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.
Fantastic! Bartender's perspective: in addition to the table in the pic at 6:47, one of the drinks on the table is the same drink your fan has. Same glassware, same drink color, similar amount of foam, same garnish. The garnish looks quite unique.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 )
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.
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.
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.
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

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.

@@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.
If you have heard of the country Slovenia, I will be astounded. It is a very small but beautiful country near Croatia and if you are ever near a river there called the Soća river, it is a must see. The river has a limestone floor so it really is as beautiful as it is in the pictures.

Here's a technical photography tip -- raw images (especially when taken on DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras) contain EXIF data, which, sometimes, can contain any information including: Device name (Names can be regional, for instance, a Canon EOS 800D is called a Canon EOS Rebel T7i in America.) GPS location, time of day, ISO, Shutter speed, aperture setting and flash on/off. The last four can be used to determine the lighting in a location.

This reminded me of the scene where jotaro found a fly in a dark photo and figured out to go to Egypt
"yeahh, that is definitely an "M"...
- "Euuhhhh...... oke.......'
are u french ?
As long as this particular bro lives on this planet, nobody is safe
well he found me....
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.
This is horrifying, love it!
Bro that's insane, you are a genius
3:43 "Hong Kong Hung Hing Long" 💀💀
Imagine being doxxed by rainbolt…. He won’t even need to hack your info
ahh hell nah yo ahh trippin
I really enjoyed this video please make more like this. Watching the kind of detective work you do to find the location is fun ash
this is one of the best videos i've seen, amazing!
The XIM -> MIX plot twist was kinda crazy
Professional speed stalker
I feel it’s somewhat concerning that people can just do this if they have the time, intelligence and some luck
The challenge isn't if he can find it, it's how fast he can
If the image metadata was accessible, this would've been a very short video
FBI told me they wanna hire you.. but I told them my man don’t F with police.
its kinda crazy how confident you were with the xim/mix thing once you figured it might be hong kong, i would have instantly thought that those are thinner chinese characters that got too grainy to be readable at all
