1 00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:02,570 Let's talk about Google Docs. 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:09,740 Google docs are search operators that will allow you to narrow down your search results, and can also 3 00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:16,250 be used to find some sensitive information that are not easily accessible through a regular search. 4 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:24,170 Now, Google Docs are basically used by hackers, journalists, and anyone who needs to find any specific 5 00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:25,070 information. 6 00:00:25,370 --> 00:00:32,990 I would like to show you a real life example on how we can use Google Docs to find people information. 7 00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:39,590 So we will be looking for a person called Rishi Kabra and this person works at Contact Out. 8 00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:47,090 So what we are going to do throughout this section and the next sections is to gather as much information 9 00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,110 as possible. 10 00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:54,860 So the first Google doc or search operator that I would like to show you is the double quotes. 11 00:00:55,190 --> 00:01:01,740 Now I want you to keep in mind that this search operator doesn't only work on Google, but it also works 12 00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:08,790 on Bing and Yandex, so the double quotes will only display result that exactly match your search query. 13 00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:15,960 For example, right here we have searched for the name Satyaraj and we have got 121,000 search results. 14 00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:24,270 But when we use the double quotes, we were only able to get 3550 search results, which is way less 15 00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:25,110 than before. 16 00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:28,980 So let me show you a real life example. 17 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:32,970 I'm going to be searching for Rishi Kabra and see what information we can get. 18 00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:39,330 So you can see that we have got 479,000 search results, and we cannot go through all of these search 19 00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:42,270 results because this is going to take a lot of time. 20 00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:49,440 So what we can do is put this name within two quotes like this and hit enter. 21 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,950 And now we have got 1840 search results. 22 00:01:52,950 --> 00:02:02,410 Since we know that he works at Contact Out, we can add a space and say contact out within two quotation 23 00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:03,100 marks. 24 00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:07,210 And now we only got 132 search results. 25 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:12,790 There is an alternative option that you can use to narrow down your search results without using double 26 00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:15,670 quotes, which is verbatim search. 27 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:23,020 So you can enable verbatim search by clicking on all results and then verbatim. 28 00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:29,170 But I like to use the double quotes, because the double quotes will show you how many search results 29 00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:30,070 were found. 30 00:02:31,690 --> 00:02:33,640 So I'm going to hit enter right here. 31 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,850 And you can see that we have 132 search results, which is not visible if we used verbatim search. 32 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:46,660 Now if we looked at the search results again, we can see that we have a person called Rishi Kabra and 33 00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:51,820 he is a product manager at Contact Out and he is from India, Kolkata. 34 00:02:51,850 --> 00:03:00,380 So let me open this profile to see His profile picture and we can see that this is how he looks like, 35 00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:02,690 and this is the person that we are looking for. 36 00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:06,080 So we can see that he is a product manager at Contact Out. 37 00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:09,860 We can see his profile picture and he is from India, Kolkata. 38 00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:18,260 We can also scroll down to see more information about him and his experience etc.. 39 00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:25,700 Now we'll be talking about this in the social media Osint, in which we will utilize this information 40 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,190 to get more information about this person. 41 00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:36,380 Before we continue, I would like to show you how you can take notes because notes are very important. 42 00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:42,050 So the first option that I would like to show you is called notion, which is a cloud service that will 43 00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:44,360 allow you to serve your notes on the cloud. 44 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:50,720 And if you would like to save your notes locally, you can use Keep note, which is also a good option. 45 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:59,580 Another important thing is taking screenshots and I like to use either Greenshot or Lightshot, but 46 00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:03,300 I like Greenshot more because it has more features. 47 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:09,840 But for now, I'm going to copy the URL of his LinkedIn profile and put it in my notes. 48 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,990 Now let's come back to the search results. 49 00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:17,190 We can see that he has an X account and we can read the description. 