Honestly, I have no idea if I am going to come off as a creep by posing this,
|
|
|
|
but I think that reflections are ~~fun~~ scary!

I am not sure how many people are aware of this, but I am going to share it
|
|
|
|
anyway because it is a thing I kindof like doing while being bored. One day, I
|
|
|
|
was on the Internet seeing what new things I can learn and explore. I was
|
|
|
|
getting bored. And suddenly I see an article titled ["Glass Reflections in
|
|
|
|
Pictures + OSINT = More Accurate
|
|
|
|
Location](https://ioactive.com/glass-reflections-in-pictures-osint-more-accurate-location/).
|
|
|
|
Now that, my friend, is something to fill my boredom with.

|
I instantly take a look at it and next thing I know I am amazed by it.
|
|
|
|
Reflections are just so cool! To be fair, I think I have been using reflections
|
|
|
|
way before that day even, but this article taught me something new. I have to
|
|
|
|
pay close attention as well. Not just with pictures, but also real life!

Some great examples of what I am talking about:
|
|
|
|
- The bus (at this point literally engineered to stalk others lol. Look out
|
|
|
|
the window and you can see the phone of the person that is right in front of
|
|
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
- My computer whose left side is covered with glass. If you come in my room,
|
|
|
|
you may catch a frame or two of my monitors because of the reflections from
|
|
|
|
the monitor to the glass of my computer to your eyes.
|
|
|
|
- Eyeglasses (I think there was even a study where OSINT experts tried to
|
|
|
|
recover X% of the user's screen by just looking at the reflection in their
|
|
|
|
glasses though a video call - was not able to find it unfortunately, but I
|
|
|
|
remember the percentage was super high in some example rooms)
