Facebook tools

Description

This tool is a simple way to quickly search for multiple keywords from a list (i.e. if you have a lexicon or keyword list) or open mutual friends for multiple profiles at the same time. It simply loads a new tab for each word or ID searched to create efficiency when working from a list of search terms or IDs, it does not do any advanced searching or automation

Looking for your Facebook profile ID / Group ID / Page ID

Alternative Facebook Graph Searcher

As part of your OSINT investigation you may want to view a persons friend list but unable to do so because of the users privacy settings. One method would be to look at who likes and comments on the users timeline as this can often give us insights to who their friends are but this at times can be a repetitive and drawn out process, which is were the Facebook Friends List Generatorchrome extension comes in.

Before the Cambridge Analytica scandal in early 2018 you was able to lookup the Facebook account linked to an email address depending on the privacy settings. This was a very useful and popular research method within the OSINT community, law enforcement and your average stalker. This Chrome Extension brings back that ability.

To use this chrome extension it requires you to be logged into a Facebook account, once logged in and while that page is active only will the extension work. This is due to the request that’s made to the website requiring a valid token/session.

Simply provide an email address which is of interest to you and click Search. If a match is found the profile id will be returned as well as the profile image if one exists.

I always recommend using a second account, one which you would’nt be bothered about loosing, when using tools/methods like these.
