/Telegram-OSINT

In-depth repository of Telegram OSINT resources covering, tools, techniques & tradecraft.

Telegram-OSINT





I have created this separate Repository for Telegram as there is a large amount of resources available. Remember if you are investigating / researching on the actual platform to beware of your own OPSEC. Some BOTS will ask you for your Telegram phone number and you should think OPSEC before you decide to use the BOT.

Consider, disposable devices, which you can reformat, Virtual Machines, VPNs, anti virus, malware protection, sock accounts and don’t forget your settings. You may want to disable automatic downloads, in your settings, this may prevent you inadvertently downloading something.

Check that you are happy with any of the resources you use, as an example,two of the browser extensions have quite evasive privacy polices, read them first before using them. Some of the Bots are free others are paid for services. Always remember youe OPSEC when using Bots,as not all will be what they say they are.
