While you may not get much from the latitude, longitude, and timestamp data the app displays for each bit of information it finds, the Map tab uses Google Maps to give you an easy to understand view of the location for any data it pulls. Your target's location is even highlighted with a red marker when you choose one of the program's results, and you can see the source at the bottom of the list.
If you're going to keep tabs on someone long-term, the searches will get faster because the data are stored in Creepy and only new information is retrieved by the app.
There's no Help file built-in, and the Help button just takes you to a gift-hub site where issues about the app are discussed, but it doesn't take much guidance to enter a user ID. Even if you don't use Creepy to locate others, you might want to check out what it shows about you. We did find some minor issues during testing, and the application installed a desktop icon without asking and left files behind when it was uninstalled.
Creepy is a geolocation aggregator. In the version released, twitter, flickr, foursquare through twitter and a list of image hosting services are supported. Locations are determined by: Location information on twitter; foursquare checkins; exif tags from pictures uploaded to a number of image hosting services and posted to twitter; geolocation information from photos posted on Flickr. Locations are presented as a list and are also shown in an embedded map courtesy of the awesome osmgpsmap widget.
For each location, the context is also presented i. Features include automatic caching of discovered information retrieved tweets, determined locations in order to minimize API calls to twitter and flickr, and a not so nice GUI in pygtk.

Creepy will help you see where you've been and the location information it has found from your photos or check-ins. Creepy is super easy to use. Enter in a Twitter or Flickr user name or both and let it search. It might take a while if the user has a ton of tweets and photos.
Once its done searching, you'll get a map of all the locations it found and a list of locations sorted by date.
Creepy is actually a very good tool to use to see where you've been and to read past tweets. Within the list that Creepy provides, you can right click and open up Google Maps to see the exact location. This is great as Creepy has trouble rendering locations on maps, often becoming pixelated or not loading at all. Overall, Creepy is a good tool to find publicly available location information from Twitter and Flickr but could use some work on performance and fixing its map loading issues.
Laws concerning the use of this software vary from country to country. On the bottom side of the user interface, there is a text field that includes useful information about the retrieval process, such as how many tweets were analyzed, and information about possible errors that Creepy encountered while trying to access targeted services.
From here, we can navigate the map using the embedded controls or just by simply dragging the map around and have a detailed overview of specific geographic areas or zoom out and have a global overview of retrieved locations in wider areas. Alternatively, we can navigate through the results by using the location list on the left. Double clicking on any location from the list, will focus the map on that specific geographic location and will also present relative contextual information in the text area underneath the map.
Information is blurred out due to privacy concerns. We can also select the map provider and the associated view from a list that includes Google satellite, street, hybrid views , Virtual Earth Maps satellite, street, hybrid views and openstreetmaps among others.
That means that the next time we will need to search for a specific target, only the newest tweets will be retrieved and analyzed and all former known locations will be loaded from cache.
Moreover, all errors are cached. Apart from this internal caching, we have the option to export our results in the form of comma separated values. How it works, which python libraries it uses etc. Creepy is an open source licensed under GPLv3 python application. It is organized in six classes. What is the rationale behind Creepy, one might think, and in which cases can it be of assistance as a tool? Creepy has a twofold goal:. First goal is to raise awareness among the users of social networking platforms.
Awareness regarding the amount of information they actually do share, and awareness regarding the potential misuse of this public information by people with not so benign intentions. It is a showcase of the potential risks of excessively sharing private information in a public manner. Creepy allows users to check and visualize their online presence and realize the magnitude of information they unwittingly put out there. Hopefully this visualization will make them revisit their online conduct, deleting information they have already posted, deciding to share less or at least fine-graining who has access to it.
The second goal was to create a handy tool for security professionals. Creepy can be really helpful in the early process of information gathering during a penetration test.
For example, the information that X was in a coffee-shop at The fact that X might be in that coffee-shop around Also, Y posting on twitter at random times from a specific location might not reveal enough. However, if analyzing the locational timeline in Creepy we see that all tweets from that specific location are posted between 8. All this information can be really of help in the process of social engineering during a penetration test.
Well the answer to that is surprisingly simple. Put restraints to our need for exhibitionism. Education and caution. Treat the web for what it is: A public place where information, once released, will be persistent and out of our control. More practical advice:.
