Welcome back to our series on conducting OSINT investigations on the Matrix platform. This is the fourth installment, so if you haven’t read the others you probably want to to go review them now. The first post was an introduction to the matrix platform itself – a high level description with an emphasis on items […]
Welcome to another in this series of OSINT investigations on Matrix. If you haven’t read it already, or for a quick introduction to the basics of the Matrix platform, please read the first article in this series. After that introduction we took a detailed look at the platform and it’s major components, how they interact, […]
In the previous post we gave a high-level introduction to the Matrix platform, how it operates, what characteristics it has, and why it is interesting from an OSINT perspective. In the next post in this series, we’ll examine tools, tips and techniques useful to a researcher on this platform, followed by a closer look at […]
ENTER THE MATRIX Matrix is a new-ish player in the messaging and group chat space, but the software ecosystem is stable and is becoming mature enough to be quite usable. My goal here is to introduce the platform and to then take a closer look at it from an open-source intelligence perspective, since this is […]
Dedicated OSINT linux distros seem to be getting more popular now, bundled with tools for the job. Today I tried one from Trace Labs based on Kali linux. Kali linux is a debian-based distro loved by pentesters, and usually comes bundled with lots of tools for scanning, attacking, persisting and reporting. This distro has very […]
We would be remiss if we did not mention specialized search sites in one of these posts. There are so many websites that index links in a particular industry or links to specific types of documents like patent applications. They don’t fit neatly into other categories but are incredibly useful for people with specific research […]

Google continues to dominate online search, as we outlined in our introductory post about search engines aptly titled Search Engines and Google. We then dedicated an entire post to decentralized search engines, since your search topics colectively paint a highly detailed view of your personal life. They allow users to run their own nodes. This […]
In our last search engines post called Internet of Things Searching we discussed services that scan the Internet every day giving users easy ways to drill down into those results. Users can get detailed searches for routers, webcams, RDP service, Nginx web servers, SCADA controllers or whatever, as well as access robust APIs so these […]
We talked about Google Search in the previous post on the topic of search engines, but now we’re going to shift gears and take a look at some search engines specialized for searching the Internet of Things (IoT). The 800 pound gorilla in the space is Shodan, that lets users search the Internet for devices […]
