Using a '?' as a wildcard for up to two unknown characters, you can retrieve results showing the vehicleโ€™s full registration, colour, make, and tax/MOT status. When combined with an image, filtering by colour and make is a powerful technique to identify the correct registration. ๐Ÿ”— Explore the tool: partialnumberplate.co.uk/ โœ๏ธ This OSINT tip was created by @AccessOSINT.

๐Ÿ” Investigating Usernames: #OSINT Tips Username searching is a fundamental OSINT technique for mapping an individualโ€™s digital footprint across various platforms. By leveraging specialised tools, investigators can efficiently identify where a username is active and gather valuable OSINT. โ“ How They Work These tools operate by utilising the unique URL structures of different websites. By inputting a username, the tools send requests to each platformโ€™s profile URL to check for the existence of an active page. If the profile exists, it confirms the presence; otherwise, it flags an error. Advanced tools like Social Analyzer further analyse metadata, visualise connections, and provide detailed summaries for a more in-depth understanding. ๐ŸŒ Web Applications โœจ What's My Name Created by @WebBreacher and hosted by @osintcombine, What's My Name scans over 668 websites directly from your browser. It allows you to quickly identify active profiles without any installations. ๐Ÿ”— whatsmyname.app โœจ OSINT Rocks This platform integrates CLI tools like Sherlock and Maigret into a user-friendly web interface. Ideal for users who prefer a web-based approach while leveraging robust backend capabilities. ๐Ÿ”— osint.rocks โœจ @AnalyzeID AnalyzeID searches across 80 social sites, providing a summary of the usernameโ€™s online presence. It helps you gather detailed information about the individual behind the profile with ease. ๐Ÿ”— analyzeid.com/username/ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ CLI Tools ๐Ÿ’ป Sherlock Developed by @sidheart, Sherlock is an open-source tool that searches for a username across 400+ platforms, offering extensive customisation for advanced investigations. ๐Ÿ”— github.com/sherlock-project/โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’ป Maigret Created by @Sox0j, Maigret expands search capabilities to over 3000 sites, delivering more comprehensive and in-depth results compared to its predecessors. ๐Ÿ”— github.com/soxoj/maigret/ (fork of Sherlock) ๐Ÿ’ป WhatsMyName CLI Also by @WebBreacher, this command-line version of What's My Name facilitates robust, site-wide searches across 669 platforms, ideal for those who prefer terminal-based operations. ๐Ÿ”— github.com/WebBreacher/Whatsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ’ป Social Analyzer Developed by @qeeqbox, Social Analyzer offers advanced features such as metadata extraction, multi-profile correlation, and customizable search options, making it a powerful tool for thorough investigations. ๐Ÿ”— github.com/qeeqbox/social-anโ€ฆ
