1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,350 After creating your virtual machine or downloading a certain browser that you are going to use throughout 2 00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:13,760 this Osint investigation, and choosing which online identity you would like to use, the next step 3 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,770 is to create an email address. 4 00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:22,910 Now the problem when creating an email address like a Gmail or Outlook email address, is that they 5 00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:29,900 always ask you to enter your current email address, and we don't want our Sockpuppet account to be 6 00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:37,940 associated with our personal identity, which is why we are going to use an email provider called Fastmail. 7 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,920 So to create a fast mail email address, you want to go to fast gmail.com. 8 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:49,250 And then you want to click on try for free because they have a subscription, but you can actually try 9 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:50,660 the service for 30 days. 10 00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:53,390 And this is usually more than enough. 11 00:00:53,390 --> 00:00:59,630 And you don't need to enter your credit card details so you can add the name that you have chosen, 12 00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:01,760 and then you can choose your email address. 13 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,670 For example, any online identity that you want to use and if you are searching for someone or if you 14 00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:14,350 are living in the United States, for example, then I highly recommend you select, for example Fastmail. 15 00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:15,490 Us. 16 00:01:15,490 --> 00:01:21,280 And if you are not living in the United States, for example, you are living in Germany or Spain, 17 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,450 then I recommend you use the top level domain of your country. 18 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:32,110 For example, I can say D for Germany and then I can set a password and create my free account. 19 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,750 After you create a fastmail email address, you need to verify this email address with the phone number. 20 00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:43,780 And since we do not want to use our personal phone number because we want to separate our online covered 21 00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:46,060 account with our personal identity. 22 00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:49,060 So to do this, we need to get a burner phone number. 23 00:01:49,060 --> 00:01:54,790 And a burner number means that this number is not related to your real identity. 24 00:01:54,790 --> 00:02:01,900 So in this case, you want to choose a prepaid card that can be activated without an ID. 25 00:02:03,130 --> 00:02:08,470 So if you are living in the United States, then you can get a mint mobile phone number. 26 00:02:08,470 --> 00:02:10,120 It only costs $2. 27 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,970 You can buy it from Best Buy or from Amazon, and I think from their official website as well. 28 00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:23,140 And you'll get 250MB for free and 250 texts and 250 minutes, which I think is enough. 29 00:02:23,140 --> 00:02:30,910 And you need to use the SIM card to activate your email address and activate your social media accounts. 30 00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:36,520 And if you are living in the European Union, then you can use a SIM card from Lebara from Netherland. 31 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,240 It can be activated by sending an SMS. 32 00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:44,110 So now you have a fast mail email and a burner number. 33 00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:50,290 The next step is to go to a library or a coffee to create your accounts, because if you use a VPN, 34 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:57,280 then Facebook will detect that you are using a VPN and would immediately ask you to add additional information 35 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,450 like a phone number. 36 00:02:58,450 --> 00:03:02,860 And sometimes it will ask you to add your personal picture to your profile. 37 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,930 And this is why it's very important to go to a library or a cafe to create your accounts. 38 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:14,110 After this, you need to keep your accounts active by following some pages, liking some posts, and 39 00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:15,700 adding friends, etc.. 40 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:23,200 And you need to log in at least twice a week so that Facebook or Instagram or any other account doesn't 41 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,110 think that you have created a fake account. 42 00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:33,190 In addition to that, to make your account even more believable, I highly recommend you add two factor 43 00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:34,300 authentication. 44 00:03:34,450 --> 00:03:39,870 This will tell Facebook, Instagram and all other social media platforms that you are serious about 45 00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:46,320 your account and only people who want to secure their account use two factor authentication. 46 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:48,420 So let's recap this. 47 00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:54,990 First of all, you need to create a virtual machine or use a different browser and then choose an online 48 00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:59,190 identity that you want to use to search for a certain person. 49 00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:03,210 Once you choose your online identity, you need to create an email address. 50 00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:06,570 And we are using Fastmail because it's still unknown. 51 00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:13,290 And I think that at some point Facebook or any other social media platform will put it under its suspicious 52 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,380 email providers because this happens all the time. 53 00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:21,150 And next you want to activate your fastmail email with a burner phone number. 54 00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:26,580 And after that, you want to go to a library or a coffee to create your accounts so that we can make 55 00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:27,150 it legit. 56 00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:31,470 And then you can create your accounts, and you want to make sure that you want to keep these accounts 57 00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:38,340 active by posting, liking, maybe commenting, following pages, etc. and you need to log in at least 58 00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:42,570 twice a week so that Facebook doesn't think that this is a fake account. 59 00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:47,940 And in addition to that, you can use two factor authentication to make your account less suspicious.
