Intelligence – A good collection of great OSINT Resources

Re: Intelligence – A good collection of great OSINT Resources
#42Since other people are asking about related tools... Do you know about a tool for managing personas (vulgo sockpuppets)? E.g. a little database where you store facts about fake identities: Name, age, location, hobbies, favorite topics, and so on. Maybe if you click on an identity, it will connect you with a preconfigured proxy or VPN and allow you to post as them on websites. I don't really have a use case for myself…

You can still be fingerprinted across "personas" when your useragent/screen resolution/IP address/proxy provider/etc. are all identical, since you're presumably doing all of this from the same device. This does not mean spin up a bunch of EC2 instances.
Buy a bunch of different burner phones/old laptops from Goodwill or whatever-- use discrete hardware. Get SIM cards from different providers. Pay with Bitcoin or cash where possible. Etc.
These are the sorts of things scammer sweatshops do to avoid accountability. They'll have literal walls full of phones wired up, each preconfigured for a particular identity. Even teenaged fraudsters like Eleanor Williams think to do this sort of stuff to maintain opsec.

If Putin is going to come after every Westerner that both hates his guts and that has contributed in one form or another to the Ukrainian side of this war then he has his work cut out for him. I'd say OP is too low value a target from cost/benefit analysis point of view and the backlash of committing acts of war on Western territory could well be much, much worse than anything that Putin is willing to deal with at th…
> Putin has gotten away with the occasional assassination of Russians on foreign soil, with innocents as collateral damage, if he steps that up to a targeted assassination campaign of Western citizens then that would be a serious miscalculation on his part.
On the other hand, targeting nobodies abroad would be a highly-effective form of stochastic terrorism inflicted with the unpredictability and resources of a state-sponsored serial killer.
Anybody attempting attribution would be dismissed as crazy.

A lot of people geolocate stuff on /r/combatfootage for fun because they like following the progress of the war. It's a personal challenge.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Stochastic terrorism is "The use of mass public communication, usually against a particular individual or group, which incites or inspires acts of terrorism which are statistically probable but happen seemingly at random."[1]
What you're describing -- "murdering nobodies" is just run of the mill terrorism[2] where I'm from[3].
>§ 2717. Terrorism.
>(a) General rule.--A person is guilty of terrorism if he commits a violent offense intending to do any of the following:
>(1) Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.
>(2) Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.=
>(3) Affect the conduct of a government.
Be more careful with your language, words have immense power.

Living life in fear of reprisal isn’t much of a life. We all should strive to live up to our ideals and convictions, no matter the consequences. If we don’t then what are we actually doing here?

I agree, so why not do something truly brave, like spark a riot outside the mayor's house with nothing more than a well timed GIF rather than waste time confirming what folks already know in forensic detail?
(Sorry to be flippant, but it's been a long day and it's so late it's early.)
