Now let's continue our Osint investigation.
Another thing that I would like to show you, that will help you to find more information about your
target is the Forgot Password feature on Facebook.
This will help you to find the contact information associated with a Facebook profile.
So when I click on Forgot Password, I'm asked to enter either the full name, the email address or
the username, but you cannot add the user ID and once I find the profile, I can click on it and see
how I can reset my password.
And in this case, I have searched for the name Saleh Siraj.
And this is a profile.
And it tells me that this profile is associated with this email address that starts with S and ends
with zero at gmail.com.
So to utilize this feature, all I have to do is to go to facebook.com.
I must be logged out and then click on forgot account.
And then I need to enter the email address or phone number.
And you can also add the username of the person.
So if it was Rishi, Raj, Cobra or Rishi Cobra 132 etc. you can also add it in here, but in this case
I'm just going to say Rishi Kabra Cobra like this and hit enter.
And now I'm going to see some accounts and I have to select the account that I'm looking for.
And in our case it's this one.
So I'm going to say this is my account.
And here are some information about his email address and phone number.
So it tells us here that we can send a code via email.
And the email address starts with R and ends with two.
And I think that this is the same email address that we found earlier.
So if I went back to my notes, I can see that this email address starts with R and ends with two.
And please keep in mind that these asterisks doesn't represent the number of characters or letters that
the email has.
So it's going to be hard to guess this email, because previously Facebook showed us the number of stars
that represent the number of missing characters.
So you can see how many stars are displayed.
And then try to guess the email, because you know that the number of stars is also the number of the
missing characters.
But now Facebook has changed the way they display the email address that is associated with a Facebook
account.
Another thing that we can see is that he has a phone number that ends with one six.
So I'm going to take a screenshot and I'm going to say copy.
And then I'm going to add this to my notes.
So now I know that Rishi Kabra email address starts with R and ends with two.
And since I know his email address, I'm going to the Facebook page again and say not you.
And to confirm my suspicion, I'm going to add the email address that I have gathered earlier in a previous
lecture.
And then I'm going to say search.
And now it's telling me that this account is associated with this email address.
And this Facebook profile has also the phone number that ends with one six, which is what we have captured
before.
So now we can confirm that Rishi Kabra email address that is associated with his Facebook account is
the one that we have got previously, which is Rishi Kabra 132 at gmail.com.
The only thing that is missing is his phone number.
So in a future lecture I would like to show you.
How can you find his phone number?
