1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,060 The next Google operator that I would like to show you is called in URL. 2 00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:11,810 And this will basically tell the search engine to only look for a specific keyword in the URL. 3 00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:18,410 For example, here we are searching for the word Sathyaraj, and we can see that we have 103,000 search 4 00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:19,250 results. 5 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,760 And when we use the URL, we're only looking for the name Sathyaraj in the URL. 6 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:32,150 And we have only got three search results, so you can already see how much time and effort this will 7 00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:32,930 save us. 8 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,830 Now we have gathered the accounts that we found on Google that belonged to Rishi Kabra. 9 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:47,030 So what I always like to do is to search for each username that I have gathered that are in my notepad 10 00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:50,360 in Google, using the internal search operator. 11 00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:52,310 So let me show you an example. 12 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:54,260 I'm going to copy this username. 13 00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:57,680 So he uses this username on github.com. 14 00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:05,810 And then I'm going to go to Google and say in URL and then add the username and hit enter. 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:13,700 so we can see that he has a GitHub account, which is something that we have already gathered, and 16 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,160 another account on diff blog. 17 00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:20,480 And as you can see, he has the exact same picture. 18 00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:25,700 So I can also copy this account and put it in my notes. 19 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:31,370 And you can also see that he mentioned his GitHub account on this blog. 20 00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:36,020 And he's following only one person, which is this one. 21 00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:42,620 Next I'm going to show you the R operator that will search for a given search term or an equivalent 22 00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:43,370 term. 23 00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:46,340 So here I'm using four search operators. 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:55,220 I'm telling Google to search for the name Siraj on twitter.com or on facebook.com, and you can see 25 00:01:55,220 --> 00:02:03,020 that we've got 144 search results because we are looking for the name Siraj within twitter.com and within 26 00:02:03,020 --> 00:02:04,280 facebook.com. 27 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,680 So here is an example. 28 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,240 Here we are searching for the name Rishi Kabra in facebook.com or on twitter.com. 29 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,070 So let me hit enter. 30 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:20,160 And there's one very important thing that I need to mention which is the or has to be written like this. 31 00:02:20,190 --> 00:02:22,680 It has to be written in capital letters. 32 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:25,080 Now, I'm not going through the search results. 33 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:33,120 I just wanted to show you how you can use this search operator in title is another search operator that 34 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,360 could show you a search term within a title of the page. 35 00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:41,700 So here in this example I'm saying in title Saad Sarraj. 36 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:48,570 And this will show me search results of the name Saad Siraj in the title of the page, as you can see 37 00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:49,230 here. 38 00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:55,650 Now if we looked at the search operator again, we can see that I have specified in title and then Saad 39 00:02:55,650 --> 00:02:58,080 and then Dot and then Siraj. 40 00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:02,490 Dot is basically a space and this is why I've used it. 41 00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:05,940 And you can see that I have not got the dot in the search results. 42 00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:08,100 I've only got the name Saad Siraj. 43 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,600 So here is an example to find information about Rishi Kabra. 44 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:13,710 I'm going to hit enter. 45 00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:21,150 And now you can see that we have 210 Ten search results and we can see the name Rishi Kabra in the title. 46 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,420 So this search operator will only look for the name Rishi Kabra and the title of the search results, 47 00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:30,240 and will not show you any middle names. 48 00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:35,880 Of course, when you are conducting an Osint search about a company or a person, then you need to go 49 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240 through the search results to find more information. 50 00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:43,590 Next, I would like to show you the asterisk. 51 00:03:44,010 --> 00:03:51,690 And this search operator acts as a placeholder for one or more words, and I like to use this operator 52 00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:55,980 to find the person, middle name, or any missing information. 53 00:03:56,010 --> 00:04:03,300 So if we looked at the screenshot, we can see that we have specified z and then asterisk sub e which 54 00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:07,440 looks for any information between two of these words. 55 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,100 So we can see the search result Syed al Kabir. 56 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:15,630 Now let me show you a real life example. 