Investigator Use
StalkFace is a Facebook profile analysis tool that provides structured viewing and analysis of public Facebook profile information, posts, friends, photos, and related content for subject investigation. It offers features for analyzing public Facebook data without requiring a Facebook account.
For OSINT investigators, Facebook remains a primary intelligence source for people investigation despite increased privacy defaults. StalkFace provides access to publicly accessible Facebook content in a structured way that facilitates systematic review.
Facebook profile analysis covers public posts, check-ins (location data voluntarily disclosed), tagged photos (connecting subjects to locations and other people), listed events (revealing activities and associations), and the friends list (mapping the subject's social network).
Location intelligence from Facebook check-ins and tagged locations reveals where a subject has been — check-ins to specific venues, tagged locations in posts, and events they've attended all contribute to a geographic profile of their activities.
Photo analysis from Facebook galleries reveals physical appearance across different time periods, social connections visible in group photos, and location context from backgrounds and tagged locations.
Social network mapping through Facebook friends lists (when public) identifies family members, associates, colleagues, and community connections. Investigators can identify mutual connections between subjects and other persons of interest to establish relationship networks.
Facebook Marketplace listings may appear in public profile searches — relevant for investigations involving goods transactions, fraud, or identifying a subject's possessions.
Limitations: Facebook's increasing privacy defaults mean many profiles have limited public content. Investigation of private profiles requires other techniques. StalkFace only accesses content that Facebook makes publicly visible without authentication.
