Are you kidding? Most people under 30 not only post their pictures on line but their entire life stories all over the internet which they regularly up date with photos of their breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Most people are idiots. They are basically large, rather dim children. That has never been different. See all history for proof. Intelligence is not normal. Do not follow the herd. Do learn from those wiser and more intelligent. Scrape off the rest. Giving a feces about displaying your life story and intimate activities may make sense if you monetize it to other airheads, but what happens to those people is not my concern since I'm not teentarded.
I have to contradict the commenters here saying this won't happen because "HR people are dumb" (basically). Maybe so, maybe you don't know any HR people who know about this tool or how to use it, but if that sort of use of tools like this get picked up on, those "dumb HR people" will get basic training on using this stuff and bam, suddenly it's industry standard to stalk applicants and even "dumb HR people" can do it easily. Front-ends and tools and work-instructions in company documentation will pop up to aid them and it'll be a simple, daily task for these people. That's how this stuff starts, and using PimEyes isn't complex at all. We all thought dumb old people would be too inept to get on Facebook or the internet, but here we are. When considering the ramifications of widely available technology, ethical or otherwise, you shouldn't dismiss them outright because you think that bad actors will be "too dumb" to use it for evil. Life lesson: people are always just competent enough to use dangerous tools, not smart enough to avoid doing damage with them.
I guess the reason this doesn't freak me out as much is it doesn't take me by surprise. I've kind of assumed that something like this existed or could be easily created for as long as I've been using the internet. When I learn about a new technology I typically don't just look at it in terms of what it does but in terms of what it could potentially do based on its capabilities (a mindset that comes in handy for cybersecurity).
I have always believed this would happen one day. I was born in the 80's, and when the Internet happened, I immediately thought all those movies where you couldn't escape cameras. And those cameras were always run by someone nefarious, af. Here we are.
Doesn't surprise me at all. I've told people that when you walk in range of someone taking a selfie (pic or video), then one day you'll be able to find that footage, just a matter of time - the only barrier is computing power. This is a bigger problem for anyone under around 35 whose life has been well self-documented on the internet, typically all social media since their teen years. Luckily, I don't fall into that bracket.
I am About exactly that age and I wish I had known when I was you know 15 or so not to useFacebook or any other social media or ever upload any photographs of myself or send them to friends Left and right. I do what I can now to limit my fingerprint and I definitely limit new photos of myself reaching the Internet, But the damage has been somewhat done for facial recognition, if we ever get to the point where I really need to avoid all potential facial/biometric recognition devices, I'm gonna have to get creative/go hard, covering my face with a ski mask and coverings to change the shape of my face AND cover me up.
I know peoples that didnt get hired for really high paying jobs just because of what they posted in their hidden past, new AI will make the search even easier
There is one major drawback of this tool. It only give desirable results if you are slightly famous since it does not search any social media. Therefore very difficult to find an average person.
@BeReal BeReal The FAQ of PimEyes say that they don't search social media platforms like facebook, instagram, youtube, because these platforms don't allow crawling on their data. If you try crawling them, they will throttle your traffic
@BeReal BeReal Yeah if you don't have pictures of yourself on 'normal' websites, you probably won't get results. It completely ignores social media and profile pics. For me and a friend of mine it did find the pictures of 5 years ago in 0.65 seconds. That's scary man😂😂
This thing is OP, I tried it on some people it definitely should not know, and it still found them. This is insane. I also found that a custom filter I use in photos of myself actually manages to prevent it from finding photos of me (high res, fully lit face), which is nice. I'll be using that filter more.
@@thucnguyen9673 It's a filter that makes the photo turn into a collection of tiny black pixels of varying density on a white background that looks like a black and white photo since it's so high res. Apparently this breaks the search engine, compressed versions of the image also seem invulnerable to the search engine too. I also found that applying a translucient purple gradient to a normal black and white photo has similar effects, while still looking like a normal photo to the human eye, just black and white with some added coloring. It could also be because I'm a fairly low-profile guy. I've never posted a clear unedited photo of myself to the internet ever, though I do appear in some family photos, usually in the background or among many other faces. I always make sure to heavily distort images of myself in creative ways like making it an oilpainting or a piece of abstract/visual art precisely to prevent identification from bad actors. It's enough for people who know me IRL to see that it's me, but not enough for a threat actor to build a clear visual profile on me.
