This tutorial is part 20 of the OSINT At Home series. The tutorial covers the subject of image reverse search tools to help researchers with the practicalities and capabilities of various tools designed to delve deeper into the origins, occurrences, and details of images

The tutorial focusses on the best image reverse platforms, such as Google Lense, Yandex, Baidu image reverse search, TinEye, Bing image reverse search, and also goes into the practicalities of stock photo reverse search functions on photo for sale, or stock photo websites such as Getty images and Shutterstock.

For the case study in the presentation, I use two examples: first a satellite image of a lake that was seen on a Daily Mail article, and second, an artificially generated profile picture of a face. The links to those examples are below, so that you can follow along with this tutorial.

This session also covers a wider concept of looking at images in part of an investigation or research, where that image may provide more details, or context, about an issue, event or subject that you might be looking at.

The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.
