Beginners Quiz

Introduction This OSINT quiz touches different topics within the world of open source intelligence. Each question covers a single topic, where you can learn different techniques that can be used to find information online. The questions in this quiz are meant to be easy enough so that anyone starting out in the world of OSINT is able to answer them without a lot of help. And in case you do need a little help, there's always the hint button on the bottom of the page.

Whether you are a novice or someone who's been working in this line of work for quite some time, you still may learn something new or rediscover some long forgotten techniques!

There are 6 different topics throughout this quiz, and each has three questions. These topics are:
How to play Every question should only have one correct answer. When you find it, just fill in the answer and press SUBMIT. If the answer is correct, a page with the next question will open and you can work on the next task. In case you're stuck on a question, then there's a hint button on the bottom if you need it. You will receive a hint that should give you more than enough information to solve the current question.
Question The following question was the very first task in the original 2020 quiz, and is merely a little warm up. Only basic search skills on Twitter are needed for this one.

Are you testing the hint feature? Or are you a bit stuck? Either way, have a look at the search options on Twitter. If you've done this before, you can search directly within dates by using the search bar, but there's also an advanced search option available.

One extra tip: If you search for a date using the 'until' operator, make sure to add at least one extra day, because else you might miss certain tweets. I'm not sure why this happens, but it may have to do with the difference in time zones.
