You can do reverse imaging on web for more than 10 years now. Nothing new here, except there are way faster and simpler tools for this, what tell you the coordinate of the place on the image in a second. And before that, it was the same, but took longer, since you had to compare your image/info with the offline google aka public archives and/or libraries.

Excellent video, David. Thank you! I’d love to see geo-location for country side and rural roads that don’t have much unique details like signs and buildings. It’s very challenging but if there are experts that know how to geo-locate in those environments, it would be super helpful.

Great vlog David! This OSINT Content is super informative and awesome! You've got to have them back on the channel!

That was amazing video, and I’m surprised how accurate location you can find just from the photos. I can’t wait for more OSINT videos !

These days you are teaching us on a high level. Love you.

My cousin shared the link to your video. It's very informative! I can use the techniques to help locate runaways. Thanks so much!

Loved it. Very enjoyable to listen to all these tips. The more we know about about how to use the tools, the less we can share about our lives online. We can also instruct friends and family about how to stay safe. So, yes, I would love to hear more from these folks. Michael Bazelle would be a great guest as well. The more I learn about cell phones, the more I am moved to an alternative, non-Google phone running Open Android, Lineage, Calyx, or whatever. So, cellphone alternatives would be another great video. Thanks!

Your content has been off the charts ! Please keep moving forward with more like this!

Good video, as someone that's been acquainted with these tools for quite a while, I still learned something new. (Tineye and how bing can do a visual search for example).

It literally took me 2 min to find the one in Amsterdam, I didn't cheat, but I have been a couple of times, I used the house boats as my focal point and a couple of key buildings, nothing else, I used an Isometric 3d view in google street view to quickly go down the canal streets to find the building colour and shape patters I was looking for, then cross match against potential house boats. Loved this vid thanks, lots of helpful tips and tricks. Interestingly the blue painted boat disappears after 2017 it seems.

I love your channel... love OSINT curious. Thank you David and crew. This is super interesting.

The Boss at his best! Thank you for your great educational content. Respect 🙏

I’m doing a similar approach when hunting for apartment or houses and the Immobilien companies don’t share full address. Then I used images and Google Earth and Maps to find the exact address. Works 95% for my needs. And kind of fun and satisfying

Amazing video! Thanks! Although I do a lot of geoguessing the quiztime osint challenges - I still managed to learn new tricks from it. Great stuff. More plz!

Great video David you guests made an excellent and detailed explanantion for viewers. I wonder if you could do something similar with text , not commonly used quotes (too easy) but say something being posted on a website or social media to pin down when it was posted and its origional source?

Being trained by Shin Bet , other platforms were used using up to date technology. Great platform you have created and great to see another ex countryman succeed. Keep it up boet.

Hi David I did the same before watching this video with little bit challenges I completed the task successfully. now after watching this vide I can do the it with more effectively. thanks man for a informatic video.

cool! wish they also talked about using buildings in line of sight. in cities, there a lot of identifiable buildings. using how two buildings line up, get an arc (line). then do the same on another part of the photo. point of intersection of the two lines is the location. guess ive been doing this for a while out of curiousity. haha congrats on 1mil!

Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your vidoes!

What a fantastic video. Brilliant 👏

Great video! I was able to use this to impress my son by geolocating him from a random picture he sent me.

The first statement should be to check if the image had GPS/DateTime stamp enabled. Most people are instructed to turn it off.

Yes! Definitely do more of these!!!

Yes more OSINT please. Maybe have your subscribers submit photos with the data stripped and see if they can find the location. Knowing nothing about the photo will be more of a challenge.

Cool thank you! These are helpful tips.

OSINT!!!!!!!

a good method for starters, but there are much more sophisticated methods to anlalyze not only location, but the time and date, IMEI of device used to take photo, who bought it, and where they are now, and their behavioral habits, to predict where they will be next. Stripping the metadata first is important when uploading images

Enjoyed the video! More, please!

Congrats on a million sub David

Great tips! Thanks for taking the time. A few notes I noticed: 5:12 Be careful using AI cleanup tools on images to be used in further research. AI fills that info like a toddler colors - by looking at everything it has seen before and guessing at what it should look like. If previous examples were really good, the result can be too, but AI _ALWAYS_ has an error rate. This means that the more you "fix" the more likely the wrong things will get filled in. Another issue is that this Egyptian wall has many easily identifiable features. AI is much more likely to get more general landscapes or cityscapes wrong because there are more example 'memories' to draw from. 18:57 Also be VERY careful to vet any extensions you install into your browser. Many threat alerts have come out in the last few years showing extensions and apps on all app stores that work just as advertised but _also_ send data or install malware in the background. 21:27 Google Lens is trained to be tailored _to you_ so the more you use it, the better its results get. (I own a Pixel phone that said so. If this is no longer the case, please alert me.) 45:01 The _gps locs_ are accurate to centimeters, but the _camera's recording of gpc location_ is only accurate to a few meters, and is limited by national government control of imaging satellites. While satellites _can_ get the location to within centimeters, this detail is restricted to government and military use.

I don't think the AI cleanup will be a problem at all considering one of their steps is verification they got the location correct. They aren't coloring like a toddler then claiming that result is all that's needed lol

@@AutarchKade please hit read more and read that whole section. You're oversimplifying the problem. The more you tell AI to paint in, the more likely it will fill with things that look right but are from other places. Because most current AI can be very good at this, humans often don't notice the difference -subtle things like using French chimneys or window shutters instead of Swedish ones - and that can drastically chance the error rate even with careful verification.