@@deidara_8598 I might certainly be mistaken, and if I am, I apologize. But I suspect he was asking more along the lines of which specific filter you use to accomplish the tasks described? - How and where said filter can be located and obtained? - And how to practically implement those features onto a given photo?

Took me a few hours to decide to go for it. I have worked in Club 18-30 in Faliraki, Mallorca and Portugal and I was really worried what might turn up.

I tested this tool with the freebie option and it did not recognize anything. Moreso, my selfie found people based on my general face build, but other than not much in common. I can see the potential in this tool, but i yhink it requires more refinement.
I cant tell you how many time ive been told when ive met new people that i have a "familiar face" or that "you look like someone" but cant ever remember who it is i look like, so i thought for sure something would come up, but nope, not a single match. Tried several different photos, still nothing. Now im questioning if everyone has been lying to me this whole time..
More likely human facial recognition is more "fuzzy". "You look like someone I know" is very different to "you look identical to someone I know" and it's likely the website is better at filtering out "you look similar..." type non-matches than humans are.
i tried this tool for my own photo and also for a friends photo... it didnt find a single result for either of us. there was only 1 photo result returned for my photo and it wasn't me...and for my friend there was 2, but both weren't her
Nice to learn I'm just another white girl online! No pictures of myself came up but weirdly Claire Danes in Romeo and Juliet kept coming up. Our only similarities are light eyes, skin and hair. We don't look similar in any way.
Well, I'm sufficiently terrified. People need to know what risks exist online even if they're just using social media and nothing else. Sites like this are scary considering what's out there and what it could be used for by bad guys.
Besides the youtube one, I don't have any picture of me online. And what scary me the most is not even the technology, it is how easy people give their photos to the internet for free.
I was guilty of pics online in my 20's havent uploaded any in around 12 years now. But I bet those old ones are still out there somewhere. What really scares me is people that constantly post their kids. Did the kids consent? How will they feel in 2040 when they can search themselves up and see their whole life online... that's just scary to me.
I have only recently got into oisnt and like the net in general I am blown away by the awesome beautiful potential of it all BUT leave it to the human race to dive at breaknet speed to the bottom of the moral barrel! Thanks for the info, like all things web related eduction is the key
So hypothetically speaking, someone can take a picture of a random stranger and find everything about them using this tool? That's scary. There should be opposite osint that lets you delete all this stuff online with a simple touch of a button. That would counteract this tool.
I just tried it... It didn't succeed on finding pictures of anyone I uploaded. When adding a second photo it said they needed to be of the same person (they were both of the same person, same day, same clothes, different angle). Eventually I tried with a random internet picture and it didn't see any faces in it; while this could be really awesome, it's still in it's infancy... fingers crossed it will continue to get better (with the way everything is going lately I'm sure it will).
Everybody who watched this video should do a little bit of thinking. If this technology is available to every Tom, Dick and Harry out there for a few dollars a month, what has the government been able to do for at least a decade? People commonly refer to the novel “1984“ as the nightmare scenario, But George Orwell wrote that book 3/4 of a century ago, well before this kind of computer technology was even imaginable. The world in which we all live right now is much worse from the standpoint of privacy than Orwell could ever have imagined. Hell, Big Brother doesn’t even have to monitor us from our homes or cameras in the streets, we do it all the time by carrying around our phones everywhere, and relentlessly, taking pictures of ourselves and the places we go. Our cars track our movements to within a few feet. Privacy is dead and gone forever.
I tried a few photos of my self. Nothing found or the wrong photo. No Social Media. I'm Anon status. Winning! However I didn't get the paid version so Im curious what that would find to be fair.
if the exact date and time of the image are included given the shadow angles it should be possible to geo locate the position. failing that facial recognition software modified to buildings hooked up to google earth should narrow it down quickly
@@shreayankanjilal theres math involved but given a known hight and time with a shaddow to reference you can get a lot closer than a hemishhere lol its the same principal of astro navigation tables sextant and star charts... its a lot more complicated than i know but i am aware of the technique and it is used on occasion
@@ethanfitzgerald1267 especially if it includes geopositioning data lol..but it is possible to use a shadow and a time to nail a location the math is trig and if i truly understood how it was done it would be a simple explination but lol im only aware it can be done. the math is similar to calculating a buildings shadow which changes over time and date... and as you can calculate position using a sextant and watch . they all rely on specific information to calculate an unknown much like in any right angle triangle you can solve for any single unknown side or with trig a side and an angle. it is trignomentry and i know the location is possible to place given a time a known height and a shadow.
