In a previous lecture, we have learned how we can use Osint tools to find whether an email address
is registered on a list of websites.
We have learned how we can use Oppo's Osint industries and gastric.
And in this lecture we are going to do the same, but we are going to search for a phone number instead
of an email address, which will allow us to reveal the owner of a phone number or websites that are
associated with a certain phone number.
So let's see how we can do this.
So the first website that I'm going to use is Apos.
We have already created an account and signed in.
So I'm going to click on phone which will check whether a phone number is registered on a list of websites.
And please keep in mind that you do not need a subscription.
Here we are using the free plan.
So I'm going to add Rishi Kabra phone number.
And this is the phone number that he used with his Facebook account and all other accounts.
And then click on search.
We can see that this phone number is associated with an Instagram account.
So he either used this phone number to create a Facebook account, or he created a Facebook account
and then added this phone number.
We can also scroll down and see that he has a Skype account, and we can also see his first and last
name username and that he is from Kolkata.
So just by having someone's phone number we were able to get his first and last name.
Next we have gastric which is also a website that we have used before.
Here I'm using the free plan.
I'm going to add Rishi Kabra phone number and click on search.
And here we have a search result which is very similar to the one that we have seen before.
We can see his Skype account with his name.
The last website that I would like to cover, which I think is one of the best websites because it's
going to check in multiple websites, is called Osint industries.
And in order for you to use Osint industries, you need to have a subscription.
But if you are a journalist or you work with law enforcement or police, then you can get free access.
So I'm going to add Rishi Kabra phone number and then click on search.
And here we have got the search result.
So let me scroll down.
We can see that he has a WhatsApp account.
We can also see his profile picture.
We can see his Skype account, which is something that we have found before.
We can also scroll down and see that he has an Instagram account, and that this phone number is associated
with a service or a website called icon.
And he also has a Microsoft account which will tell us that he has another email address.
Once you gather initial information about the target and you were able to find the person has a LinkedIn
account, then you can use Signal Higher browser extension to check whether their email address or phone
number is associated with a LinkedIn account.
We have already learned how we can use this tool in a previous section, but this time, instead of
adding or searching for someone's email, we are going to search for the person's phone number.
So every time you want to search for a phone number, you can always come back to this section and watch
all the lectures to see the methods and techniques that you can use to find information about any phone
number.
So you want to log in to your LinkedIn account and download and install signal higher.
We have already done this.
And then you want to click on signal higher icon.
And then you want to add the person's phone number.
So I have copied it and I'm going to paste it in here.
And then I'm going to click on Find Profile.
And if this phone number is in signal Higher database and it's associated with a LinkedIn account,
then I'm going to get a match.
And as you can see, I can see Rishi Kabra LinkedIn account along with some other information like his
email address and a second phone number.
I can also click on his LinkedIn account, which will redirect me to his LinkedIn account or on this
Twitter icon which will redirect me to his old Twitter account.
So in this lecture, you have learned how you can use Osint tools that will allow you to check whether
a certain phone number or an email address is registered on list of websites, and we were able to uncover
the caller ID of this phone number just by using these websites.
