Monthly OSINT News & Tools - September 2022

This week, Micah (@WebBreacher), Christina (@ChristinaLekati),
and Nico (@dutch_osintguy) talked about this month's #OSINT News,
Tools and Blogs.  


They started by discussing a new blog post by Theo Baxter
(@T-Baxter90) on investigating violent and distressing content
through an OSINT investigation. Two additional resources were
recommended by our team, as complementary reading/viewing
material to this very important topic. They also discussed their
new OSINT Curious blog post “Find Company Data With A
Programmable Search Engine”, written by @nixintel.  


Micah, Christina, and Nico went on showcasing and discussing some
new interesting tools, including a tool that conducts url scans,
a database of landmarks, and Instagram's new map feature that
allows you to view the public stories from specific locations.
They also showcased how to change user agent in Chrome, using
built-in features.  


Last, this week's OSINT Curious team discussed some recent
community projects and contributions that our listeners and
viewers could find both useful and entertaining. If you did not
have enough of OSINT goodness this week, head out to the videos
that our team produced, in collaboration with David Bombal
(details in the links below).