57 00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:19,950 I'm going to add a person that we are looking for which is Rishi Kabra. 58 00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:21,990 But within these two walls. 59 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:25,440 I'm going to add an asterisk and then I'm going to hit enter. 60 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,530 So the first search result that we can see is a Substack account. 61 00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:36,000 And we can see that there is a person's name Rishi Raj Kabra. 62 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:43,050 So let me open this account and you can scroll down a little bit. 63 00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:47,730 And you can see that he is the product manager at Contact Out. 64 00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:49,680 So we know that this is his account. 65 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,820 And this account has been created recently as you can see here. 66 00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:58,140 And we also know that his name is Rishi Raj Kabra. 67 00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:01,980 So I'm going to take a screenshot and put it in my notes. 68 00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:08,040 So next we can search for the name Rishiraj Kabra and see what information we can find. 69 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:14,760 Now let's say that you would like to exclude a certain search term from appearing in search results. 70 00:05:15,090 --> 00:05:18,570 In this case you can use the minus search operator. 71 00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:26,890 So as you can see in this example, I have searched for my name and I wanted to exclude all the search 72 00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:30,040 results from the website cyber suited at org. 73 00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:34,690 Now let me show you a real life example. 74 00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:42,190 I'm going to search for Rishi Kabra and then hit enter and you can see that we have got 2580 search 75 00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:43,000 results. 76 00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:47,470 So we can see that there is another person called Rishi Kabra. 77 00:05:47,470 --> 00:05:54,220 And if we scroll down a little bit, we can see that he works at multi Green score. 78 00:05:54,250 --> 00:06:01,510 So what we can do is remove the word multi green from appearing from search results. 79 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,990 So we can say minus and then multi green within two quotation marks. 80 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,160 And now we can see that we have excluded this search result. 81 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,890 And we cannot see his picture anymore. 82 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,910 So we can also see some search results from LinkedIn. 83 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:23,740 What I can do is exclude all the search results from LinkedIn.com. 84 00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:28,660 So now I can say minus site and then LinkedIn.com. 85 00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:38,890 And now we only have 1800 search results, and none of the search results are from LinkedIn.com or contain 86 00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:40,480 the word Motley Green. 87 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:48,040 Another very important search operator that you can use, not only on Google but also on other search 88 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,930 engines is called site. 89 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,930 And this search operator will allow you to search for a specific website. 90 00:06:56,410 --> 00:07:03,190 We can also combine the double quotes search operator to find a certain term on this website. 91 00:07:03,610 --> 00:07:05,680 So let's look at this screenshot. 92 00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:13,000 We can see that we are searching for Z Security.org and Sathyaraj without specifying any search operator. 93 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:16,480 And you can see that we have got 28,000 search results. 94 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:24,700 And if we specify the name Sathyaraj within double quotation marks and we specified site and then Z 95 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:29,890 security.org, we can see that we only have 46 results. 96 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,520 Here I have searched for Rishi Kabra and we have got 2870 search results. 97 00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:45,110 What I can do is say, show me all the search results that are from facebook.com, from example, that 98 00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:47,600 are related with the name Rishi Kabra. 99 00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:49,850 So let's see what we can get. 100 00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:54,830 Now we have way less search results. 101 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:59,240 I'm going to scroll down and open this page and this page. 102 00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:05,150 So we can see that this is not related to the person that we are looking for. 103 00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:07,190 He has a different picture. 104 00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:13,580 And if we opened and looked at the second page, we can see that this is the exact same picture that 105 00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:16,640 we have seen on different social media accounts. 106 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:23,660 And you will learn how you can use facial recognition tools to search for an image across the internet, 107 00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:27,890 which is something that we are going to cover in the next chapters. 108 00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:33,890 And if you looked at the URL, you can see that his name is also Rishi Raj Kabra. 109 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,950 I'm going to copy this and put it in my notes. 110 00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:43,160 So later we are going to search for this name and see what information we can get.
