Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller hung out in his Dumbo apartment. Using photos from his @instagram and an article from the @dailymail we're able to figure out where he lives. Come see how!

    Bro just showed us 0.5% of 4chan's power 😮😮😮

    This is incredible, just learnt a bit about what OSINT is and my mind is opened how public certain information is
  • @TheMakenator
    it is even possible to try to re-arrange the view out of the window in google earth and then carefully turn 180° with a pretty much similar result ;) maybe it is even possible to use the 3D-line function from the tall building through the bridge to the house - not tested though... thank you for this great tutorial!

    First video I've watched from your channel and I'm a subscriber now! The editing, the content, everything was very well made! This channel can become the MKBHD of Open-Source Intellingence and everything intelligence related!❤

    There are so many ways to get to the goal - always nice to get some new inspiration! Keep it up! Also tried to find it by myself before watching the video, but invested a bit more time googling some pictures to see what those posters on the door say. One of them said something like "Service entrance Water Street", so even without knowing the area Dumbo you would be able to find it pretty fast. Things are really transparent these days.

    Was waiting for this video for a while! So good mate! Keep going!
  • @teachmecyber
    Nice investigation! I love the disclaimer of not waiting for the dude to walk his dog 🤣
  • @thatocyberspace
    This is so scary. Indeed the internet is not made for person who wanna be private.
  • @seasong7655
    I've tried to find it as well, but it took me a while because I didn't pick up on the scaffolding. But then I realized it had to be close to the water since the guy is rich and also the entrance had to be on the west side, because of the shadows in the picture.

    With NADIR imagery (straight down), you can use the measure tool to drop a point on the near-side Brooklyn Bridge arch, then a point a the top of another building, then with the last point, get the measure line to go from the top of the building through your first marker, and you'll be surpeised how close you can get. Then you can take two points, and get them to converge. In the picture of the cat, there are two buildings which line up to key points on the bridge pier that should only converge at the center of the camera's lens. Given those building's fixed heights and the fixed height of the bridge pier - you should be able to come up with a 3D point convergence along two rays. If you did this in Google Earth, you could look at the area in 3D and just line the camera position up with the camera shot - Google has those 3D models of buildings built-in. Kinda takes all the fun out of it.

    damn!! i usually dont leave comments but man! when i saw only 16k views on this video i was shocked.. it is truly a gem... liked, subscribed and commented for boost, keep up with this content!!
  • @BrendanShephard
    If you can better identify the lowest level you're able to see on "the spikey" building. Then you can probably figure out the height of said floor, I'm sure the height of that bridge is available online somewhere. So you don't just have a straight line between "spikey" building > bridge > window. You have an angled line, and that angel will tell you the exact floor.

    These are some amazing skills!! Subbed
  • @threadripper7902
    man, I am doing that way way back whenever we're intrigue or interested in something like investigation sh**. My friends used to call me a stalker when I would like to find something in the internet using google map and some pictures But I didn't know OSINT before. So, to conclude, so we're not a Stalker but an OSINT Practitioner haha Btw, I did enroll to Blue Team - Cyber Threat Hunting course. Thank you so much!
  • That was really interesting. The more I watch OSINT videos the more I feel stupid! 😅
  • @docmalitt
    Hello kind Sir, may I offer my sincere gratitude for finding your hugely underrated channel (well, that's a different story I guess) and express my admiration for your skills and say (after all those praises, ofc) that real hacker DO use terminal, not because they have to but because they enjoy it. I understand not much piping of commands in inverse picture search but hey, but if you enjoy all this I am more that willing to bet a pound (your, British, ofc) you enjoy tinkering in the terminal as well... all the best and may the force be with you.
  • @robo-
    hey Gary thanks for the great videos, you earned a new sub :)
  • @gblackhead
    Hello Gary Just because we can - it's the right most window, fourth floor from the top! 1) you can use 3D view to top over the building to get the exact position - to cover the exactly same buildings with the bridge structure - you get the right most window column 2) you can use the other way - from the high buildings accross the water body - the one on the left of the bridge, the upper compact part is exactly at the top edge of the bridge - if you align with that line on the building, the top of the bridge projects exactly at the fourth floor. 3) using 3D view on Google Maps one can clearly see the plants behins the window... Anyway - thank you for sharing that basics with all of us. 😀
