If you like to put raisins in things with hot water or some sauce, you don't like raisins. You like grapes.

Always #OSINTCurious. #OSINT lover. (Primary Mastodon profile)
Tonight, along with updating sites in the #OSINT WhatsMyName project to improve accuracy, I implemented a schema change that will enable downstream #developers to track sites we've removed from the project.
Now, the optional "protection" element in WhatsMyName includes indicators for various protection mechanisms, such as Cloudflare, CAPTCHAs, user authentication, multiple verification methods, and other measures that block automated requests.
Previously, we removed sites requiring authentication (like Facebook or Instagram) or those behind Cloudflare, or relied on third-party sites to check them. With this update, we can reintegrate protected sites into the project, allowing developers of checker tools to create circumvention methods for these protections in their scripts.
I changed the docs to reflect this https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Making a WHOLE BUNCH of great updates to WhatsMyName tonight. Removing tons of old, dead sites, fixing detections. Whew! Brace yourselves. We are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #osint
Sometimes the missing persons cases I help work on for the National Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF) reach a resolution and the main stream media picks them up.
This is just such a case that we were honored to work on recently with some extremely dedicated law enforcement personnel. (https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/missing/benton-county-sheriffs-office-missing-teen-arrest/527-457816e9-7d20-4bc0-8d87-5fc8db35b580)
I am passionate about my work at the NCPTF because we are dedicated to the vital mission of locating missing individuals. While the work can be challenging and at times frustrating, it is incredibly rewarding to make a difference in people's lives. As a nonprofit organization (501c3), we rely on the support of generous individuals and organizations to continue our efforts.
I invite you to visit https://ncptf.org/donate/ to make a financial contribution if you are able. Additionally, please consider reaching out to your employer to see if they can support our mission. Together, we can help bring hope to those in need. Thank you for your support!

Lenny ZeltserThere's a myth that defenders are at an inherent disadvantage when compared to attackers. The opposite is true.
Our inherent strength–the defender’s advantage–is our ability to develop a better understanding of our environment than the attackers. Here's how and why:
