Bronze IOpen Source Intelligence (OSINT): Boarding Pass
Has anyone else had issues with this entire OSINT lab?
In the Social Media lab, I had to create a throwaway X account just to be able to find the content on the Dade Murphy profile. Perhaps this lab should be updated to reflect the way X operates now, with limits on what can and can't be viewed without logging into an account.
I'm now on the Boarding Pass lab, where I have to continue the OSINT research into Dade's Facebook profile.
I'm having significant issues with The Wayback Machine, as it only allows me to access 1 of the 16 captures showing. However, I can't view anything on this 1 accessible profile as I am not logged in, yet I cannot log in through The Wayback Machine.
The lab requires me to find and view an image of a boarding pass he has apparently uploaded, to do some OSINT research on the data within it, but I can't view any images at all!
It seems like this lab isn't possible at the moment for me.
Does anyone have any tips on this?
Thanks

For 'Bording Pass' read carefully the lab instructions: "the above image of his boarding pass" and use https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/ or easier a barcodescannerapp on iphone.

The "Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Social Media" can be done with the wayback machine alone, no need for an account (2018 is the year). A hint to use the wayback machine and the year could be helpful.
The "Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Boarding Pass" has no requirements to search the image.
Both labs can be completed.

Devlin1885-Thanks
I'd clearly misread the lab and thought I was to find the image from Dade's Facebook profile, not the lab. It was driving me crazy trying to find the image but that's because it wasn't there!

Hi Devlin1885- these are all good questions given the multitude of changes that Twitter has undergone since this lab was last updated. I will speak to the lab author. Maybe it's time that Dade joined Bluesky.
