00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,440
In this lecture, I would like to show you how can you find the user ID of any Facebook account?

2
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:14,960
A user ID is a unique identifier that gets generated when you create a Facebook account, and the reason

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:23,150
why a user ID is going to be very important is because if the target has changed their username and

4
00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:28,940
their display name, and they have deleted all of their post and removed all of their information from

5
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:34,340
their Facebook profile, then it's going to be difficult to search for this person again.

6
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,480
But if you have the user ID, you can still find this account because they cannot change this ID.

7
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:48,200
So even if they change all the information on their account, you will still be able to track the account.

8
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:56,030
There is a manual way that you can use to find the user ID, and there is a service that you can use

9
00:00:56,030 --> 00:00:57,860
that will find the ID for you.

10
00:00:57,860 --> 00:01:01,940
So to do this, I'm going to the Facebook profile of my target.

11
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:09,370
And then I'm going to a blank area and right click and then view page source.

12
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:15,100
And then I'm going to search for user ID as you can see here.

13
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:16,750
And then I'm going to hit enter.

14
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:19,930
And here we have located the word user ID.

15
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:23,830
And here you can see the user ID of my target.

16
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:27,820
So let me come back to the profile in case I have the user ID.

17
00:01:27,820 --> 00:01:35,050
And this person has changed all of their information on their profile, then I just can go to the URL

18
00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:42,880
and say facebook.com slash and then the ID, and this will redirect me to the person's Facebook profile.

19
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:51,400
So I'm going to add the user ID to my notes just in case they have changed their information.

20
00:01:51,610 --> 00:01:58,270
Next I would like to show you how can you utilize this user ID to find the creation date of a Facebook

21
00:01:58,270 --> 00:01:59,020
profile?

22
00:01:59,020 --> 00:02:05,740
Now there is someone who spent a lot of time analyzing Facebook user IDs and came to the conclusion

23
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:09,480
that Facebook uses ranges to create Facebook IDs.

24
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:18,480
And here we have the table, and we can see that all the accounts that were created in 2009 has or start

25
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:21,420
with this number and ends with this number.

26
00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:30,840
And in our case we have the number or the user ID of Rishi Kabra 100000 and then 244, which is within

27
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,500
this range.

28
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:37,650
And this is how we can assume that he created his account in 2009.

29
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:42,900
So let's go to Rishi Kabra Facebook profile and go to photos.

30
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:48,900
And what I'm going to do right now is to look at the first picture he posted on his profile.

31
00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:50,760
So here is the last picture.

32
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,590
And if I clicked on it, we can see that it was in 2011.

33
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:04,350
So my assumption is that he created his account in 2009, and he posted his first picture in 2011.

34
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:09,900
Now let me show you the automatic method to find the user ID of any Facebook profile.

35
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:17,520
All you have to do is just to copy the URL of their Facebook profile and go to a website called Finded

36
00:03:17,550 --> 00:03:26,250
fb.com, and then you want to pass the user URL in here and then click on Find Numeric ID.

37
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:31,110
And as you can see this is the same ID that we have got before.

38
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:37,350
The next thing that I would like to show you is how you can save his friends list.

39
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:44,490
Now there are many Chrome and Firefox extensions that you can use that will automate this for you,

40
00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:49,350
but the problem is that Facebook will detect this and block your account.

41
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:51,030
And we don't want this.

42
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:56,520
So instead I'm just going to show you the manual method to copy their friend list.

43
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:03,150
So the first thing you want to do is you want to scroll all the way down until all the friends are displayed.

44
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,930
So you can just hold the space key on your keyboard, and this will scroll the page down.

45
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:16,070
Now I'm not going to save the one k friends, or what I'm going to do is to save the friends that are

46
00:04:16,070 --> 00:04:18,560
in his current city, which is Kolkata.

47
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,940
So here we have these friends, only these.

48
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:32,660
So all I have to do is just to select the text and scroll down all the way down until here and say copy.

49
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,530
Then you want to open Excel on your computer and select a certain cell.

50
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:42,860
I'm going to select the first cell and then say paste.

51
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:47,840
And we have here a list of his friends along with the description.

52
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:53,030
Now what if you want to only see his friends without the description.

53
00:04:53,030 --> 00:05:00,890
So in this case I'm going to click on the first field and then go to data and then click on filter.

54
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:07,040
And now I'm going to click on this arrow and say Filter by color.

55
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,870
And then select this color.

56
00:05:09,290 --> 00:05:13,250
And now we have a list of the friends along with the URL.

57
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:18,310
So whenever you click on this name then it will open their Facebook profile.

58
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:25,330
Now please make sure to save your target's friend list, because you might utilize it in the future.

59
00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:28,540
To import Facebook friends to notion.

60
00:05:28,540 --> 00:05:35,470
All you have to do is just to create a new page by clicking on add a page, and after you create a page,

61
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:38,650
I'm going to call it Friend List.

62
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:40,870
And then I'm going to hit enter.

63
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:46,060
And next you want to go to the Excel file where your friend list are.

64
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:50,890
And then I'm going to click on the A to select all friends in this column.

65
00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:53,560
And then I'll say Ctrl C to copy.

66
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:59,650
And then I'm going to go and open a word document an empty word document.

67
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:03,910
And then I'm going to paste the friend list.

68
00:06:03,910 --> 00:06:07,540
And now we have all the friends in a word document.

69
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:10,900
Now I'm going to save this file on my desktop.

70
00:06:12,610 --> 00:06:14,680
And I will go to notion.

71
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,090
And I'm going to import a word document.

72
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,150
And then I'm going to select the file that I have just saved and say open.

73
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:26,370
And then I'm going to wait until it's done.

74
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:29,460
And as you can see now we have all the friend list.

75
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:34,680
So here are the online accounts of Rishi Kamara.

76
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:38,250
We can see that we have gathered many online accounts.

77
00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:44,190
And we have also gathered his email address that we found in a document on Google.

78
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:51,660
And I have added the source URL and I have embedded the PDF file just in case it got removed from Google.

79
00:06:51,960 --> 00:07:00,690
And if you want to embed a PDF file, just click right here and then type slash and then PDF, and then

80
00:07:00,690 --> 00:07:02,160
click on PDF.

81
00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:06,420
And then you want to choose the file that you want to upload.

82
00:07:07,290 --> 00:07:09,600
I'm going to select it and then say open.

83
00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:13,890
And now my PDF file has been uploaded.

84
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:20,010
And if I want to download it in the future, I can just click on the download icon and it will be downloaded.

85
00:07:20,010 --> 00:07:26,430
So even if the document was removed from Google or any search engine, you will still be able to access

86
00:07:26,430 --> 00:07:28,530
it because you have it in your notes.

87
00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:32,280
And here are the information that we gathered from his Facebook profile.

88
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:40,890
We can see his Facebook profile URL, his user ID, his profile picture, his relatives and his birthday

89
00:07:40,890 --> 00:07:47,430
and the source that verified to us that he was born in 1st of December 1995.

90
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:54,930
And in a real life scenario, if you are presenting this as an evidence to a court, then you need to

91
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:02,430
download the picture of the post and take a screenshot when this was taken and the URL of this post.

92
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,270
And here we have the information that he posted on, or he has on his Facebook profile that he is a

93
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:13,260
product manager at Plenti and his other social media accounts.

94
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,300
And here I have his friends list.

95
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,870
So if I click on here, I can see his friends list.

96
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:19,860
All of them.

97
00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:22,110
The one k friends.
