After working in IT and online for the last 26 years I'm still baffled why anyone would want to plaster pictures of themselves all over the internet.
we will all die dude :)
Yup remember that as a kid on AOL, who the heck would put their real address to do this “online ordering”?! 🤣
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!
@@whiteorchid5412 Yeah I know some of those people.. constantly posting 'hey add me, new account, other account got hacked!" LOL
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.
It would be awesome if you found your doppelganger on this. Like "wtf, that's me, but I've never been to the Taj Mahal".
Lmao😂
Wow I have a doppelganger and hes really living the life
only thing is, tool doesn't search popular social media nor video or video thumbnails
@@utubestalker.dotcom yeah that's true it didnt find any photos of me which is fine I only have a singular one on reddit
😂
HR departments will abuse this when hiring people for sure.
Then HR will get fired for watching dick pics at work
Most HR departments don't know how to join an online meeting so.. (There are exceptions ofc)
@@Joey_Shepard HR departments are usually full of psychologist bachelors who dreamt about working with psychology, but ended up in HR
@@Joey_Shepard can confirm.. even the young ones are clueless. I met some young HR people in their 20s who didn't even know basic organization lmao.
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.
Great tool to see if that recruiter from LinkedIn is actually who they say they are.
Great use case - seriously.
Unlikely. LinkedIn is rife with fake profiles.
You sir... You have been awarded a genius metal. I'm totally using that.
Spoiler alert… they’re not
Aaaand the free tier is gone.
yes I am not going to pay for what I can't see either
Yup. Was just about to say that.
Ye not free any more
unfortunate…
Its back
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 do remember vaguely seeing Faliraki Uncovered camera crew during my time there. Really glad to say not 1 photo turned up. So pleased as I am the Photographer than being in the photo. 🤸
The technology is moving way too fast for everyday people to understand the risks involved. Thank you for what you do
Entire nations were erased from the map because of the printing press. Normies are always unaware and unprepared. It's what makes them normal.
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.
When China finishes their affordable quantum computer it will change everything
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.
Computers still haven't found me. Woohoo.
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
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).
For sure. Any time something like this comes out for us to use, you can be sure the government has had the capability for 10 or 20 years already.
Duhh
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.
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.
whats the filter you used?
@@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?
(As opposed to: "What the filter does...")
Either way, if you'd kindly be willing to share the above details of your filter, I would personally be appreciative.
Thank you. 😊
@@MMAFightMagazine I think he did explain it quite well.. you shouldn't expect a full class with steps and code examples etc. That is silly and you don't work your brain if you literally need it spelled out and served on a silver spoon 😉
@@davidkamaunu7887 The response was very informative and useful but the next guys further inquiry is totally justified (I for one would highly appreciate further info). Not everyones brain is able to focus in and find creative ways around the same things as you can. If you manage to find a solution to something, it would benefit others to share what you can. It's not safe to assume everyone will be able to expend the same amount of brain energy, and reach the same solutions that you personally can. (speaking as one on the spectrum, focus and "intelligence" varies from topic to topic).
Yup, two photos tested and both found. Impressive!!
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.
I'm sure they have a special government tier that works just a little bit better.....
@BeReal BeReal hi, i used to be interested in OSINT but i do not do it anymore. I don’t know which tool search social media.
@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😂😂
I have used this tool to find average persons numerous times and have had outstanding results. Try it out, you'd be surprised at what you can find.
4:49 that dolphin's lookin very happy bro 👍
Coming to this video two years later and I never knew this existed. I can’t imagine its capable today
Thank you for the amazing TIPS! I learned a lot and benefited from your courses!
Pretty crazy, nice resource. Might come in handy for red teaming
Congrats on 300k!
I found a photo of me stood in a crowd of a wrestling match
Really like your wine barrel.. and thanks for sharing knowledge TCM much love
Been using this tool for quite some time. Very useful!
I'm gonna pass on sending my selfie to these guys
This occurred to me and I just said eh whatever I guess. I definitely understand your thought process though.
@@mrri8403 But they lack the correlation, context, and content you can provide them with by uploading -- especially if you sign up for an account to upload with, or fail to mask your IP address, or use a browser with additional information that can be gleaned, etc. They probably aren't going to that extent, but suffice it to say, providing them with a picture of yourself has potential for plenty of other ancillary ramifications.
@@mrri8403 My response was about this specific company and what they potentially stand to gather on a person. That's it. Privacy elsewhere is a totally different conversation.
@@mrri8403 FFS, you're all over the place, lmao. Stop moving the goalpost and setting up straw man arguments. You're now conflating at least three massively large topics. Look at what you're saying now compared to your initial reply. Totally different ramifications. Yeesh...
@@mrri8403 I never said not to. I also haven't stated any beliefs beyond an opinion of what PimEyes could stand to gain from a user directly providing them with data. That's it. Go read again. Lol.
What you're stuck in right now is a logical/argument flaw called a straw man fallacy. Look it up. Improve your brain and argument skills. Good luck with whoever you choose to engage next.
