1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:04,370
The next search engine that I would like to show you is called Yandex.

2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:13,430
Yandex is a Russian search engine that has some exclusive search operators that Google and Bing don't

3
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:14,120
have.

4
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:20,480
And I would like to cover two such operators that will help you to find more information and to narrow

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,350
down your search.

6
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:26,930
And as we said before, using different search engines might help you to find additional information

7
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:30,410
that you weren't able to find on Google or Bing.

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:39,020
In addition to that, one of the best and coolest features that Yandex has is its ability to recognize

9
00:00:39,020 --> 00:00:45,200
faces from pictures, which is something that I would like to cover in the image Osint section.

10
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:50,570
So to use Yandex, all you have to do is to go to Yandex Dotcom.

11
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:54,920
And the first thing that I would like to search for is Rishi Kabra.

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,130
And I'm going to put this into two quotation marks.

13
00:00:58,190 --> 00:01:02,370
And most of the search operators that we learned so far.

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:09,930
Work with Yandex so you can use the site operator, you can use the quotation marks, the minus, etc..

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,590
So here we can find some information about Rishi Kabra.

16
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:19,320
Most of these information are information that we have gathered and we have in our notes.

17
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:27,330
And one very important thing that I would like to show you is that sometimes Yandex has a saved copy

18
00:01:27,330 --> 00:01:29,850
or a cached copy of a certain page.

19
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:36,150
So for example, when you go to this URL, you're going to see that there are three dots.

20
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:40,620
You want to click on these and you will see the option saved copy.

21
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:42,090
And you can open it.

22
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:44,490
And then a saved copy will be opened.

23
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:49,230
And we can see that this copy is from 11th December 2023.

24
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:56,580
So what I normally do is that when I search on Google and find a certain page that is not available

25
00:01:56,580 --> 00:02:03,960
anymore and Google doesn't have a saved copy of this page, then I go to Bing and Yandex and search

26
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:11,910
for the exact same URL or the title, and sometimes I'll be able to find a saved copy on Yandex or Bing.

27
00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:18,300
Another thing that you will notice about Yandex is that you cannot see the number of search results.

28
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:24,870
One search result that captured my attention is this one because we can see the username Rishi Kapoor.

29
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:31,590
132 which is something that we have captured before, and we know that he uses this username and underscore

30
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:32,490
rk.

31
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,330
132 is also something that he used on Twitter.

32
00:02:36,330 --> 00:02:38,610
And here are some information about him.

33
00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:41,250
So we know that this is his account.

34
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,750
I'm going to open the URL so we can see Rishi Kabra profile picture that we have seen previously.

35
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:55,980
And we can see that his works at client and his product manager, his Twitter username again and his

36
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:56,880
location.

37
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:03,490
We can scroll down and find some information about him like he likes video games, music and football.

38
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:08,890
And we can also see his LinkedIn profile, which is also something that we have gathered before.

39
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:16,360
So since we don't have this account in our notes, I'm going to copy the URL and put it in here.

40
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:21,760
Another thing that I would like to show you that is unique about Yandex is that when you click on this

41
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,180
setting icon, you can select the time period and you can see that you can select the last day, last

42
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,950
two weeks or last month.

43
00:03:29,950 --> 00:03:36,610
But what if you want to find a certain information that were indexed in a certain day, or in a certain

44
00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:38,650
week, or in a certain year?

45
00:03:38,650 --> 00:03:42,580
So to do this, we are going to use the date search operator.

46
00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:47,860
And this search operator will allow you to find search results in a specific date.

47
00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:50,170
And using it is very simple.

48
00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:58,030
You just have to say date and then the year or date, and then the year and the month or date, the

49
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:01,030
year and then the month and then the day.

50
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:09,900
And if you want to specify a specific range, then you can say from 2023 to 2022 or for example, you

51
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:17,610
can say date and then greater than or less than symbol, and then the year and the month and the day

52
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:18,690
if you want to.

53
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,390
So to use the date search operator, I'm going to add the word date.

54
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:30,600
And then I'm going to find all the search results that were indexed or found in the year 2020.

55
00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:32,100
Then I'm going to hit enter.

56
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:35,730
And here are all the search results from the year 2020.

57
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,720
I can say 2020 zero one for example.

58
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,560
And as you can see we have less search results.

59
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:50,280
Or I can say all the search results that were indexed between the year 2022 and 2023.

60
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:52,110
Then I'm going to hit enter.

61
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:56,880
And as you can see, we were able to filter the search results.

62
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,200
And we don't need to specify the time period because we are so limited when we use this function.

63
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,500
If you are searching for a company and you want to find information about a certain website, then you

64
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:17,580
can use this exclusive search operator that only works with Yandex, which is called our host.

65
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:21,600
And our host will allow you to find a website's subdomains.

66
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:28,260
Using it is a little bit tricky because you want to specify the search operator first, and then the

67
00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:35,460
top level domain for example.com, dotnet.org, etc., and then the second level domain, and then dot

68
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:39,750
and then star, which is an asterisk or a wildcard.

69
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:46,950
So to show you what I mean, if I want to find the subdomains that were indexed by Yandex for the website

70
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:50,700
cyberstalk, all I have to do is just to say our host.

71
00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:58,260
And then I'm going to say org, which is the top level domain, and then I'm going to say cyber sudo

72
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,710
and then dot and then an asterisk.

73
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:08,830
So it's the top level domain first, and then the second level domain, and then an asterisk.

74
00:06:08,830 --> 00:06:10,810
And then I'm going to hit enter.

75
00:06:10,810 --> 00:06:17,110
And as you can see we were able to find the sub domain of cyber pseudo which is Academy cyberstalk which

76
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:20,170
is an old domain that I have used two years ago.

77
00:06:20,170 --> 00:06:23,410
And it is still indexed in Yandex.

78
00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:28,990
So if I open this URL you can see that it is not available anymore.

79
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:35,020
So in this lecture you have learned how you can use Yandex search engine in addition to exclusive search

80
00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:35,680
operators.

81
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:42,910
The first one was date that will specify a specific date to find a certain search result, and the second

82
00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:46,480
one is our host to find the subdomains of a certain company.

83
00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:51,340
We have also learned how you can find a saved copy of a certain page.

84
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:59,230
So if the page was removed or was not available on Google and Bing, then you can use Yandex to see

85
00:06:59,230 --> 00:07:05,620
if there is a cached or saved copy, and then see the information that was removed from the internet.
