Updates
I apply all updates to the digital files as soon as they appear below. These details are simply for reference for those with pre-existing VMs or tools. New installations and downloads do NOT need to apply the following. This is just a log of changes within the files.
August 16, 2026:
The resources from the 11th edition of OSINT Techniques are now available publicly without a password. Please use those instead of the outdated resources here:
https://inteltechniques.com/osintbook11/
December 16, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to include redundancies for USB access within the VM. The following can be manually executed within Terminal in the OSINT VM to replicate the changes.
sudo groupadd vboxusers
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers osint
sudo adduser osint vboxusers
sudo groupadd vboxsf
sudo usermod -aG vboxsf osint
sudo adduser osint vboxsf
reboot
Please remember that you must enable USB 3.0 if using a strict USB 3.0 storage device, such as a USB-C SSD (Settings > USB > USB 3.0). Note that may kill USB 2.0 devices and you must have VirtualBox Guest Additions applied to see this option.
October 10, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh (again) to include an additional command to ensure Tor Browser is installed.
October 7, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to include a sed command which corrects the "Export YT Info" option within the Videos Download script. This is already incorporated into the linux.sh script for new builds and does not need to be executed if creating a new VM after this date. You can manually correct your pre-existing installation with the following commands.
cd ~/Documents/scripts/
sed -i 's/\-info \-\-write\-comments/\-info \-\-write\-info\-json/g' video-download.sh
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to provide a current functioning way to install Tor Browser on most machines. This will be replaced with Flatpak instructions once ARM processors are supported within that release. If you want to attempt this on an existing VM which does not have Tor Browser, conduct the following.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential dh-python python3-all python3-stdeb python3-pyqt5 python3-gpg python3-requests python3-socks python3-packaging gnupg2 tor git -y
git clone https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher.git
cd torbrowser-launcher
./build_deb.sh
./torbrowser-launcher
cd ..
rm -rf torbrowser-launcher/
August 3, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to remove WhatsMyName, which no longer allows us to install the script. Fortunately BlackBird incorporates these abilities, and it has been the superior option within the Username tool. The following commands remove WhatsMyName from the Users-Emails Tool and Updates script for existing builds. This is already incorporated into the linux.sh script for new builds and should not be executed if creating a new VM after August 3, 2023.
cd ~/Documents/scripts/
sed -i 's/FALSE \"\$opt4\" //g' users-emails.sh
sed -i '50,55d' updates.sh
July 17, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to correct recent Firefox changes.
April 17, 2023:
Added line in linux.txt and linux.sh to correct typo in instagram.sh. VMs created before this date can execute the following to correct the issue.
sed -i 's/followinfnumbers/followingnumbers/g' ~/Documents/scripts/instagram.sh
March 2, 2023:
Corrected typo in linux.txt, linux.sh, and this page in reference to the video-utilities script.
March 1, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh to include Whisper transcribing and translation utility, and added options within the Video Utilities script (video-utilities.sh) and updates script (updates.sh). Any new builds with either linux.txt or linux.sh after this date possess all required software and configuration. You can manually update existing VMs with the following.
sudo pip install -U openai-whisper
mkdir ~/.cache/whisper
cd ~/.cache/whisper
wget https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/main/whisper/models/9ecf779972d90ba49c06d968637d720dd632c55bbf19d441fb42bf17a411e794/small.pt
cd ~/Documents/scripts
rm video-utilities.sh
wget https://inteltechniques.com/data/osintbook10/video-utilities.sh
chmod +x video-utilities.sh
sed -i 's/cd \~\/Downloads\/Programs\/internetarchive/sudo pip install \-U openai\-whisper\ncd \~\/Downloads\/Programs\/internetarchive/g' updates.sh
February 2, 2023:
Updated tools.zip offline search tools to correct HTML formatting error and add all API resources.
January 27, 2023:
Updated linux.txt and linux.sh files to reflect change with Eyewitness installation path. Also added sed command to update the updates.sh script. If you want to repair your current installation, execute:
cd ~/Documents/scripts
sed -i 's/ChrisTruncer/FortyNorthSecurity/g' updates.sh
