1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:03,120
But, Erin, we're talking about making a Facebook sock puppet account.
2
00:00:04,010 --> 00:00:06,800
In order to help build a more secure Facebook account.
3
00:00:08,350 --> 00:00:11,380
Now, first of all, why is Facebook sock puppet account?
4
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:16,180
Well, technically, we should be using a sock puppet account for any social media account.
5
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:18,670
And the reason for that is.
6
00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:25,820
Having a sock puppet account or a burner account is essentially a safe way to do this investigation
7
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:31,970
because what we're doing in this investigation is we want an account that's really not associated to
8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,360
us.
9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,220
We want to make sure that counts fairly clean.
10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,490
So again, if we're using our own social media accounts, we have tendencies, have different people
11
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:42,480
that we're friends with.
12
00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:45,540
We're connected a bunch of different posts and whatnot.
13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,910
And we don't want any of that during the investigation.
14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,710
We want to use an account that's pretty clean and completely disassociated from us.
15
00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:58,460
So the reason for this is if we're doing an investigation, people might not want to be found.
16
00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:04,090
We might these people might look to get revenge on us and whatnot.
17
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:07,750
So again, a sock puppet account is a safer way to go.
18
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:15,700
So building a Facebook sock puppet account now, the old way used to be.
19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,850
You hop on the Tor browser and you build your account.
20
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:26,980
That way, it's using a browser that really doesn't associate to your location, your machine and whatnot.
21
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:36,760
Or use a VPN or use a disposable email service like 33 mail or guerilla mail, or even use a service
22
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,490
like tax free.
23
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:40,060
Give it a bogus phone number and create your account.
24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Now, I do say the old way was using these methods, and I had to recommend as before, and he used
25
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,390
to use myself.
26
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:55,850
However, Facebook constantly does updates, including security updates and using these will get your
27
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:59,300
accounts banned and you might be able to get away with it for a little while.
28
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,070
Probably for a day or two.
29
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:03,020
And then your accounts are going to get banned.
30
00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:06,380
So we want to make sure that we don't use any of these methods.
31
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:10,830
Don't use a Tor browser, don't use a VPN, don't use 33 mail real email.
32
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:19,400
Any of these disposable email services don't use these bogus voice over IP or text numbers or phone
33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,910
numbers.
34
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:21,080
Again, you will get banned.
35
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,200
Facebook does a very good job about vetting these types of things, and it will find it right off the
36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,310
bat when you create them.
37
00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:38,090
So the current steps to take to create a sock puppet account for Facebook is use a dummy email, take
38
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:40,730
the time to actually create a real Gmail address.
39
00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:44,390
A Yahoo MSN would have you create an email address.
40
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,290
Don't use your name.
41
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:48,610
Don't use a real password again.
42
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:52,700
Create a bogus email account with a legitimate email provider.
43
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:57,730
It helps to have a Facebook image I found in activity.
44
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,700
And we'll get into this in a minute and only use this account for ozone investigations.
45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,500
So let's take a look at one method for generating data.
46
00:03:09,250 --> 00:03:14,500
So this this website is called data fake generator dot com.
47
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:20,170
And this just really makes things a lot quicker when generating a fake account.
48
00:03:20,890 --> 00:03:24,860
This could really help you fill out your your sock puppet account.
49
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,300
I find it useful that you spend time figuring out the name, location and kind of the background of
50
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:36,250
this, and honestly, that's more detail than you generally need to go into.
51
00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:40,660
But depending on how you want to leverage that account you, this can come in handy.
52
00:03:41,290 --> 00:03:45,070
And again, it just helps make make that Facebook account look that much more legitimate.
53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:51,010
If Facebook looks at it or the individual you do, an investigation decides to check at your account.
54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,690
So let's take a look how this thing works.
55
00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:58,720
So again, I'm on the data fake generator.
56
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:01,990
And as you can see here, you can see like a country.
57
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,250
And you could select the gender, you can select your age range, and if you want just have the age
58
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:15,170
a certain age, you could actually just put in that that actual number here.
59
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:19,340
So we're going to do.
60
00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:25,860
23 and 23, so we make sure that age just hits that number.
61
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,420
And you can click Generate.
62
00:04:28,410 --> 00:04:36,420
And as you see here, it has a name and gender, age, birthday occupation address, zip code, state
63
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,280
country gives you a kind of a bogus email address so you can use again.
64
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:43,650
I wouldn't use it for creating a.
65
00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:48,690
A Facebook account, again, Facebook's really good at finding this stuff here.
66
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,260
So.
67
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Also gives you the password for your temporary email if you click on there, you actually can't get
68
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,310
emails there, but again, I wouldn't use it for the account.
69
00:04:59,390 --> 00:05:00,840
It gives you a bogus phone number.
70
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,940
Bogus bogus card Yeah.
71
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:10,650
Again, your pin code, your height, your weight, your blood type, your marital status, your vehicle
72
00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:15,390
make model year, serial number, zodiac sign and religion.
73
00:05:15,930 --> 00:05:18,030
So again, it gives you a lot of details.
74
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:21,670
Now for the image, we could use this this person does not exist.
75
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:22,260
Dot com.
76
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,090
And what this is it.
77
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:30,810
It's a machine learning algorithm that takes all these different images from the internet and combines
78
00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:33,300
it into a individual that really doesn't exist.
79
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,030
So if we keep refreshing this page, we could see all these random images of people that really don't
80
00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:39,600
exist.
81
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:42,270
Now, the reason I like using this is one.
82
00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:48,100
We could use this as a profile photo, and we don't have to worry about using someone's real photo.
83
00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:53,710
This is a again a computer generated image that we're using for a profile photo.
84
00:05:53,710 --> 00:05:58,960
So I personally don't feel bad about using this because I'm not, say, going on the internet, using
85
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,830
a person's real photo and saying, Hey, that's me, or this is my sock puppet account.
86
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:10,750
Again, this is just computer generated and all these random images based on machine learning.
87
00:06:11,410 --> 00:06:12,460
So pretty handy.
88
00:06:12,490 --> 00:06:18,100
And again, you can find that this person doesn't exist dot com and keep hitting the refresh, but until
89
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:19,450
you find an image that you want.
90
00:06:20,410 --> 00:06:24,040
So these are different ways we can create a sock puppet account for Facebook.
91
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:25,210
Thank you for watching.
92
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,200
I'll see you next VIDEO.
