Social Engineering Challenge #7: You've got mail!

My task was to mail the card, which states my task, to a fellow player.

I was faced with a dilemma as i did not know everyone's last name in class besides my two team mates (Pink Mystery & CaptainBlack X31). Also i was not sure of the city/town everyone lived in besides one fellow player.

First I decided to do searches on both of my team mates. Since i am friends with both on facebook i decided to check their "About" tab to see if they listed anything in "Places lived" Both listed Boston which was very vague. Next I did a google search on both their names.

For CaptainBlack X31 I found a couple of like posts related to facebook and i found his LinkedIn page. On his LinkedIn page i noticed his current employer which listed two different positions held presently at the same company with different addresses. That was a little confusing so I eliminated him as a target.

For Pink Mystery i found her LinkedIn page as well and what's actually funny is that when i signed into my account (which i don't even use), it showed that Pink Mystery had visited my page previously, lol.

Even though i did not know the city/town they both lived in, i still did a name and state search with their names, using ZabaSearch.com and White Pages.com but nothing came up. I decided to eliminate Pink Mystery as a target as well.

I decided to give it a break and come back to this later. While scheduling a lab, i noticed that the screen where you choose to schedule a lab lists a partial class roster. Remembering some of the first names of some of my classmates, i noticed the last names for TheBlack Capo, Agent Raven Blue, InspectorGreen2013 and Admiral Aquamarine.

I decided to once again do a couple of searches with each of their names. I found all their Facebook pages and out of the four of them, only Agent Raven Blue listed a "current place" she lived in. I also noticed TheBlack Capo listed an employer. I also found three of their LinkedIn profiles.

I decided to first do a search on Agent Raven Blue. I could not find anything linking her to her current city she lived in. I did however find a lot of other interesting things about her; lets just say busy and determined woman! Not much to go on so i eliminated her as well.

As for the search on TheBlackCapo, I couldn't find a local address for his employer. Other things i found was sports related. Nothing else to go on so i eliminated him as well.

I decided to do a search on Admiral Aquamarine. I remembered in class he mentioned on numerous occasions a specific city/town he lives in. I did a search with his name with that city/town and nothing came up. Searching his name i found a couple of twitter posts, youtube uploads, facebook reviews too. I then went over to his LinkedIn profile and the first thing that caught my eye was his current employer. I remember him talking about working at this specific place. I searched for the local address and found it. The task did not specify a home address so i said what the hell, go for it! Let's just say, you should be receiving mail my friend!

I could've just targeted one player and spark up a casual conversation and try to get their address, but if nothing came up with that information then i would be back at square one. I feel like doing all this research, i learned a lot of information about a few of the players.

I felt like a total creep, stalker doing searches on my fellow players . This was totally invading your privacy, but I didn't have to do  much to obtain it as it was all public information that you all either put on the internet yourself or was placed by a third party via your permission.
