Facebook-Location-OSINT

Retrieve someones private Facebook location, using their public information.

What does it do?

If the place where someone lives is not public on their Facebook account, this program will guess it given the targets public facebook account.

How does it work?

  1. Login to Facebooks mobile site.
  2. Get the links to every public photo
  3. Get the usernames of everyone that liked a photo
  4. Get the public hometowns and current cities of every user from step 3
  5. Return the city / town that was found the most

How to use it?

Command: Python get_location.py username_of_target [email protected] facebookpassword

Get the username of the target: Go to their account and look at the url. The url should look something like this: https://www.facebook.com/user.name?parameters=1 The user.name is the username

Why do I need to give my Facebook credentials?

Public information on Facebook is only available to people that have logged in. Thus, to get the public information an account is needed. Check the code, your credentials are only used to login to Facebook.

Warning: This program may generate a login warning.

Requirements

  • Requests library for Python
  • Not the Python Facebook API, this is a scraper it gets all the information from the mobile facebook site.
