Indicator’s November members-only workshop was held last Friday. I gave a hands on demo of how to find interesting and potentially confidential documents sitting on a publicly-accessible server or website. I also looked at some of the tools and approaches I used to find thousands of undisclosed ads that flooded TikTok in order to deceptively sell AI study apps.
Below is a video of the session as well as links to a transcript, the slides, and a document with AI-generated notes. Our next workshop will be in December, likely on the 18. I’ll give a rundown of the best new and updated OSINT and digital investigative tools of 2025!
If you’re not a member, you can upgrade to access the materials, as well as the videos and transcripts from all of our previous workshops.
