If you. are performing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) or Signals Intelligence (SigInt), you may need to generate fake identification information.

The information in this article is being provided for educational purposes only. Don’t do anything illegal.

Fake Name Generator

This site generates believable fake identities with name, address, Date of birth, telephone number and much more. If you need a “complete” fake identity then this free site may be useful.

Data Fake Generator also performs the same function.

Elf Wrin’s lair

This is a classic site that can generate a ton of useful fake information such as:

complete fake ID
credit card
Social Security Number
car license plate

Although the information is fake, all of the information will pass the generic algorithmic checkers.

PIC/CIC Database

The site describes its usefulness as follows:

“Many PIC and CIC codes can be manually dialed before placing a long distance call by dialing 101 followed by the PIC/CIC code. This forces your call to be carried by that PIC/CIC code's carrier instead of your normal long distance carrier.”

This is a more niche service and will only be useful to a very small group of readers.

Fake photo generator

There may be times when you need to create a fake profile (dating site, social media, etc) and this site will generate an AI (Generative Adversarial Network) created picture for you. Simply refresh the page to get a new image. If you like the image, save it as it may never come back. Also double check the entire image to make sure there aren’t any weird artifacts.

OSINT - Disposable contact sites

February 6, 2021GeneralEdward Kiledjian

The purpose of this blog article is to share some useful sites that will allow you to create temporary contact mechanisms for OSINT, SIGINT or other cyber activities.

This is not an exhaustive list and I am simply listing these here to help you. This listing should not be considered a personal endorsement by me. Do your own research ;-)

Disposable email

10 minute email offers a quick way to receive email with an email address that disappears in 10 minutes. This free service can be useful if a site requires registration with email verification but you don’t want to give away your real email address and this is a one time use activity.

Email forwarding service

There may be times where you want to protect your email address but need to regularly receive emails from an untrusted source or from a service you need to hide from. This is here AnonAddy comes in. They have a free plan for casual use and paid plans if you need a bit more functionality,

If you are technically inclined an require additional security or privacy, the service is based on an open source project so you can host this solution yourself as well.

Send faxes anonymously for free

FaxZero is a fax service that allows you to send faxes for free. They do require that you click on an email confirmation link before they process your fax. Hence why I listed the other email services above. FaxZero does offer a paid service if you need priority faxing of higher volumes. The best recommendation is to use the free service during times when you believe they should be less busy therefore your faxes will go our sooner. In my testing (over 3 months), 95% of all my faxes (with the free fax service) were sent within 20 minutes.

Send a Free anonymous text message (SMS)

Globfone is a free web based service that allows you to send SMS messages to almost any smartphone on any network anywhere in the world. it is anonymous and does not require a registration. It adds a small ad at the end of your SMS that reads “/try Globfone”.

The other services listed on their site seem much less reliable but the SMS one has worked every time.

Receive SMS messages

There may be times when you need a temporary disposable inbound SMS number. This is where SMStoMe shines. It is a free service and requires no registration to use. Remember that inbound numbers are shared. Numbers are refreshed every 30 days and are capable of receiving SMS messages from any network in the world.

Free WIFI cellphone number

There are many free WIFI calling and SMS services out there but the one I have found to be the most reliable is TextNow. You can buy an add free service with number protection for about $40 a year but the basic service (that should meet your OSINT needs) is free.

If you live in the USA, your info is probably on this site and how to delete it

October 1, 2020GeneralEdward Kiledjian

There are lots of “less than reputable” websites that scrape the web for your information and then make it cheaply available to anyone willing to spend money.

I recently found a website that has a ton of information about many Americans including address, telephone number and even some relationship information.

Once you enter your name and state, it will show you a list of possible “victims”. You choose your listing and prepare to be astounded by the amount of information they have about you.

Now that your are properly terrorized, here is how to remove your information from Cyber BackGRound Check

Go here: https://www.cyberbackgroundchecks.com/removal
Agree to the conditions and enter his email address
Complete the CAPTCHA and then click “Start Removal Process.”
Find your records and click the Remove My Record button at the top of the page (must be on the details page of your profile to do this)
Check your email for the removal confirmation note and click the enclosed link
48-72 hours later, your information should be removed from the site

Refresh app is a basic people intelligence tool

July 15, 2013BusinessEdward Kiledjian

Business people are constantly meeting new people. The more you know about the people you are meeting the less awkward it will be and the more successful your meeting will likely be.

Best practice recommends you conduct a Google (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) search on everyone you will be meeting but what if you don't have the time? This is where a tool like Refresh shines. It will do all of the heavy lifting and give you a personalized person briefing within minutes.

The tool is in private beta and I haven't received my invitation yet so everything in this article is based on articles, clips and info provided by the company. When I receive my invite, I will provide a more in-depth review.

What does Refresh do?

The app gpes through social media networks, search providers and the general net to provide a quick person briefing. It will give you info about the persons job history, interests, travels, etc.

How do I get Refresh?

As I mentioned, Refresh is in private beta so you should go to their website and sign-up using your Linkedin account. You will be put on a waiting list and eventually you will receive a private invitation.

A social networking privacy experiment

June 28, 2012SecurityEdward Kiledjian

All too often, people forget to secure their facebook profile page and then post stupid self deprecating comments that site can easily scoop up and archive forever. This may be a good time for you to read my post on securing your Social Media information found here.

We Know What You’re Doing is the brainchild of an 18 year old web programmer who wanted to show the world just how stupid people can be. Using the publicly available Graph API, his site collects interesting updates and categorizes them into one of these categories:

Who wants to get fired?
Who's hungover?
Who's taking drugs?
Who's got a new phone number?

Click on the above image to maximize it.

Why should you worry?

Governments and companies datamine these sources of public information using techniques called Open Source Intelligence. Since it is based on publicly available information, they don't really need your permission and you would be surprised at how much information can be gleamed by a trained analyst.

My advise to you is simple, if you wouldnt want your husband/wife/mother to know about it, don't post it on the internet because the internet never forgets.
