OSINT:
Geolocation & Imagery Intelligence
Guides for locating images via EXIF, satellites, shadows, and maps
Chronolocation
Techniques for determining when an image or video was captured using sun position, shadows, seasonal cues, and metadata analysis.
Geolocation Verification
Techniques for verifying geographic locations using satellite imagery, landmark analysis, shadow angles, and metadata to confirm or dispute claimed locations.
Image Geolocation
Techniques for extracting geolocation data from images using metadata, visual landmarks, shadow analysis, and reverse image search to pinpoint locations.
Satellite and Aerial Imagery
Techniques for analysing satellite and aerial imagery to extract geolocation data, identify locations, and support OSINT investigations using open-source tools.
Street-Level and Map Intelligence
Techniques for extracting geolocation data from street-level imagery and maps, covering metadata analysis, landmark identification, and spatial correlation methods.
Geolocation intelligence extracts physical location data from digital sources. Image metadata (EXIF) often contains GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device information that pinpoints where and when a photo was taken.
When metadata is stripped, visual analysis of landmarks, street signs, vegetation, and architectural styles narrows down locations. Satellite imagery and street-level photography from public sources verify claimed locations and reveal physical security details like camera placements, access points, and facility layouts.
