Mapping Social Media with Facial Recognition

Jacob Wilkin

Social Mapper uses facial recognition to automatically correlate social media profiles across sites at scale.

Summary

Automated Profile Discovery

Manual social media reconnaissance is time-consuming, typically starting with finding online presence across various platforms. Automation on mass scale with hundreds or thousands of targets is possible.

Facial Recognition Integration

Social Mapper uses facial recognition to correlate social media profiles across different sites on large scale. Automated searching of popular social media for targets names and pictures detects and groups individuals' presence.

Output and Applications

Results output to reports for quick operator review. Facial recognition removes false positives, enabling faster review. Use cases include automated gathering of social media profiles for targeted phishing campaigns.

Platform Support

Social Mapper supports LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Instagram, VKontakte, Weibo, and Douban with input from organization names, image folders, or CSV files with names and image URLs.