50 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:22,770 A product manager, developer, gamer, etc. and he has a different username. 51 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:25,140 So I'm going to copy the URL. 52 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,540 And then I'm going to go to a website called URL clean which will clean all the URL that are copied 53 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:34,260 from Google. 54 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:41,580 So if I pasted the URL you can see that it is a Google URL and we need to clean it using this website. 55 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,350 And now we can copy this URL and put it in our notes. 56 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Now if we scroll down a little bit we can see here that some results may have been removed under data 57 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,280 protection law in Europe. 58 00:04:55,670 --> 00:05:02,330 So if you are living in Europe, then some search results will be hidden and not displayed, and we 59 00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:05,420 will see how we can bypass this in a future lecture. 60 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,020 Another thing that I would like to show you is if you are searching for a person and you know how this 61 00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:17,870 person looks like, or you saw their profile picture on their account, for example, as we have seen 62 00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:22,130 here, what we can do is search for faces in Google. 63 00:05:22,130 --> 00:05:32,630 So you want to go to images and then you want to go to tools and then type and then select clipart. 64 00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:40,610 And once you select this you are going to replace the word clipart in the URL to the word face. 65 00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:45,140 So here we have clipart and we are going to replace it with the word face. 66 00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:54,540 And as you can see now Google only searches for faces, and the first three search results are the people 67 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:55,950 that we are looking for. 68 00:05:55,950 --> 00:06:02,640 And we can see that he has an account right here and he is using same or similar picture that he used 69 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,420 on LinkedIn. 70 00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:06,210 And he also has a GitHub account. 71 00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:10,050 So I'm going to open it and also save it in my notepad. 72 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,030 Now another thing that I would like to show you, which is if you know where this person lives, then 73 00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:25,170 you can add the person name in double quotes, as we have done here, and then put the name of the city 74 00:06:25,170 --> 00:06:26,310 where he is living. 75 00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:31,560 For example, since we know that he is living in Kolkata, we are going to say Kolkata and then hit 76 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,590 enter and then we will get some search results. 77 00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:43,020 And now we can see that we have an Ask.fm account and I'm going to copy the URL and also save it in 78 00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:43,890 my notes. 79 00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:49,810 Now if we scroll down a little bit you might see something. 80 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:58,540 For example, we can see that here we have a website that seems to be selling stuff, and we can see 81 00:06:58,540 --> 00:07:01,000 the name Kolkata and Rishi Kabra. 82 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,760 And since we know that Rishi Kabra lives in Kolkata, we might assume that he was trying to sell a sofa 83 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,990 on this website. 84 00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:13,030 So let's open the URL. 85 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,460 And as you can see, we cannot see the search result. 86 00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:21,910 We cannot see the sofa that he was trying to sell. 87 00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:29,770 So I assume that this sofa has been sold before and this offer is not available on this website anymore. 88 00:07:29,980 --> 00:07:37,540 So what we can do in this case is look, if there is a cached version of this page, let's copy the 89 00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:45,770 URL as we have done before, and then go to URL clean and put the URL right here and say clean it. 90 00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:48,110 And now we have the URL. 91 00:07:48,470 --> 00:07:54,680 So we're going to ask Google to see if there is a cached version of this page. 92 00:07:55,070 --> 00:08:01,820 Please keep in mind that not all the pages on Google are cached, and cached means that there is an 93 00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:05,360 old copy that Google has in its database. 94 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:15,200 So I'm going to open my notepad and put the URL, and at the beginning I'm going to type the word cache 95 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,940 and then a colon. 96 00:08:17,660 --> 00:08:19,700 So it's going to be cache colon. 97 00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:20,960 And then the URL. 98 00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:24,980 I'm going to copy it and paste it in a new tab. 99 00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:30,440 And as you can see we can see an old version of this page. 100 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,020 And we can also see how the server looks like. 101 00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:37,130 And we might get an ID of the apartment where he's living. 102 00:08:38,030 --> 00:08:43,580 We can also see that this is in West Bengal, in Kolkata, in this place.
