geo location of for example twitter posts.

Cree.py Its an information gathering tool that extracts geo location of for example twitter posts. It can build an entire map of someones whereabouts. Its indeed creepy and a nice realization of what people just publish on the web. Check out the link its does much a much better explaination of what I just did. I. Installation: Installation in BackTrack is quite simple: In a command console type: Nano /etc/apt/sources.list And add this to the end: deb http://people.dsv.su.se/~kakavas/creepy/ binary/ Then in the console type: apt-get update Then to install cree.py type: apt-get install creepy Creepy is now in the global menu under Applications-> Internet. Or can be run by typing. Creepymap: Into the console. II. Running Cree.py Once you start creepy up you are greeted by a very nice GUI interface. In the “Search For” box you type in the full name of your target and hit “search”. Once the search is done you can scroll through all your choices and double click them. Which will place their nick into the Username field. After that click the “Geolocate Target” button. That opens up the map view tab and starts to scrape through the targets tweets and other information looking for geolocation data. Some of the other great features of Cree.py is that you can export your targets map as a Google Earth filter and then open it up in Google Earth. As you will see Cree.py is just that – CREEPY, but what a great tool to gather information and building profiles on targets :)) Photo: Cree.py Its an information gathering tool that extracts geo location of for example twitter posts.
