Human Deanon is an activity aimed at finding account information with a minimum set of inputs. For example, as it often happens, only the nickname of Telegram.
To some extent, Deanon is somehow related to the OSINT events discussed in the previous article. This is the same search for information in open sources.
Is it possible to deanon a person? Yes, it all depends on your perseverance and flight of thought. From the point of view of the human factor, if the information obtained from the nickname/description of the profile is not enough for us, then we can enter the chat with the person, finding his preferences.
Let me give you an example. You want to deanon a person in a chat on landscape design. The purposes of this deanon are a matter of your conscience, so we will omit them. And so, the "victim" is determined. And at this stage (without technical nuances yet), we can recall the social engineering bequeathed to us by Kevin Mitnick. That is, to start communicating with the victim, to gain virtual trust with him. In fact, many users are convinced that when communicating on the Internet, they are safe and more likely to make productive contact than if this situation is in real life. In addition, this is a great reason to practice social engineering.
As for technical issues, you can try to look up the victim's nickname on Google, because it is not uncommon for the same nickname to be used in different social networks and resources. For example, you saw the nickname Elliott in the info chat on Telegram. It can be assumed that the person is a fan of the series Mr. Robot, since the main character of Elliott is there. Perhaps he goes through various hacker sites to train his skills, you can look at them and see such participants in the same nickname. By doing this, you are already collecting a little information about a person.
In addition to manually searching for information by nickname, you can also use a tool from GitHub. It is called Maigret Osint, you can download and try it out by following the link - click here.
In terms of beautiful visuality and convenience, there is an unsurpassed tool called Maltego.
It is available in both the paid and free versions. By the way, the free version is quite functional, so it is enough to work.
Maltego analyzes the submitted data and builds a graph of connections where the victim was exposed, which is very convenient for determining the vector where to drop.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with these tools in relation to yourself and see where you managed to light up =)
Deanon - from the word de-anonymization - loss of anonymity status.
