Obtain Valuable Data from Images During Recon Using EXIF Extractors [Tutorial]

How to Discover Hidden Photo Metadata with EXIF Viewers

Images can possess valuable metadata such as geolocations, dates, and camera model that can help verify a source or provide meaningful information about a target in an investigation. Knowing how to access this data is crucial. On today's episode of Cyber Weapons Lab, we'll show you how to use three convenient EXIF data extractors to data mine images you find online.

Be aware of the security issues of giving add-ons access to your computer. As usual there's potentially a big price to pay for a little bit of convenience. Better use command line tools which provide the same info only when you need/want it.

Really interesting stuff.... looking forward to learning more from you! :D

This is very useful if you've ever obtained a machine from a "yard sale", "lost and found", internet sale..ect..

Actually, Imgur is pretty good about keeping its users safe. All metadata is scrubbed once an image is uploaded to its imageboard.

[TheRobMozza]

GEO/GPS is only listed in the metadata if the targets phone had their location enabled

Is there a way to extract the same type of data on video recording? If yes what tools do we use? Thanks so much for the awesome videos
