Metadata Never Lies

Lab for OSINT: Open Source Intelligence, Finding the Puzzle Pieces

Scenario

A target shared a profile photo directly (not through a platform that strips metadata), so the file still carries its original EXIF. Cameras bake in GPS coordinates, device model, and timestamps. Read the metadata and see what the photo gave away.

Objective

Pull the hidden EXIF metadata out of a photo to recover what it leaks.
