Social Media OSINT

社交媒体OSINT

Extract intelligence from a subject's social presence across platforms. Input: a profile URL or handle. Observe public content only; do not befriend, message, or deceive to gain access without authorization.
从目标对象在各平台的社交痕迹中提取情报。输入：账号URL或用户名。仅查看公开内容；未经授权，请勿通过添加好友、发送消息或欺骗手段获取访问权限。

Step 1 — Authorized scope

步骤1 — 授权范围

Read ../../ETHICS.md. If you'll interact rather than only observe, use 
sockpuppet-opsec
and confirm it's authorized. Done when noted.
阅读../../ETHICS.md。若你需要进行互动而非仅观察，请使用
sockpuppet-opsec
并确认操作已获授权。标记完成时即完成此步骤。

Step 2 — Profile the account

步骤2 — 分析账号信息

Capture the stable selectors: display name, handle (→ 
username-osint
to find the same handle elsewhere), bio, profile and banner photos (→ 
reverse-image-search
), join date, linked sites, and pinned posts. Done when the account's core selectors are recorded.
记录稳定标识信息：显示名称、用户名（→ 使用
username-osint
查找其他平台的相同用户名）、个人简介、头像与封面照片（→ 进行
reverse-image-search
）、注册日期、关联网站及置顶帖子。当账号核心标识信息被记录完成时，此步骤结束。

Step 3 — Network

步骤3 — 社交网络分析

Map connections that reveal identity: frequent interactions, tagged accounts, family/employer mentions, and mutual follows. A subject's network often exposes what their own profile hides. Done when key relationships are listed.
梳理可揭示身份的关联关系：频繁互动对象、被标记的账号、提及的家人/雇主，以及共同关注者。目标对象的社交网络往往能暴露其个人资料中隐藏的信息。当关键关联关系被列出时，此步骤结束。

Step 4 — Content mining

步骤4 — 内容挖掘

Work the posts for signal:
  • Location — geotags, backgrounds (→ 
    geoint-photo
    ), and check-ins build a map of frequented places.
  • Pattern of life — posting times reveal timezone and routine; recurring places reveal home/work.
  • Media — download images and run 
    exif-metadata-analysis
    (some platforms strip EXIF, many don't).
  • History — deleted or edited posts via 
    wayback-archives
    and platform archives.
Done when location, routine, and notable content are documented with post links and dates.
从帖子中提取有效信息：
  • 位置信息 — 地理标签、背景画面（→ 使用
    geoint-photo
    ）和签到记录可构建目标常去地点的地图。
  • 生活模式 — 发帖时间可揭示时区与日常规律；重复出现的地点可推断出住所/工作地点。
  • 媒体内容 — 下载图片并运行
    exif-metadata-analysis
    （部分平台会去除EXIF信息，但多数不会）。
  • 历史内容 — 通过
    wayback-archives
    和平台存档查看已删除或编辑的帖子。
当位置信息、日常规律及重要内容已附带帖子链接和日期记录完成时，此步骤结束。

Step 5 — Pivot & corroborate

步骤5 — 关联与验证

Link this account to the subject's other profiles via reused handle, photo, bio, or writing style. Confirm cross-platform identity only on corroboration. Done when linked accounts are graded and pivots followed.
通过重复使用的用户名、照片、个人简介或写作风格，将此账号与目标对象的其他账号关联。仅在验证通过后确认跨平台身份。当关联账号已分级且关联路径已跟进完成时，此步骤结束。

Step 6 — Report

步骤6 — 生成报告

Run 
osint-report
. Summarize identity, network, locations, and pattern of life, each claim tied to a specific post.
运行
osint-report
。总结身份信息、社交网络、位置信息及生活模式，每项结论均需关联至具体帖子。
