This was amazing! Never even knew we could uncrop certain photos. Regarding the "menu" in the photo, it is their receipt tray (facing away from us, as the logo is on the bottom of their trays) which is why it was different from the menu you saw when you searched for photos of the place.
Usually if you use your phone camera's "pro" mode, it captures the image as a RAW file, which is basically a project file that stores way more data than a "baked" jpeg or a png. If you don't export it to a compressed image format after editing, your changes can be reverted.
@@robertollier3085 it's a DNG, not PNG. That's a "digital negative," not "portable network graphic." It's kind of like the RAW format on DSLR cameras. Whoever sent that photo is using a Samsung Galaxy, an iPhone or a Pixel phone that is marketed as having a great camera (though how great is questionable considering the grainy visuals, so definitely not iPhone).
Me: Hey I bet you can’t… Rainbolt: You play games with an inverted y-axis, your wife is afraid of lizards and the high e string on your guitar is slightly out of tune.
The moment he said it was the raw photo I was curious if he was going to look for the geotag in the metadata, but uncropping and finding it regardless is even more impressive
I'd imagine it was saved without location EXIF or it was stripped out before being shared, but even if it was there I can't see Rainbolt using it as it kills the challenge of this video though it would definitely help highlight his underlying point that you need to be careful what you share.
@@Sevicify yeah he would probably go for geo meta data first bc he always goes for the most sensible option but that would kill the challange basically. We start with the assumption that we dont have any geographical data
Most plateformes remove metadata from images when they are sent. This includes twitter. But note that twitter also keeps it in their servers to access if needed.
I'm pretty sure many of us would have narrowed the location down to Hong Kong solely based off of the context (and a bit of account searching). That got him most of the way.
@@mrogantrelike he means he like to find people but Hes putting skull cause he can find someone’s location so basically Hes saying he likes to dox people
what's crazy is that his expression and tone did not change before or after he checked that and uncropped the photo, so it seems like he would have found it regardless, probably would have taken longer.
Moral of the story: If you don't post an image with textual or architectural clues, Rainbolt won't be able to know your whereabouts. This means that if you hold your hand in front of your camera while talking a picture, he will only know the texture of your skin, and that information is of no use. This means you can safely upload hand pics on the internet and... wait, someone is knocking on my door, I'll be back in a minute.
He will see your fingerprint. And getting access to a fingerprint database shouldn't be too difficult for him. So if you have ever committed a crime, or applied for a visa, he will find you.
The camera picture was flipped, and I don't think the bottles quite lined up. I believe he was actually in a table to the right of the image or slightly out of frame. So close, but not exact.
the photo isn't flipped. how would the background allign so good with the other fotos, where he determined the seat location? The menu is rotated 180° Mix -> xiW (The pixels could also be a W )
Yeah, turned what may have been interesting into something more akin to childs play. Surprised at all the posts expressing amazement. Who sends out pictures as dng files? I have a guess as to how that happened but am just going to bite my tongue.
Whats most impressive is his knowledge of photoshop. I’m a graphic artist by trade and been using adobe for over 15 years and still to this day I am learning cool tricks like the dng file.
What's less impressive is that the meta data of the photo will have shown the coordinates of where it was taken and the rest of the video is just fabricated bollocks
@@ZeroOneInfinity He's already mentioned in other videos that he doesn't like using metadata. In this one, he shows alternative methods to reach the solution, since most OSINT exercises you find online don't let you get the coordinates through metadata anyway.
But detectives are saying not flipped, the menu was upside down. It probably belongs to the other person on the table and it read "XIW" in at the top, which means "MIX..." on the bottom when rotated back. Lucky Rainbolt didn't go looking up restaurants with "Wix" or "Xiw"
most phones flip it for selfie mode, since that's what we are used to in the mirror, but don't flip it for a forward photo. makes sense a webcam would follow the same idea.
