In this video, we're going to take a look at the new challenge that I put up for the course.
Now in this revised version, you're going to blue Sky looking at Karen Neo at Blue Sky.
And the scenario is, this person's harassing your client, and your client would like to know who it
is.
And essentially what your job is, is to find out.
Is there blue sky name accurate?
If not, who are they really?
What's their occupation?
What city state do they live in?
What school do they go to, and what's their phone number?
Now, again, this is all completely fictional scenario and the person that you're investigating, blue
Sky is a account created because I don't believe in actually doxing anyone.
Uh, in unmasking a criminal is one thing.
doxing someone in real life is pretty, pretty different.
And as a matter of fact, this actually reminded me of one of the early open source intelligence certification
I went for.
The test was to unmask a very real person and give the the person that created the certification test
that information.
And it wasn't a criminal, it was actually a person that had a alias that went unmasked and exposed
criminals.
Uh, so I didn't think that was very ethical.
So that's why whenever we do something like this, it's it's always a fictional scenario, fictional
person.
Because I don't believe in, um, essentially doxing people again, especially if it's someone that's
really not doing anything, um, illegal.
So again, we're going back and we're going to take a look at this blue sky account here.
And that's going to be your starting point.
Now we're going to go over a possible solution.
I'm going to say possible because there's generally different ways to tackle a problem and get the solution.
So let's take a look.
So this is the blue sky account here.
And we can see that they have their following one person.
They have one post.
They have three followers.
Let's actually take a look who they're following.
User does not have any followers.
Well that's interesting.
It says three followers.
It says they're following someone which is actually the blue sky account.
So that doesn't really count.
And you can see that they posted three months ago out for a walk around town.
Now there's no other information on here.
So what I would normally do is save this image.
And we could do a reverse image search on this to kind of get see if there's more information.
Maybe what they're saying they want to walk around town.
So this is probably within their area.
So we could use things like Google image, reverse searches, Bing, Yandex, Tineye.
We could use things like the internet, not the Internet Archive, rather the ChatGPT, for example,
or or Google's AI and say, hey, you know, where's where's this picture from?
And it it'll generally give us a rough idea of where that image was taken.
Now, this particular route really doesn't come up with anything too useful.
So let's take a look at what else there is.
Well, they have this link here minds.com.
Hmm.
Okay.
Well let's go to that minds.com and see where that takes us.
Uh, that actually takes us here.
Minds.com.
Coroneo.
And we can see this username here.
So.
Generally, I will take this username.
I'll feed it into things like, uh, Sherlock, a whole heave whatnot, and start doing a username search
and see if that where else that was used.
Also going to go through here.
And we're going to start taking a look at what they have posted here.
Well let's see here.
They have this strikingly page here.
We'll take a look at that moment.
And they also have this QR code.
So I'm going to I'm going to save this link.
And I'm going to copy that QR code.
And I'm going to see where that QR code goes to.
And I just use a QR code scanner.
So I have that uploaded and it spit out this which looks strikingly like a Bitcoin address.
So taking that Bitcoin address I'm going to feed it into something like Betreff Bitcoin who's who blockchain
explorer whatnot.
Put it in there.
And sure enough yes this is actually a Bitcoin address.
And there's no balance no transactions.
So there's nothing that I could actually start tracking through.
So that looks like that's a dead end.
And don't be discouraged if you end up with coming up with some dead ends, because the truth is, you're
going to almost definitely run into some roadblocks and dead ends.
The thing is, uh, we mark that down and we pivot and look for another angle.
Okay.
So that's that's a no go.
Uh, going back here.
Well, there's a strikingly page.
What the heck is this?
Well, let's go there.
Okay.
Well, looks like they have another page, and they're they're listed as a homemaker.
We can see their image here.
I could do save this.
Do a reverse image search.
I can look at the metadata for these images, but almost every site will scrub metadata from it.
So it's probably not going to find anything useful there.
Well let's scroll down here.
And they have a mark Twain quote here.
And about them.
Uh, please pardon the mess.
I'm in the process of setting up a new page.
How exciting.
Uh, specialties.
Cooking.
They have it.
And there's their crypto address again.
Uh, there's a address here.
Los Angeles, there's a telephone number.
There's a email address there.
Okay.
Well.
Hmm.
Let's take a look at if there's any thing that they posted that may be archived.
So I would take this blue sky address and put it into something like, uh, Wayback Machine, for example.
I put that in here and we could take a look and doesn't look like that got archived.
Okay, um, let's try this.
Uh, mine's page.
It's mine.
Page was archived.
Put that in there.
Doesn't seem to be archived there either.
Well, let's try this one.
The strikingly page.
We'll just paste it in here.
And this was archived.
Okay.
It looks like March 27th, 2025, 1951 and 50s.
Let's take a look at that one snapshot and see what we can find.
Okay.
Well now we have some a different name.
I'm going to just minimize that.
Doctor Agnes Schultz.
Uh.
Prosthodontist.
I might be pronouncing that wrong.
Okay, well, there's a different image there, so I would do a search on that name.
I would do a search on the, uh, on the job in addition to the old name, to just to see if I could
find more information on it.
And we can see.
Oh, well, it's interesting.
It has the same, uh, Mark Twain quote, but it has a different image there and a different name and
different job.
Education.
University of Western States.
Looks like experience specialties.
Scroll down to here.
Same address, different phone number.
And there's an email address here.
So it looks like this person had this site here.
And then they changed it later to this.
So.
Let's get back in there.
So this is in fact the person that you are looking for.
That's your name occupation.
Scroll down here address telephone number email address etc..
So again this was a scenario.
So you're taking different things that you learned through the course.
Not everything is going to be is going to work every time.
But it's good to cover your bases.
So hope you enjoyed this one.
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in next video.
