Hi. I regularly get asked for free training sessions & workshops and love sharing research skills, so I've made these tutorials on YouTube with more coming. I hope it helps.

For anyone interested in OSINT or online investigations, this course is a no brainer - from the OSINT 🐐 himself and one of the best investigators out there.
Over the past few years, lots of folks have asked me how to get into open source analysis. Not just techniques, but writing findings, visuals, privacy, ethics & running investigations.
So I spent the past few months building a proper answer - a full course. Here it is.

Anyone interested in OSINT or modern journalism should browse Ben’s extensive course. More useful than anything you’d pay thousands for. He’s done it for years, knows everything worth knowing, & most importantly teaches the investigative mindset - not just tools - that lasts.

I've been trying to keep up with the growing number of reports of AI acting beyond instructions and limits, so I built this small project to track what devs and researchers have disclosed.
73 cases so far, summarised and linked to their source: benjaminstrick.com/ai-overreach-t…

I took inspiration from the tv show WestWorld, because good robots vs bad ones seemed appropriate.

This is not the New York Times Monday edition. This is an AI-generated fake to push a narrative.

*🚨 نيويورك تايمز تفضح جيش دويلة الشر ام الموبقات جارة السوء*
صور الأقمار الصناعية اللي نشرتها نيويورك تايمز اليوم أكدت الفضيحة:
الضربة الجوية اللي قتلت أهلنا الدهابة في الشمالية ما كانت على الحدود، كانت *على عمق 40 كيلومتر داخل السودان، جنوب خط 22°*
يعني دخول متعمد وانتهاك قالت:
- الضربة يوم 10 أكتوبر دمرت موقع كامل للمدنيين
- عشرات الشهداء (منظمة Emergency Lawyers بتقول 72 شهيد على الأقل وناجين بيقولوا 200+)
- الجيش السوداني ساكت وبيقول "بنحقق"
- ومصر الرسمية رافضة تعلق، ووزير خارجيتها طالع يقول "روابط أخوية"!
ده تاني قصف في نفس المنطقة بعد مجزرة يونيو الفات.
لما جيشك يسيب حدودك تنقصف ومواطنينك يموتوا تحت القصف الأجنبي وهو يتفرج، يبقى ده ما جيش وطني، ده جيش بيحمي مصالح جارة السوء وبيهتف *"تحيا مصر ويموت السودان"*.
السيادة لا تباع بذهب الشمال.
الدم السوداني ما رخيص.

Whoever made this fake clearly hasn't met a map before.
The fake article claims an airstrike was 'south of lat 22' but then shows the dot north of the lat 22 line.

I saw a lot of impressive pieces over the past month in the digital investigations & OSINT space.
Here's five to bookmark and check out 👇
1. youtube.com/watch?v=FBeMrU…: Almost four years of community detective work by @georainbolt and the team to find where a photograph of a womaas taken.
2. youtube.com/watch?v=g3toZw…: @bilawalsidhu and a growing community are bringing scattered public datasets together in an open-source mapping project.
3. x.com/thomasbordeaux…: @ThomasBordeaux7 & @Gabor_Friesen geolocated scenes from a journalist’s 2012 captivity video, contributing to the wider investigation into his disappearance.
4. theguardian.com/global-develop…: Important reporting by @guardian, combining survivor testimony, satellite imagery and verified footage to document rebel forces’ destruction of Rohingya villages in Rakhine, Myanmar.
5. x.com/Nrg8000/status…: @Nrg8000 preserved high-resolution aerial imagery of northern Gaza from GovMap, where parts were subsequently obscured again. See it on @SoarAtlas here: soaratlas.com/maps/asia-isra…
These were in my OSINT Field Notes newsletter. Here's the full thing:

Looks like this imagery has now been removed from Israel's GovMaps. I'll work on getting the archived version up somewhere ASAP

Satellite maps can hide a lot. A fake forest covers a military base in Russia, another covers a government area in South Korea.
So I published a video on the free tools you can use to check edits and trust satellite imagery. Link below 👇

The video filmed from the school in Tupche is a very sad instance. The scale of the flood came in at such a force that it wiped out most of the community.
The @vantortech imagery of before and after shows it very clear.

नेपाल त्रासदी का वो वीडियो जो पहले सोशल मीडिया पर अपलोड नहीं हुआ था ।
कल एक मीडिया पोर्टल Nepal7 द्वारा सोशल मीडिया पेज पर अपलोड किया गया है कैसे कुछ मिनटो में सब कुछ तबाह हुआ इस वीडियो में देखे खौफनाक मंजर।

I've just published this month's edition of OSINT Field Notes. The focus is on how tech supports disaster situations, especially after the horrible Nepal floods.
Here's 10 interesting links worth checking out if you're interested in open source analysis during disasters 👇

10. Not necessarily a tool, but more a story from @Reddit's 'whereisthis', where someone posted an image of a tour guide from Nepal, trying to help their friend identify their last known whereabouts. The community identified the location shortly after.
