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.

The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is a unique identification number that all mobile phones and smartphones have. If you need a fake one, this simple page may be useful. You click on generate and it creates a new one for you.

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.

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.

Find phishing and malware with a simple search

GeneralEdward Kiledjian

A very important function of any information security team is threat intelligence. Threat Intel can be a complicated and costly service in some cases but can be as simple a running a simple search in other cases. Here is a trick to get you started with the simple and cheap function.

Did you know you can find lots of "fun" phishing and malware links using nothing more than a simple VirusTotal search? Search VirusTotal for Google Storage API (precooked link). 

Go down midway on the results page and voila.

The one I highlighted above takes you to a dropbox phishing site

Some may not be fully formed yet. Some may already be taken down but you can find some interesting opportunities for research. 

Simple "script kiddy" level Threat Intel for you.
