A sneak peak at the next issue of The OSINT Newsletter. Using the Reddit JSON feature, you can enhance the information displayed on page using a bookmarklet. Here's a demo of the bookmarklet in its basic form.

Going to start writing the next issue of The OSINT Newsletter today. Focus will be on bypassing Reddit APIs, sort of, for collection at scale. I’ll also be teasing a bit of audio in preparation for the return of the podcast.

I added my stretch goal, web scraping. When this tool goes live, there will also be an option to input a URL where the app will then scrape images from that page (if possible) for additional images. I also added in an option to download all matching images at the end.

The next #OSINT Newsletter comes out on December 19th. This issue will dive into making a face recognition tool using free sources that works in your browser (not CLI). We’ll take a look at limitations with a special look at the ongoing Luigi Mangione case. osintnewsletter.com
