🌐 #Osintnewsletter Challenge: Figuring Out the City
City:
San Francisco, California 🌉
Coordinates:
37.72183571, -122.45909244 📍
Discovery Story:
I started to locate the site after observing the picture, in the start it was very difficult to find the pivot point. And it was very time spending task to find the pivot point.
After Spending some time, I have found some pivot point which I have highlighted with red marker below.
I found by observing the 6th pivot point that the picture has been taken from the google map street view. And I have searched the image on all the famous browsers Yandex, Bing, Google, Tin EYE but I cannot find anything useful from there. Upon opening the Image again, I started to look carefully and tried to find anything useful but could not find anything.
I used a tool named “forensically” tool to check the image if there are any hidden information by changing the colors, Then I found a small lead by recognizing that there is some text in picture, I have tried to observe the but could not decide what it was.
I was sure that the site is in some official English-speaking country by looking at the stop sign board and by seeing the cars parking direction in left side. Then a tool geolocation estimation confirmed my doubt that the country is USA and I have also verified the city by matching all the pivots with the city “SANFRANCISCO” by walking freely with street view. And marked the whole city by red line. The roads have no specific markings lines just some basic signs on the roads. And But there was some something the whole areas have sidewalk bump type pads for the blinds in yellow color which was in every stop and every corner of the road and have street name engraved besides the every yellow pad, I have tried to look closely and try to identify the name of the Street in the challenged site but was not sure what it was. But only can find the first 5 letters “HOLLO”.
The Pads have helped me to find the location of the site. I have searched the streets in whole San Francisco in the google having letter hollo or any name resemble to this.
I have found 2 streets at the start named “mollowy glenn” and “cow holly”. I Tried to search that both streets and matched the street name on the yellow pad in both street in both sites but cannot find any resemblance. So, I asked the ChatGPT which gives me the name of HOLLOWAY AVENUE
which was perfectly matched with challenged site pads, so I highlighted the whole Avenue
and by matching pivot point 3 from street view I have found the Site
