1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,140 After gathering some basic information about the target Twitter account in this lecture, I would like 2 00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:11,060 to show you how can you use search operators to narrow down your search? 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:17,090 Now, this is very similar to what we have done when we use search operators with search engines to 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,290 narrow down our search. 5 00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:22,310 But this time we are going to use this on Twitter or X. 6 00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:27,830 The search operators are going to be different than the ones that we have used them with search engines. 7 00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:35,360 So the first two search operators that I would like to show you are from and to and from will basically 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,080 show you all the tweets from a certain person, and two will show you all the tweets or replies to a 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,330 certain Twitter or X account. 10 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:45,740 All right. 11 00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:50,510 So we already know that Rishi Kabra has only two tweets as you can see here. 12 00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:54,620 So using these search operators with his account is not going to be useful. 13 00:00:54,620 --> 00:01:02,090 And in a future lecture I would like to show you how can you find all the deleted all tweets from his 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:02,840 account? 15 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,540 But we will keep this to another section. 16 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,900 So I'm going to be searching for the security and try these search operators with this account. 17 00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:20,400 So here we have the security and we can see that there are many tweets as you can see here. 18 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,180 And using these search operators it's going to be helpful to find certain information about this profile. 19 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:34,560 So I'm going to the search bar and say from and I want to see all the tweets from this security. 20 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,010 So I'm going to say z security or the username. 21 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,720 And then I'm going to hit enter. 22 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,440 And now I will see all the tweets from Z security. 23 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,300 And this is not helpful for now. 24 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:49,440 But what we can do is for example search for a certain search term. 25 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,440 So I'm going to say email and then hit enter. 26 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,320 And maybe he has tweeted an email address that belongs to the security. 27 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:03,840 So I'm going to scroll down and we can see that there is an email address that is mentioned, which 28 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,510 is probably something that we can get from his website. 29 00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:09,240 And we will cover this in the web Osint section. 30 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,120 But this is a very useful technique that you can use to find any mentioned emails on the target, Twitter 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,380 or X account. 32 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Now let's modify the search and say from cyber pseudo To the security. 33 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:30,850 Now, please keep in mind that you need to enter the username and not the display name of the target 34 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,990 Twitter account. 35 00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:40,750 And here we are telling Twitter if Cyber Sudo has ever tweeted or replied to a certain tweet that Z 36 00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:41,890 security made. 37 00:02:41,890 --> 00:02:43,510 So let me hit enter. 38 00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:50,920 And you can see that out of these hundreds of tweets, we were only able to get one tweet between Cyber 39 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,140 Sudo and the security. 40 00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,460 So let me see the post. 41 00:02:54,460 --> 00:03:01,510 I'm going to click on it and then scroll up and you can see that he asked which thumbnail do we prefer? 42 00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:04,150 And R responded with the red one. 43 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,290 So if we would like to see any connection or any tweets sent from a certain account to another, then 44 00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:17,800 we can use the from and two search operators to only find the information that we need. 45 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:24,010 Next, I would like to show you two search operators that are very, very helpful to narrow down your 46 00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:24,760 search. 47 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:32,440 And the first one is synth, which will allow you to find tweets or posts after a specified date and 48 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,610 until will only show you tweets and posts post before a specified date. 49 00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:49,310 So we can say from the security since 2024 January 1st until 2024 January 15th. 50 00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:55,850 And this will show us all the search results or all the posts that are posted within this range. 51 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,410 Now let's come back. 52 00:03:57,410 --> 00:04:03,140 Let me show you how we can combine multiple search operators that we have learned so far. 53 00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:06,950 So I'm going to say from and then I'm going to say cyber pseudo. 54 00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:18,140 And then I will say since 2024 January 1st until 2024 January 15th. 55 00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:24,800 And this will show me all the tweets that are posted between January 1st and January 15th. 56 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,420 And I'm going to hit enter. 57 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,230 And now you'll see that I only have two tweets that I sent to YouTube team asking to recover my YouTube 58 00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:33,980 channel. 59 00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:41,450 We can of course use only one search operator so I can remove until and say since and this will show 60 00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:47,300 me all the posts or all search results since January 1st, 2024.
