OSINT & Digital Footprint Investigation

What I Do

I verify identities, build investigative profiles, and uncover connections using only publicly available information. No special access, no paid investigator databases — just methodical open-source research and pattern recognition.

Methods & Capabilities

Background research — building comprehensive profiles on individuals or entities using fragmented public data, even when the digital footprint is minimal or limited to a single platform
Property & address research — tracing current and historical addresses through county assessor records, parcel data, and rental history
Physical identification — cross-referencing physical descriptions, gait patterns, and behavioral characteristics with available records
Employment & schedule analysis — mapping work patterns, commute logistics, and routine behaviors through public data points
Pattern recognition — identifying connections across fragmented data that don't surface in a standard search
Digital footprint mapping — building a complete picture from LinkedIn, public records, archived pages, and reverse image searches

Tools I Use

Google Advanced Search & dorking
Public records databases (county, state, federal)
LinkedIn & social platform analysis
Reverse image search
Wayback Machine & web archives
WHOIS & domain records
Property records & parcel maps

Real-World Application

My research has led to formal submissions to federal law enforcement. I don't take that step lightly — I only escalate when findings are verified across multiple independent data points with an extremely high confidence threshold.