Hi Cyber Mentor. Do you know if there's a way to search for someones TH-cam channel, without knowing their youtube name, but instead, using their real name? TIA.
I tried this with 2 pictures of myself, and it did not find me (it found a lot of pictures, but none of them were me). I have not taken any particularly special steps to avoid this kind of detection, so this struck me as kinda odd. Does it not pull pictures from Facebook/Instagram? One of the pictures I tested was my IG profile pic for a while, and the other was definitely uploaded somewhere (just cant remember where).
I was considering making something like this couple years back. An AI program that can detect microexpressions in someones face while they are talking. Wanted to be used as a real-time lie detector and state of mind scanner overall.
Tried this tool just to see and it is useless to me. I either have a strange face or this tool is bad. I am definitely not amazed. I have many pictures of my face online and this found one. I tried several and all found maybe one or a huge amount of other people who don't even remotely look like me. I uploaded a friends face and found NO pictures. Bright side: People cant use this to find me.
From my old photo it found me in uniform on the funeral of my army friend a year ago in Kyiv... also few photos of me 10-15 years ago...few photos of guys who just look like me. At all its a good tool for intelligence
You said you do missing people do you think you can help me it's a little bit more complicated I don't have have a picture of the three that I am looking for
Who else didn't know what OSINT was before watching this? Very interesting, and extremely creepy indeed! As a software engineer and security / privacy enthusiast, I'm very intrigued by this.
@@MMAFightMagazine There's no links because that's a lie. Nobody has access to that many satellite feeds that they could tell whether or what people are shopping for. They just saw 1 episode of billions and made a conspiracy theory over nothing
but it also shows wrong faces. I tried it with a photo of myself and well yeah, I was impressed, even with my cosplay photo, wearing hat and sunglasses, it still found me, but also showed 2 faces that didn't belong to me
The website allows people to opt out from being searchable on it. They won't show results if you request it. They can't do anything about the picture that's already there on another website, though.
I uploaded a pic of myself, and nothing came up. I know I have many pics of myself on the internet over the past 25 years. I think they are collecting pictures of people who are uploading pics to there site.
I have tried 5 diffrent pictures. On this website, not ONE result! After that in google, 12 results!! So i dont know what they pay you for this commercial, i hope its enough!
Tried testing this out. Uploaded my photo, waited to see Pictures that it would pick up instead its asking me to pay. I guess you have to pay first before you can even confirm its working.

i tried this tool for my own photo and also for a friends photo... it didnt find a single result for either of us. there was only 1 photo result returned for my photo and it wasn't me...and for my friend there was 2, but both weren't her
Nice to learn I'm just another white girl online! No pictures of myself came up but weirdly Claire Danes in Romeo and Juliet kept coming up. Our only similarities are light eyes, skin and hair. We don't look similar in any way.
I thought it was going to be so powerful that a whole lot of dolphin images would show up in the search :-)
Well, I'm sufficiently terrified. People need to know what risks exist online even if they're just using social media and nothing else. Sites like this are scary considering what's out there and what it could be used for by bad guys.
Normies don't listen to people like us. They will learn the same way they always do, by finding the landmine with their foot.
I'm not impressed.
I tried several pictures and it sometimes showed very different images, sometimes even the wrong gender.
Besides the youtube one, I don't have any picture of me online. And what scary me the most is not even the technology, it is how easy people give their photos to the internet for free.
thats right my, probably brazilian, mate
I was guilty of pics online in my 20's havent uploaded any in around 12 years now. But I bet those old ones are still out there somewhere. What really scares me is people that constantly post their kids. Did the kids consent? How will they feel in 2040 when they can search themselves up and see their whole life online... that's just scary to me.
Yeah you do. Your profile picture counts haha.
Is it not free anymore? I wanted to try it but they ask me to subscribe to see the results :/
Too bad I really wanted to try that out on myself
I heard about this when I attended a virtual con OSINT class. Frankly I forgot about it. Stalker City for sure.
Wow, that's incredible. In 10 years things are going to be crazy.