Wow, that's incredible. In 10 years things are going to be crazy.
I heard about this when I attended a virtual con OSINT class. Frankly I forgot about it. Stalker City for sure.
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. :)
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..
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*
Good find, thanks for sharing.
Apparently 10 pictures for free is no longer available.
Heath I'm having chills
And THIS is what's available to the public. I read a story a couple years back of a university student that developed AI software to crawl through porn sites and using facial recognition match individuals in the videos to their IG/Facebook. In the end the story goes that they took it down because of the controversy. Not sure if true but it's definitely a possible thing nowadays. Scary times we live in.
it amazes me that people do shit and don't even give a second thought to the ethics..they do it just because they can
@@91Vault Remember that ethics are based on morals which are subjective. To be honest if you are worried about people finding out who are you then you shouldn't be putting any information including your face on the internet.
@@theraven.4 exactre
@@theraven.4 Ethics are not based on morals, it is a field of study of philosophy and it's not relative like people claim it to be.
Tools like these are specially harmful for victims of porn leaks/deep fakes.
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult Philosophy - is the systematized study of general and fundamental questions, such as those about existence, reason, knowledge, values, mind, and language.
Ethics - a set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values.
Moral - of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior.
Subjective - modified or affected by personal views, experience, or background.
Moral relativism or ethical relativism - is a term used to describe several philosophical positions concerned with the differences in moral judgments across different peoples and their own particular cultures.
Honestly, same thing or very similar. A lot of ethics and morals code are influenced by bad personal experiences.
Open Source Intelligence is commonly used by private investigators and law enforcement. Tools like this have been used to assist in finding missing people and tracking criminals. But, like everything in the world can be misused. Remember if someone can find information using this tool. Then they can likely find it with enough searching. 🙄 For that blame the lack of privacy laws in the United States. Open Source = Public Information.
Now you just need a death note book >.>!
It's maybe possible to use this tool to check if your own photo has been copied and used for purposes you're not aware of, speaking of a possible good side usage
Spammers routinely steal faces from real people.
This would probably work great for genealogical research, too.
Nice whiskey display and collection.
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.
Thanks for sharing!
4:37 , you had me there for a sec.
This is amazing!!
Lol the dolphin was posing too
I thought it was going to be so powerful that a whole lot of dolphin images would show up in the search :-)
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.
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.
Great content.
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
Dude i totally lost it and LmAO when you told us about the undefined search result with the free search.....
Nice one. I tried pineyes using my picture and got an entirely different person as the result.
Just amazing keep doing
Can we comment on how bad the OPSEC is if you upload your photo to a random OSINT website?
or someone elses photo to anywhere without their consent
He is a youtuber my guy.. He sold the copyrights to his face a long time ago.
I was really hoping it would find the dolphin.
What the fuck
AWESOME AS USUAL 😎👍
Great! Content!
But does it keep the photo you upload?
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.
4:44 -- Argh -- You provided no trigger warning disclaimer about bottle nose reveals! Oh my lost innocence, I wasn't expecting that at all!
I wonder if this is scraping and using any exif data in the process?
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 :)
please continue stuff like this
Thanks for sharing...
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.
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 is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society
I just started looking for wanted people I'm definitely going to use this tool
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
How did it score on the dolphin?
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
Great video
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).
Yay a new video 😁😁❤️
A good example how AI becomes useful for security!
Tried a couple pics of me and nothing. Pretty relieved, honestly.
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 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
Does it store the photo you upload? Or inform the person you are searching for?
How about the kants? Do they also get into the photos?
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.
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.
Dude you look so similar to that one guy from vice that goes to the worst rated tattoo shop and such. Its something with the way you have your face hella still while you talk and you seem mega calm. Anyways im just exploring around this new niche thx for the educational content
Kinda strange we can't use this any more in my location!? The land of the free right!
Satoshi Nakamoto? :P
Thank you very much
I wonder how often this is used for operation foxhunt.
Tracelabs is gonna be fun with this
What's tracelabs
It found nothing on me but all the people that came up looked crazy, I must look like a psychopath.
Jeffery's exif viewer is offline. Does anyone have any recommendations for another good one?
i tried several different photos and came up with nada, just randoms who sort of look like the photos
Next they need to make one which does the same thing but with locations.
Nice to have it confirmed that there are no photos of me online 😌
Cool but for curious people he’s not that Bitcoin satoshi 😂😂
Yeah, at first I thought they meant THE Satoshi xD
Doesn't work for indian people unless you are very popular 🤣🤣🤣
It only found 2 photos of me. Wrapped with that
how about the Nakamoto one ??? cant we find him?
WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO DATE THIS TOOL??
There's a variety of search engines like this available.
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.
Thankyou so very much
This video was suggested to me and I kinda thought „yeah it’s probably about that strange website with AI face recognition“
I was right and it’s still creepy…
Try tineyes... It is also incredible.
it doesn't give any free searches
It cannot find any social media pictures or any videos on websites.
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.
