10 Minute Tip: How to geolocate from images and videos, Part 1

In this multi-part series, OSINT Curious member, Steven Harris (NixIntel), shows how to extract and use GPS coordinates in the metadata of photos to verify the location where the image was taken. He then shows how to use Google Maps to further validate those results.

Very interesting. I would love to find a location to a scene in a YouTube video. Do you have a tutorial on that specific subject?

Sorry but you kinda glossed over selecting the image and getting that blue logo to appear on the top left. Is the image direct from the internet or a saved photo from the internet. Problem is when I refresh the stopped image from a you tube video all that happens is the video goes right back to the start and so you loose the image you were trying to investigate? Its not possible to refresh any saved photo's from the internet as far as I can see?

hi, I've been trying to find out for a long time in which region a video without metadata was shot, but I'm not succeeding, I'm asking for help from you please

When I receive the EXIF DATA HISTOGRAM GEOLOCATION info, it is immediately covered, vertically, with a white GOOGLE menu, so I can't see the info I need - please advise how to prevent/eliminate that, thank you!

if i try this there it show no geolocation for the pic i try.. so can i find it without it`?

[EMMatthews]

This was very helpful. I’m also interested in Part 2 that will show how geolocation without exfil data. Is it listed as something else, or did I miss it?
Thanks!

correction: metadata is embedded in the file, but not in the image itself. (compare to steganography)

[queenproart]

[davidbrogan]