I have only recently got into oisnt and like the net in general I am blown away by the awesome beautiful potential of it all BUT leave it to the human race to dive at breaknet speed to the bottom of the moral barrel! Thanks for the info, like all things web related eduction is the key
Breakneck*
So hypothetically speaking, someone can take a picture of a random stranger and find everything about them using this tool? That's scary. There should be opposite osint that lets you delete all this stuff online with a simple touch of a button. That would counteract this tool.
Pretty crazy, nice resource. Might come in handy for red teaming
Apparently 10 pictures for free is no longer available.
Congrats on 300k!
I just tried it... It didn't succeed on finding pictures of anyone I uploaded. When adding a second photo it said they needed to be of the same person (they were both of the same person, same day, same clothes, different angle). Eventually I tried with a random internet picture and it didn't see any faces in it; while this could be really awesome, it's still in it's infancy... fingers crossed it will continue to get better (with the way everything is going lately I'm sure it will).
Everybody who watched this video should do a little bit of thinking. If this technology is available to every Tom, Dick and Harry out there for a few dollars a month, what has the government been able to do for at least a decade? People commonly refer to the novel “1984“ as the nightmare scenario, But George Orwell wrote that book 3/4 of a century ago, well before this kind of computer technology was even imaginable. The world in which we all live right now is much worse from the standpoint of privacy than Orwell could ever have imagined. Hell, Big Brother doesn’t even have to monitor us from our homes or cameras in the streets, we do it all the time by carrying around our phones everywhere, and relentlessly, taking pictures of ourselves and the places we go. Our cars track our movements to within a few feet. Privacy is dead and gone forever.
This is def a handy tool. I'd be worry sum about uploading personal pics, we're just feeding the AI data
Don't feed the a(i)nimals
@@qwerty6574 LOL!
@@tylercoombs1 tm lol
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society
I tried a few photos of my self. Nothing found or the wrong photo. No Social Media. I'm Anon status. Winning! However I didn't get the paid version so Im curious what that would find to be fair.
Jeffery's exif viewer is offline. Does anyone have any recommendations for another good one?
Lol the dolphin was posing too
Barely accurate searches. If the face is a widely common one, the results are close to none.
I wonder if this is scraping and using any exif data in the process?
Thank you for the amazing TIPS! I learned a lot and benefited from your courses!
You could reverse image search yourself and delete any traces.
if the exact date and time of the image are included given the shadow angles it should be possible to geo locate the position. failing that facial recognition software modified to buildings hooked up to google earth should narrow it down quickly
But how much can you narrow down? You might guess the hemisphere but how will you proceed after that?
@@shreayankanjilal theres math involved but given a known hight and time with a shaddow to reference you can get a lot closer than a hemishhere lol its the same principal of astro navigation tables sextant and star charts... its a lot more complicated than i know but i am aware of the technique and it is used on occasion
@@mobiousenigma Thanks for telling me. I don't have much knowledge in this field but I will study about this.
Thanks :)
or look at the metadata?
@@ethanfitzgerald1267 especially if it includes geopositioning data lol..but it is possible to use a shadow and a time to nail a location the math is trig and if i truly understood how it was done it would be a simple explination but lol im only aware it can be done. the math is similar to calculating a buildings shadow which changes over time and date... and as you can calculate position using a sextant and watch . they all rely on specific information to calculate an unknown much like in any right angle triangle you can solve for any single unknown side or with trig a side and an angle. it is trignomentry and i know the location is possible to place given a time a known height and a shadow.
Trying to move into the cyber realm and saw an OSINT challenge and got one right but then todays wrong and someone mentioned your TH-cam channel. :)
Hi Cyber Mentor. Do you know if there's a way to search for someones TH-cam channel, without knowing their youtube name, but instead, using their real name? TIA.
I tried this with 2 pictures of myself, and it did not find me (it found a lot of pictures, but none of them were me). I have not taken any particularly special steps to avoid this kind of detection, so this struck me as kinda odd. Does it not pull pictures from Facebook/Instagram? One of the pictures I tested was my IG profile pic for a while, and the other was definitely uploaded somewhere (just cant remember where).
it didn't find me either and it said that it doesn't trawl social media - I guess we are anonymous :)
How about the kants? Do they also get into the photos?
I was considering making something like this couple years back. An AI program that can detect microexpressions in someones face while they are talking. Wanted to be used as a real-time lie detector and state of mind scanner overall.
