Let's say that we found a public Yandex Metrika https://metrika.yandex.ru/dashboard?id=55694881. Let's try to find information about the website administrator on it. Let's open Yandex Metrica on the date of its registration on 10/09/2019. The only visitor is the one who put Yandex Metrica on the website. We find out that our admin is a man, 25-34 years old. Lives in Kazan.

Everyone knows the WHOIS services. They store registration data about a domain name (date and period of registration, owner's name, etc.). Here are some popular WHOIS services:

▫️ https://whois.domaintools.com/
▫️ https://whoer.net/ru/checkwhois
▫️ https://www.iana.org/whois
▫️ https://lookup.icann.org/

It is much more interesting to get archived data from WHOIS, which is not limited by the GDPR and stores contacts and specific names of domain name owners. I know several such archives:

Undoubtedly useful collections of additional services for studying websites:

How to Set up a Raspberry Pi ADS-B Flight Tracker for OSINT Investigation
This week I finally got some time to add an ADS-B Flight Tracker to my Maritime AIS Pi to facilitate the tracking of both aircraft and sea vessels. This may seem strange to have both trackers on one Pi (bear with me I promise this won’t be all about ships) but there are actually quite a few crossovers between maritime and flight tracking.

Due to the nature of the maritime industry, vessels often employ obfuscation techniques to hide their location. When a vessel turns off its AIS or “goes dark” it can’t be seen by AIS trackers such as MarineTraffic or Vessel Finder. This lack of AIS signal poses a problem for analysts who must now rely on alternative sources to piece together the location of a ship.
