @Cen4infoRes, @BBC Verify, @snopes, and similar projects. They are OSINT beacons in a world filled with disinformation and misinformation. We are also very grateful to all volunteer geolocators for their invaluable contributions. THANKS! Keep up the good work. PS: Everything is a continuous work in progress: the ORBATs, toolkit, equipment overview, and map will never be fully finished.
