OSINT Quiz Feb 16, 2021
Marc Krueger set the following for the Tuesday Quiz for Quiztime on twitter
Here is the photo:
So there is nine items in this photo and i'll describe how i found each one and the price below.
1) The easiest one to findis in the middle. The Deutschland passport. Plenty of sites have it listed for €60 from 2018 for a 24 year old and over and 32 pages and couldn't find any increase. Sources https://www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/official-issues/german-passport-deutscher-reisepass and http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/passv_2007/__15.html
Running Total €60
2) The lamp i have seen something like that in Ikea before so that is where i started my search. make it easier for myself i will use the British site then go to the German on to find the matching product and price. Browsing the table lamps i found this product:
So we have the name GRÖNÖ Table lamp as a good match for the lamp. Going over to the german version of Ikea find the price is €4.99
Running Total €64.99
3) While I was on the Ikea website I decided to look at the steps and stools to get an idea of what it could be and found th step stool BEKVÄM. there was also the cheaper TENHULT but i think it is the first as i think the hand tool is hiding the hole in the top.
so the site also has product size which will help size the light up sign.
On The German IKEA website this was €19.99
Running Total €84.98
4) Know we know the size of the stool we can look at the light up sign. The step itself is 45cm wide. using a scale ruler i have i set it to 1:25 scale and got the rough measurement of 30cm for the length of the sign and 20cm for the height. Looking on amazon there is a large number of them that meet this size. The other thing i noticed about the one in the photo is the black top. only spotted on of these and that was:
Running Total €98.97
5) Also on the step was the multi coloured bowls. I have seen this product for sale previously so know that it contains measuring spoons as well. quick google for multi coloured bowls various sizes and measuring i got the following and in the ads you can see the product that matches.
The one in the provided image show it order from the inside being yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, dark blue, light blue, dark green, light green. So there is nine items and in the ads was a set of Joseph Joseph Nest Plus 9 mixing bowls and measuring cups set. Opening that link for John Lewis showed an match.
Running Total €144.43
6) Moving onto the top step. The second obvious product is the Google Nest mini. off to the google store switching to the German site. finding the product and its price of €59
Running Total €203.43
7) Now for the book we can see Sandra ZO ST and a rabbit. Some wildcard searching on google didn't give me much. So need a site that just does books to help with the search. Goodreads should help me here. first search i did was a bit lucky
Back on Amazon for the price of €24
Running Total €203.43
Next couple were found with help of others
8) The hand tool has OBI writing on it. Googling that gave me the obi.com address that then could go through to the German homepage. OBI are "Europe’s No.1 DIY retailer" so like B&Q in the UK and have a range of products they have self branded, so using the search function for OBI gave me 1995 results. So to narrow it down to hand tools and knifes and found this product which matches the rear of the product.
Running Total €206.42
9) First thought was it looked like shampoo/shower gel. So googling "german shampoo mens" gets alot of results for alpecin. so adding -alpecin google then recommended Balea men in images which could be a match for the letters of the bottle
Clicking that give the following and on the second row is the amazon item
So that is €7.99
Final Total: €214.41
