About Device Activity Tracker
Device Activity Tracker is a proof-of-concept tool that exploits the timing of message delivery receipts in WhatsApp and Signal to infer target device activity. By measuring round-trip time (RTT) variations in delivery confirmations, it can detect when a device becomes active, when it changes network (suggesting location change), and establish activity patterns over time. Based on academic research into metadata leakage in encrypted messaging platforms. Useful for understanding the privacy implications of delivery receipts.
About Telegram Nearby Map
Telegram Nearby Map is an OSINT tool that exploits Telegram's People Nearby feature to discover and geolocate Telegram users in a given area. It uses trilateration techniques combined with the distance information provided by Telegram's API to plot user locations on an interactive OpenStreetMap-based interface. Security researchers and OSINT analysts use this tool to demonstrate the privacy risks inherent in Telegram's proximity features and to map user activity in specific geographic regions. The tool highlights a significant operational security concern for Telegram users who have the People Nearby feature enabled, as it can reveal approximate real-world locations without any direct interaction.
