In this video, we're taking a look at Exif tools and it can be found at Exif tools.

00:07.880 --> 00:14.420
Now, Exif Tools is a program that takes a look at the metadata of photos.

00:14.450 --> 00:15.380
Now.

00:16.050 --> 00:17.280
During your investigations.

00:17.280 --> 00:23.160
If you find photos, those photos might hold key information that might help your investigation.

00:23.340 --> 00:25.920
And also Trace Labs.

00:25.920 --> 00:33.330
Linux does have some access tools built in pre-installed on the virtual machine, but we're taking a

00:33.330 --> 00:37.080
look at the online tool that can help with this.

00:37.960 --> 00:42.100
This one makes a pretty easy to use because it is online.

00:42.100 --> 00:46.090
We can upload a file or we can upload a URL for it to scan.

00:46.090 --> 00:47.770
So let's take a quick look at it.

00:49.060 --> 00:49.930
So.

00:50.880 --> 00:55.860
Again, say, for example, we have a photo that we want to take a look at.

00:55.860 --> 00:58.740
So we have the photo already pre-installed.

00:58.740 --> 01:02.970
We're going to just click on browse here and then I'm going to choose a photo.

01:04.340 --> 01:06.890
And then I'm going to click on upload file.

01:11.430 --> 01:15.720
Now, once it finishes scanning, we can take a look at some basic information on it.

01:15.750 --> 01:18.480
We can see the file type is a PNG file.

01:18.840 --> 01:21.180
We can see the file size.

01:22.610 --> 01:25.370
We could see the file name.

01:27.290 --> 01:32.600
The modification date as change time file permission.

01:32.840 --> 01:36.350
We can see the file type is a PNG file.

01:37.100 --> 01:44.570
We can see the image width and height bit depth color type compression filtering.

01:44.870 --> 01:49.880
We can see the software was Adobe image ready Xmp Toolkit.

01:49.910 --> 01:51.350
Adobe Xmp core.

01:51.380 --> 01:57.380
We can see the version number creator tool instance ID, document ID, et cetera.

01:57.380 --> 01:58.160
ET cetera.

01:59.060 --> 02:02.930
So again, this gives a lot of information about the particular photo.

02:03.260 --> 02:08.810
Likewise, if this was, say, on a iPhone, we might potentially be able to get information that was

02:08.810 --> 02:14.030
from an iPhone or if there was geolocation data associated with it.

02:14.060 --> 02:20.210
Say someone took a photo with their smartphone, didn't turn off the geolocation information on it.

02:20.240 --> 02:23.450
We might be able to get that information too, which could be really handy.

02:24.360 --> 02:27.090
Say that we're trying to track someone down.

02:27.210 --> 02:30.450
They take a photo, they upload to social media.

02:30.480 --> 02:36.120
We could do certain things like do a reverse image search, potentially find out where that photo was

02:36.120 --> 02:43.530
taken, or even better, if we get lucky and they left that geolocation on on the phone, they take

02:43.530 --> 02:49.620
a photo, we could use this, potentially find the GPS coordinates where that photo was taken also.

02:50.400 --> 02:56.130
So again, a pretty easy tool to use and it is Exif tools.

02:56.490 --> 03:01.080
And if I go back here, we can also paste a URL in here to do the same thing.

03:01.080 --> 03:04.350
If there's a photo we find online, we don't want to grab the photo.

03:04.350 --> 03:08.070
For some reason we can put the URL in there and run a same type of scan.

03:08.660 --> 03:10.280
So pretty easy.

03:10.820 --> 03:14.000
Another alternative to take a look at Exif data.

03:14.300 --> 03:15.200
Thank you for watching.

03:15.200 --> 03:16.430
I'll see you in the next video.
