Red-Team-Infrastructure-Wiki VS TWINT

I found this as a useful starting point: https://github.com/bluscreenofjeff/Red-Team-Infrastructure-Wiki

We have done it by connecting a Huawei LTE-Stick to a Raspberry Pi with Kali Linux. It automatically sets up a VPN connection to a control server in AWS where we have red teaming infrastructure set up. When we then connect the rpi into the network we can do some SSH port forwarding and connect to the rpi, which is now a network implant where we can do basically anything from. This sometimes requires finding Active Directory credentials around the office or through a phishing campaign (really easy with the access to the local network) or something, in order to get a foothold onto the AD infrastructure.

twint is a project that can scrape twitter data via the webpages rather than the twitter API, which means that it can get more than the last 3200 tweets of an account. Unfortunately it seems that the repo was archived and is no longer in development, so I'm not sure if it even still works. It's also a bit heavy on dependencies and is written in Python, neither of which make it easier to install and use.

The tool doesn't work anymore since Twitter changed its APIs, but a good example is twint. Most people in OSINT are not highly technical and don't know their way around a CLI. On the other hand, a CLI tool is one of the quickest, lowest (dev) cost ways to release a tool to the public, and many developers who build tools for the OSINT community do so for free (open source).

You can try twint which is extensive and should be able to do that. Another is via this twitter downloader but might require multiple runs depending on what you want to archive.

They do have examples that don't specify a username such as number 3 on this page or this one on the main page: "twint -g="48.880048,2.385939,1km" -o file.csv --csv - Scrape Tweets from a radius of 1km around a place in Paris and export them to a csv file."

This will motivate researchers to web scrape to circumvent these restrictions. Twint can scrape tweets and it supports proxies. It can also be multi threaded. A huge hassle and it's prone to breaking when the site changes.

The comment I saw said they used this: https://github.com/twintproject/twint