There has been credit card leaks that way. People take pictures of their brand new card and crop away the codes. Except they don't know that you can sometimes undo it
i believe that's only possible with RAW images. the whole point of them is that they are the absolute original, much like a negative on film. you can make changes _derived_ from them, but most things can be reverted and don't actually affect the data itself. if you don't know what a RAW image is, you probably don't have to worry about it. it should not apply to jpg, png, gif, or webm. if you _do_ know what it is and want to make sure you're not leaking anything sensitive, just don't share the RAW itself. make your changes, and export in any other format, like the ones listed above. if you want to keep it lossless, go for tiff.
@@jan_SankuPretty sure the HEIF files that most phones produce usually have temporary edit metadata, so you can undo changes. Depending on where you send the file it may be converted to JPEG / have the metadata discarded, but in a lot of cases you shouldn't assume it will. If you modify a picture on a phone then export the file by itself on your computer, you might find that it's the unmodified original.
From ChatGPT: "Many desktop photo editing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and even some basic image viewers/editors like Preview on macOS can perform non-destructive cropping. These applications save the cropping instructions rather than actually removing the cropped pixels from the image file."
Only in raw DNF or sometimes HEIF files. Usually when you upload to a social media or use the share button, it converts to a JPEG/PNG/JFIF/WEBP, which cannot be reverted.
@@leviackerman5866 There was also a bug in Google's screenshot editor which caused cropped PNG screenshots to still contain the cropped out picture. So yeah, even if the format doesn't specifically contain the data, malformed files in that format still may.
But like your photo's metadata literally have your exact location, exact time which your took the photo, the specifications for the cropping etc. So like, what more are there to lose LMAO. You can check it by using an applicatoin to remove metadata, then most likely the cropped part gets revealted if there's any. I had to use it when I was pirating pdf for uni's limited access textbooks before it requires subscription. So when I used one cropping sites then another, somehow the part the previous site cropped popped right back out XD.
Woah. Photo flipped was something that came to my mind as well, but it contains the "uncropped photo" was something mind blowing for me. That's how things get changed.
when he said its the "raw" photo and UNCROPPED IT, I was blown away, I had no idea that was possible, i thought he was just about to look at the metadata or something for a geo location i know my phone has that and I make sure thats OFF
I once had a stalkerer. It was terrifying. People shouldn’t stalker other people. Stalkering is bad. Alright thats it I just had to do some puns on the typo
honestly the followers twitter account had clues to where they might be based in the world, or their name, which could allow their other social media accounts to be found and used to find locations they’ve visited. which makes this so much easier than just a photo by itself, as it narrows down the search a lot. i’ve done similar things to this, finding out which cafe’s and restaurants idols have been to, which hotels they’ve stayed at, even found a dorm location of a group once, just from clues like the view from the window, the interior and the bedding. it’s surprisingly not that hard.
Yeah I was quite surprised when I saw that he was using the submitter’s social media account to narrow things down, that seems like a really huge advantage.
never know when someone might exploit him by hiring him to unknowingly find out the location of a stalker's victim or something like that.. always be careful of what you say and do
This is all very impressive, but can Rainbold find the ketchup bottle the same way my mom just magically pulls out of the fridge shelf that I literally just spent a good 5 minutes verifying to be ABSOLUTELY empty??
I feel like I would like to see more things like this where you dont look through their twitter history. I feel like this series is more out to caution people against liveposting their trips, but I would like to see more of this without you already having the knowledge of "this person lives in hong kong" or "this person was in X shortly after this photo was taken". The opening it up in photoshop and trying to extract metadata from the image is also really good as there is lots of info there that people dont realize exists
There is some minimal amount of information you need, though. He would need photos that show more to be able to do that and it is funny how it started off with so little info
"I feel like this series is more out to caution people against liveposting their trips" That is exactly one of the points of this series, it's to show and caution people on how any information you share on social media can be exploited to find your location. If a person wanted to find your location they aren't going to rely solely on what's inside the images, they're going to use any additional external contextual clues at their disposal to help narrow down the possibilities.
@@alexion3007 Ya, without the social media date this photo is basically impossible to figure out. You would need to spend 10s of hours, if not 100+ looking at every major city. The user's social media data literally narrows it down to one city.
really unrealistic for you to "want" that. this isn't a tv show with a crazy script that will shock and awq you every time. you use the most readily and easy information to access first. "work smarter, not harder."
