By Galen M. Reich, Merel Zoet| Bellingcat Verified At the end of last year, Bellingcat released a set of online challenges that we hoped would test the skills of our audience and the wider open source investigator community. We wanted the challenges to be educational, to encourage people to carry out responsible online research and, most importantly, to be fun!Around 35,000 people took part, far more than we expected.
By Galen M. Reich, Gabòr Friesen| Bellingcat Verified Geolocation is often a time-consuming task. Researchers often spend hours poring over photos, scouring satellite images and sifting through street view. But what if there was another way to quickly narrow down your search area? Bellingcat’s new Shadow Finder Tool, developed with our Discord community, helps you quickly narrow down where an image was taken, by reducing your search area from the entire globe to just a handful of countries and locations.

Bellingcat
Bellingcat is an independent nonprofit investigative collective that specializes in open source intelligence (OSINT) research. Founded in 2014 by Eliot Higgins, it has developed innovative digital forensic methods to investigate global conflicts, human rights abuses, and transnational crimes. The organization operates as a decentralized network with over 30 staff and contributors across more than 20 countries. Bellingcat focuses on investigative research related to war crimes, assassinations, and disinformation campaigns. It offers training programs to journalists, activists, and legal professionals, having trained over 4,000 individuals in OSINT techniques. The Global Authentication Project (GAP) is a volunteer network that crowdsources the verification of digital evidence. Additionally, Bellingcat collaborates with judicial bodies, including the International Criminal Court, to integrate OSINT into legal proceedings. Its findings are widely cited by international media and have contributed to significant investigations, such as the MH17 incident and the Skripal poisoning case.