Heath I'm having chills
Tried this tool just to see and it is useless to me. I either have a strange face or this tool is bad. I am definitely not amazed. I have many pictures of my face online and this found one. I tried several and all found maybe one or a huge amount of other people who don't even remotely look like me. I uploaded a friends face and found NO pictures. Bright side: People cant use this to find me.
Umm they can now, they prob have saved the pictures uve uploaded lol
How did it score on the dolphin?
another creepy thing about this, is finding the amount of strangers that look like you
exactly my thought theres something so unnerving about it
It found nothing on me but all the people that came up looked crazy, I must look like a psychopath.
Really like your wine barrel.. and thanks for sharing knowledge TCM much love
4:44 -- Argh -- You provided no trigger warning disclaimer about bottle nose reveals! Oh my lost innocence, I wasn't expecting that at all!
From my old photo it found me in uniform on the funeral of my army friend a year ago in Kyiv... also few photos of me 10-15 years ago...few photos of guys who just look like me. At all its a good tool for intelligence
It doesn't work I just already tried three people and it doesn't show nothing about them
just tried the pimeyes and it didnt find anything from th epic i used just a bunch of other people
It cannot find any social media pictures or any videos on websites.
it doesn't give any free searches
I’m not in as much porn as it’s trying to say I’m in. Deeply flattered though 😂
Now consider that a potential employer will search someone’s face, get this impression after a second of looking, and toss a resume in the bin.
You said you do missing people do you think you can help me it's a little bit more complicated I don't have have a picture of the three that I am looking for
Dude i totally lost it and LmAO when you told us about the undefined search result with the free search.....
Is there a voice recognition thing I can use to run these phone harassers through and get their names?
Site Name?
Been using this tool for quite some time. Very useful!
Who else didn't know what OSINT was before watching this? Very interesting, and extremely creepy indeed! As a software engineer and security / privacy enthusiast, I'm very intrigued by this.
@@joeallen9897 Links? Thank you in advance.
@@MMAFightMagazine There's no links because that's a lie. Nobody has access to that many satellite feeds that they could tell whether or what people are shopping for.
They just saw 1 episode of billions and made a conspiracy theory over nothing
but it also shows wrong faces. I tried it with a photo of myself and well yeah, I was impressed, even with my cosplay photo, wearing hat and sunglasses, it still found me, but also showed 2 faces that didn't belong to me
The website allows people to opt out from being searchable on it. They won't show results if you request it. They can't do anything about the picture that's already there on another website, though.
Tracelabs is gonna be fun with this
What's tracelabs
how about the Nakamoto one ??? cant we find him?
4:37 , you had me there for a sec.
It's not the tool's fault if people upload their pictures on the internet. If you're on the internet then you're on the internet PERIOD!!!
I uploaded a pic of myself, and nothing came up. I know I have many pics of myself on the internet over the past 25 years. I think they are collecting pictures of people who are uploading pics to there site.
Oh cool we finally found the Bitcoin founder
Is this still the most powerful OSINT tool out there?
Doesn't work for indian people unless you are very popular 🤣🤣🤣
Satoshi Nakamoto? :P
Would this work if you took a screenshot of a profile pic, say that was on Facebook?
Your AI overlords are just warming up for your Chinese style social credit system.
When I try to use it it says I have already done 3 searches for the day. Has anyone encountered this issue?
I tried it with a pic that is on the internet. couldn't find me!
I tried and it could not find my FB, Twitter
I have tried 5 diffrent pictures. On this website, not ONE result! After that in google, 12 results!! So i dont know what they pay you for this commercial, i hope its enough!
i tried several different photos and came up with nada, just randoms who sort of look like the photos
Tried testing this out. Uploaded my photo, waited to see Pictures that it would pick up instead its asking me to pay. I guess you have to pay first before you can even confirm its working.
Yeah seems the free tier is gone.
It worked , btw , back when it was free i tried it and it worked
I just tried pimeyes using a higher res image of my picture (left) and only found one match. I'm not really trying to hide, so I expected more.
I tried the site - says its not available.
Kinda strange we can't use this any more in my location!? The land of the free right!
It's great for finding doppelgangers but if you're a nobody like me, it's not very creepy.
Interesting and scary at the same time…..thanks for the vid……nice selection of whisky you got there……Lagavulin be great…….I hope you whisky magnificently…….if you know, you know.
I am a proud bastard
This would probably work great for genealogical research, too.