Yeah I’ve started taking a screenshot of my cropped image and deleting the original picture out of habit even if there’s nothing bad in the full version lol
@@JosiahCS You can just convert them to PNG or JPG, neither of those save any cropping information. It's really HEIF most people need to worry about for this since it's a common format for phones to use, if you want to share a cropped image in this format you should do so in an editor that can ensure destructive editing of the original master image data rather than storing it in the metadata or as a derived image.
more visible than the other letters he outlined lmao. sometimes i wonder if these videos are staged. similar to those “build a pool in the jungle” videos where they show the illusion of them doing the work with good convincing explanations.

Bro made stalkering people into the sport
Stalking bro
I once had a stalkerer. It was terrifying. People shouldn’t stalker other people. Stalkering is bad. Alright thats it I just had to do some puns on the typo
@@bakerothman3163 Do you think this is a joke? Identity theft isn't a joke, Jim!
stalkering
@@TheFansOfFiction oh nah
This man is so good that even with explanation 99% of people seeing this won't be able to use his methods
yeah, almost like he has the answer from the get go and just reverse engineer to come up with a pretty story that matches it perfectly :D
Yeah no shit cause you dont have the same knowledge as him
@@anhedonia420 do you have?
@@vitor2557 i mean what he did here is entirely plausible so
we all lucky this guy isnt a VILLIAN 😭
This is the most interesting content on your channel in my opinion. Please continue and do more videos like this
Rainbolt should team up with Duolingo to find and capture people who don't do there Spanish lessons
What about their* English lessons 😂
their* english lessons
Pretty sure Duolingo already has user location data or at the very least ip address
DUDE WHY DO YOU GIVE HIM A NEW IDEA NOW WE DOOMED😓😡
@@srt252 ok buddy
That may not have been the menu, it may be one of those the leather bound things they give you that has the bill in it. Well done, GG.
honestly the followers twitter account had clues to where they might be based in the world, or their name, which could allow their other social media accounts to be found and used to find locations they’ve visited. which makes this so much easier than just a photo by itself, as it narrows down the search a lot. i’ve done similar things to this, finding out which cafe’s and restaurants idols have been to, which hotels they’ve stayed at, even found a dorm location of a group once, just from clues like the view from the window, the interior and the bedding. it’s surprisingly not that hard.
@spaceman10th31 lmaooo yeah, only after the content has been published. it’s not like i’m gonna find them there 💀
Yeah I was quite surprised when I saw that he was using the submitter’s social media account to narrow things down, that seems like a really huge advantage.
Imagine the chaos he could cause if he worked for 2 armies at war.
Good for us he isn't bad.
Yet
That we know of.
never know when someone might exploit him by hiring him to unknowingly find out the location of a stalker's victim or something like that.. always be careful of what you say and do
Just for now
Right now.
7:10 wait, according to the letters the photo was flipped? That means the person must have been sitting on the right side of that bar
no. Depends on the direction the camera is pointed at, if at the photo the bar is right or left to the table. Since the table is round, you cant tell.
That's what I thought as well. I'm so confused here.
bro is too good he needed to speedrun
This guy is really talented! He should really try to play GeoGuessr, I think he'd be pretty good at it
HE KNOWS EVERY OBJECT ON THE PLANET
“If I zoom in, you can see this different colouring”
No I can’t 💀💀
Get glasses
the best doxing guide i've seen
I dont think you understand what/how/ or why doxxing is and how it works bro. Why would the victim be posting photos -.-'
As a Hongkonger, it was fun to see Rainbolt look through restaurants in my home city.
Me too! I didn’t expect it🤩I wanna visit this bar now lol
Me: Bet you can't find the exact location based on a photo of a random pigeon sitting next to a stone on a wooden bridge.
Him: *hold my beer*
“I bet you cant find my ip address” we getting doxxed with this one🔥🔥🔥
Him- '' YOU CAN SEE THE X ''
Me- .........
