This video explores 10 free OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools that reveal your personal digital footprint. The creator emphasizes that these tools are not for stalking, but for individuals to see what information about them is publicly available so they can better protect their privacy.

The 10 OSINT Tools: *Sherlock (0:00): Finds where a specific username is registered across 400+ social networks. Hole (1:09): Checks if an email address is linked to accounts on 120+ websites. *Epieos (2:30): Investigates the Google account associated with an email, showing public reviews and profiles. *WhatsMyName (3:31): Identifies where a username exists across 700+ platforms. *GHunt (4:31): Investigates public Google data like calendars, drive files, and YouTube channels linked to an email. *theHarvester (5:29): Gathers emails, subdomains, and host information from public sources. *SpiderFoot (6:27): Automates OSINT data collection from 100+ sources to build a user profile. *Dehashed (7:36): A search engine for leaked data from past security breaches. *IntelX (8:38): An intelligence search engine for dark web data and leaked databases. *Recon-ng (9:46): A full-featured reconnaissance framework used for mapping digital footprints.

Key Advice for Privacy:: *Clean up: Delete abandoned accounts and remove unnecessary personal info from public profiles. *Use Aliases: Use email aliases (like SimpleLogin) to prevent your primary email from being everywhere. *Security Hygiene: Use a password manager like Bitwarden, enable two-factor ** (2FA), and never reuse passwords. †Privacy Settings: Regularly review privacy settings on all accounts, especially Google and social media platforms, to limit public visibility
