DISCLAIMER: These OSINT challenges are created strictly for educational and ethical training purposes. All scenarios, including user accounts, identities, and online footprints, are entirely fictional—though they may be placed in real-world environments (e.g. social media platforms, forums, websites) to simulate authentic investigative conditions. By participating in these challenges, you agree to the following:

  • Do not hack or attempt to bypass security controls of any platform or website.
  • Do not interact with any real individuals, send unsolicited messages, or engage with accounts not clearly part of the challenge.
  • Do not attempt to guess or crack passwords, exploit vulnerabilities, or perform any unauthorized access.
  • Do not collect or distribute personal data of real people, even if publicly accessible.
  • Stay within the bounds of the law and platform terms of service at all times.

These challenges are designed to be solved using publicly available information and basic investigative techniques. If you're unsure whether an action is ethical or legal, don't do it. The OSINT Game takes no responsibility for any actions you take outside the scope of the challenge. You are solely responsible for your conduct, and any misuse of these exercises is entirely at your own risk.