Edit:255 likes without a reply!! some one needs to fix that
i am so glad this guy is not a criminal
If he has a villain arc we’re screwed
bro went from funny to scary
Ok the photo being flipped is a stroke of genius

so happy rainbolt using his second channel more
Who else is there believes in supernatural?
This guy’s eyes are full of power
Didn’t know Dr. Strange was this skilled
luckily this guy wasn't on a trip while taking a photo
Bro works at the FBI ☠️💀
1:30 this is the biggest brain iq play of all time jfc
Biggest brain IQ huh
You can get the cropped part of a photo?! Never knew that i was shocked
Didn't even bother checking the EXIF data. Too good.

This is all very impressive, but can Rainbold find the ketchup bottle the same way my mom just magically pulls out of the fridge shelf that I literally just spent a good 5 minutes verifying to be ABSOLUTELY empty??
Maybe use your eyes next time instead of ur ass
How does what he did at 1:41 work? How can he just get the original version of a picture that's already been cropped
it's a .dng file, unique to certain stuff
DNG files save Uncropped photos. even the new pixel phones do the same thing.
this is the only guy you DO NOT want beef with
this is the guy our mom's warned us about...
The challenge isn't if he can find it, it's how fast he can
this is one of the best videos i've seen, amazing!
please do more i love these
Not only is he a gifted talent, he's a gifted talent at an activity that didn't even exist 20 years ago.
he's not a geoguessr, he's a geoknowr.
well he found me....
Bros first mistake was sending the dng file 😂😂😂
What's that?
This is horrifying, love it!
I love these! Still get chills, but it's so much fun.
if i saw this in a movie, i wouldn't even believe it

Professional speed stalker
I feel like I would like to see more things like this where you dont look through their twitter history. I feel like this series is more out to caution people against liveposting their trips, but I would like to see more of this without you already having the knowledge of "this person lives in hong kong" or "this person was in X shortly after this photo was taken". The opening it up in photoshop and trying to extract metadata from the image is also really good as there is lots of info there that people dont realize exists
There is some minimal amount of information you need, though. He would need photos that show more to be able to do that and it is funny how it started off with so little info
Adding that kind of constraint inadvertently downplays how there's a vast wealth of exploitable info there is with people's socmed profiles.
"I feel like this series is more out to caution people against liveposting their trips"
That is exactly one of the points of this series, it's to show and caution people on how any information you share on social media can be exploited to find your location. If a person wanted to find your location they aren't going to rely solely on what's inside the images, they're going to use any additional external contextual clues at their disposal to help narrow down the possibilities.
@@alexion3007 Ya, without the social media date this photo is basically impossible to figure out. You would need to spend 10s of hours, if not 100+ looking at every major city. The user's social media data literally narrows it down to one city.
really unrealistic for you to "want" that. this isn't a tv show with a crazy script that will shock and awq you every time. you use the most readily and easy information to access first. "work smarter, not harder."
meeting rainbolt would be terrifying. hes inhumanely handsome and knows everything about you
Why is there a face staring into my soul in the table 💀
That crop thing kinda spooked me ngl, thats a crazy feature. Bet you can find all sorts of shit on ppls cropped images.
Yeah I’ve started taking a screenshot of my cropped image and deleting the original picture out of habit even if there’s nothing bad in the full version lol
@@JosiahCS You can just convert them to PNG or JPG, neither of those save any cropping information. It's really HEIF most people need to worry about for this since it's a common format for phones to use, if you want to share a cropped image in this format you should do so in an editor that can ensure destructive editing of the original master image data rather than storing it in the metadata or as a derived image.
Same

Yeah exactly
more visible than the other letters he outlined lmao.
sometimes i wonder if these videos are staged. similar to those “build a pool in the jungle” videos where they show the illusion of them doing the work with good convincing explanations.
Idk how he saw the other ones but not that ons
@@juliosantiago7182there is no similarity at all
bad OPSEC is what doomed this twitter user. if he didn't give away his place of residence via his account, the mixing room would've been nigh impossible to track down
He looks like dr strange if all the knowledge of multiverse was squeezed into his brain
If rainbolt starts working with FBI the duo will be complete 💀
nice, not bad, we'll take that
