WEBVTT 00:00.800 --> 00:03.520 In this video we're going to take a look at the tool Magritte. 00:03.920 --> 00:07.800 Now this is based off of a fictional French detective. 00:08.600 --> 00:16.840 And this is designed for using the tool for finding usernames where that username was used in other 00:16.840 --> 00:17.640 places. 00:17.640 --> 00:25.400 And this is really useful when, say, we have a Twitter handle or Facebook handle, a handle in some 00:25.400 --> 00:30.160 sort of form, we want to see where else that name was potentially used. 00:30.160 --> 00:36.320 This includes email addresses, because a lot of times people will use the same email name as they will 00:36.320 --> 00:40.000 in other places, and this is where this will come in handy. 00:40.480 --> 00:45.840 So the first part we're going to look at is the GitHub tool. 00:46.600 --> 00:48.760 And you can find at github.com. 00:51.840 --> 00:59.200 Forward slash Magritte and I have the link for this in another one in the description for this video. 01:00.760 --> 01:05.200 So if we scroll down in here this gives us some nice information about the tool. 01:05.920 --> 01:09.240 And you could either install it through a pipe. 01:09.240 --> 01:14.500 Pi pi pi um or clone the repository or docker instance. 01:14.500 --> 01:16.980 If you have Docker, I'm going to do the repository here. 01:16.980 --> 01:20.980 So I'm just going to click the little copy thing right there. 01:21.020 --> 01:24.140 I'm going to open a terminal and I'm going to paste this in here. 01:24.140 --> 01:25.460 Now I already have this installed. 01:25.460 --> 01:30.220 But you can simply do this and it'll go through and install the program for you. 01:30.220 --> 01:38.540 And then you can run it now down in here it gives you some nice usage examples here output as HTML, 01:38.580 --> 01:42.300 PDF, how to use it, so on and so forth. 01:42.820 --> 01:51.140 So another way I've been using for a while now is Osint rocks and you can find this at Osint rocks. 01:51.140 --> 01:57.700 This has several different tools built into this, and I like it a lot because it is simpler. 01:57.980 --> 01:59.460 I don't have to install anything. 01:59.700 --> 02:03.700 It is good to have the backup, uh, installed on your computer. 02:04.140 --> 02:12.620 But as far as, uh, being able to do quick searches like domain IP lookups, telephone lookup, email 02:12.620 --> 02:17.220 addresses, lookup, and username, I like using this. 02:17.220 --> 02:18.600 So I can go in here. 02:18.600 --> 02:21.160 I can go to Magritte, I can type in something like, um. 02:24.920 --> 02:28.520 Elon Musk, click on the search here. 02:28.520 --> 02:30.680 And you can also click on this to get some information. 02:30.680 --> 02:35.560 But if you're not sure what the tool does and we click on the magnifying glass here. 02:39.480 --> 02:41.880 And this will start performing a search for us. 02:47.840 --> 02:51.960 So we'll give this a moment to go ahead and perform the search. 02:54.840 --> 02:55.280 Okay. 02:55.320 --> 02:56.280 And we're back. 02:56.280 --> 03:00.160 So that actually took a really long time to pull up the information. 03:00.160 --> 03:03.960 So I changed the actual search criteria to a human hacker. 03:03.960 --> 03:07.720 But we could see what it looks like on the output. 03:08.120 --> 03:14.760 Now this kind of goes to show that sometimes tools will break. 03:14.760 --> 03:19.120 That's why I always recommend being flexible and how you use the tools. 03:19.480 --> 03:25.200 And also sometimes the web version works better than the GitHub version and vice versa. 03:25.200 --> 03:27.190 So again, be flexible. 03:27.190 --> 03:33.550 Things don't work out, which a lot of times they will not because things never seem to go right during 03:33.550 --> 03:34.630 an investigation. 03:36.430 --> 03:43.230 Be prepared to pivot in another direction to get your findings. 03:43.310 --> 03:51.270 So this is a example output of what you're going to find for Magritte. 03:51.270 --> 03:54.790 So we can see all these different, uh. 03:57.270 --> 04:01.990 Sites that are associated with this username. 04:02.310 --> 04:07.230 Now this may or may not be the particular person that we're that we have in mind, especially depending 04:07.230 --> 04:09.430 on how unique that username is. 04:10.550 --> 04:12.590 And the nice thing is we can see images here. 04:12.590 --> 04:18.670 We can see the ID, we can see the username reputation count zero, reputation neutral. 04:19.150 --> 04:26.910 And we can see an image created on and the time and we can see uh imager, GitHub, Figma, uh, some 04:26.910 --> 04:31.350 Russian telegrams, um accounts, so on and so forth. 04:31.550 --> 04:37.810 And it's always good to go in here and verify the results, because sometimes you will get false positives. 04:38.730 --> 04:39.730 So we click on here. 04:39.730 --> 04:44.410 And yes, it actually does have a human hacker account here on imager. 04:45.410 --> 04:48.890 And that makes sense because it does have a creation date here. 04:50.610 --> 04:53.530 So there's another one here ru. 04:53.570 --> 04:54.450 Yandex ru. 04:54.490 --> 04:59.330 So our Russian site um it community false. 04:59.570 --> 05:00.330 Video channel. 05:00.330 --> 05:00.690 False. 05:00.690 --> 05:01.650 So and so forth. 05:01.650 --> 05:03.810 So you can see there's a lot of great information here. 05:03.810 --> 05:11.810 But again always verify one that the info that the account is actually there because sometimes it, 05:12.290 --> 05:13.450 it might not be. 05:14.090 --> 05:20.370 The second thing is try to verify this is the particular individual or group that you're looking for, 05:20.370 --> 05:26.770 because it may be someone using the same username as the person you're looking for. 05:26.810 --> 05:30.610 But again, uh, great tool to check out. 05:31.330 --> 05:32.130 It's Magritte. 05:32.130 --> 05:34.330 You can find the links on the. 05:36.570 --> 05:37.970 On the description of the video. 05:38.250 --> 05:42.130 So again we have the GitHub version and we have the web version. 05:42.130 --> 05:43.290 Thank you so much for watching. 05:43.290 --> 05:44.410 I'll see you next video.
