Why is my walkthrough not showing up above?
• I’m no longer accepting walkthroughs for this specific exercise.
• One or more of your answers were incorrect or missing.
• You asked me not to include it on the list, and I’m respecting your wishes.
• You may have sent me an incorrect or incomplete link.
• You linked to a website that tracks who sees your articles (e.g, LinkedIn).
• I suspected AI was heavily involved in the production of your walkthrough.
• I suspected you just wrote a walkthrough based on my video, and not your own work.
• I haven’t had the time to actually read, and add it yet (give me at least a week).
• I forgot about it (doesn’t usually happen, but I’m not flawless).
Why do some walkthroughs have a ⭐ in front of them?
The golden star emojis were introduced on the second year anniversary of OSINT Exercises. I will be adding them to walkthroughts that I feel stand out and deserve extra recognition. You can read more about my reasoning behind the decision in my blog post: “Two Years of OSINT Exercises: The Importance of Community Learning.”
