Answer the questions below
What is this user's avatar of?
cat
using
exiftool <filename>
we get details about the image, most importantly the copyright owner, since this is an OSINT challenge, we have to do a web search of the copyright name and some of their profiles that comes up is X or Twitter on checking the profile, it has an avatar of a cat which is the answer.What city is this person in?
London
Using OSINT search skills, the other profile that comes up is their GitHub profile, and on their readme, it shows that they’re based in London. Also, using the coordinates
54°17’41.27”N 2°15’1.33”N
shown by exiftool, it shows a different town, which is not the accurate answer when searched on a site like Microsoft Bing Maps or Google Maps, but useful nonetheless, as it might be useful in another OSINT challenge
