Hi Sun, I am happy I found this video and channel :) I am wondering if the metadata from images can end up on big social media sites like twitter for example? Say I uploaded a picture to twitter, can someone determine my location/device? Or can a website remove the data similar to homebrew?
Thank you for your video. Yes, we have to understand what really happens to our info in internet. Please make more videos from the begining to expert levels.
HI Sun thank you for making these videos they literally introduced me to the field of privacy and security - so thank you again for doing this it means a lot and is greatly appreciated! I am very interested in looking into to the things you mention towards the end, though I am completely new to all of this! Would you talk about routers and what to be aware of regarding them at some point - if that makes any sense
I am so happy this research is helping others think about the privacy implications of using technology. I tend to not trust anything beyond the computer-layer so my privacy and security stack is portable. What aspects of routers are you interested in?
@@sunknudsen Hi Sun thank you for your reply. I get a bit insecure about the router and the wireless network whether that is easy to hack into. The question is very basic probably - how to understand the the function of the router and how to secure the router and the wireless network? When you find your IPS, they provide you with router, then you plug it in, write in the code and then it works. Is there something to be aware of with the router beyond that, when it comes to privacy and security? Thank you for taking your time to answer the questions greatly appreciated!
Hello bro i have a probleme while tryine to delet the function color type RGB i want to remove it completely but it wont I will try ur tick to see thanks
Late to this video, but, as per question at the end, PLEASE DO IT! Like you stated, Technical and Privacy literacy is extremely imperative these days. You got a sub from me. Keep up the great work!! Cheers,
I have a question So my canon lens 25-105 f/4 sum has been stolen I know there are some websites that notify you if the lens is being used With that being said Is it possible nothing has popped up because they are removing the EXIF info which usually tells you what gear you use including lens and lens serial number
Question Sun: I know Tinder tracks the photos we upload to make it difficult to renew an account. Do you think they do that by storing the EXIF data? How else would they be able to recognize a previously uploaded image?
Hey Mikey, my gut feeling is Tinder uses image matching or face recognition algorithms. I don’t think EXIF would be useful in this use case unless a user uploads the exact same image.
@@sunknudsen Yeah that's what I am thinking too. I really do not like them using facial recognition, but I also like the app. Do you have any idea how to circumvent a facial recognition algorithm or image matching?
Not a fan of installing and maintaining a cli package manager to install a single cli utility from a third-party repo. kind of surprising this is necessary when macOS has had a native application repository through the App Store. It's worth explaining how to use verify the integrity of a downloaded package file with the SHA1 hash (using the built-in cli utility) and then bypassing all of the flags from macOS. There IS an uninstall script so you can uninstall both the tool and the package manager when you're finished using them thankfully.
Great question! Just shot a short video on my iPhone after temporarily enabling location services and allowing the Camera app to use my geolocation. Result: YES!
is it possible to drag multiple pictures in the terminal and delete all the exif on all of them at once? And als do I have the problem after hitting enter with the code and the file added, the terminal writes "no file specified" what am I doing wrong?
I'm down! I don't even use a Mac, but you're great at explaining complex ideas. And being entertaining on camera is not something many people do well at all.
@@sunknudsen I haven’t. Thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reply. I binge watched your videos over the holidays and have a lot of work ahead of me !
Thanks ... your way is too hard for me. Is there a more simple way to remove the metadata? Perhaps with iPhoto or iMovie - without having to install 3rd party softwares and doing codings ? Thanks
I think exif in PS and LR are relatively different than Sun is explaining. They are based on your camera Brand and the lens and other technical INFo to support your processing of the photo. Unless you used a GPS mode ( some cameras are equipped with this, so this Google spy exif will be intergrated. If you use a iPhone / iPad shot photography or other brand phones with GPS and process them in LR or PS definitely they are there in your photos as spy exif. These are the Mac iOS exif ( Spy exif ) that's permanently and he is talking here. If I am wrong please correct me.
Nice but this does not support video. Is there something similar to video? I just want to see if my videos that I shot are H265/4, resolution, framerate. The SIMPLEST THINGS on planet. I just went nuts the last 2h because I shot some video in 4k, 6k, 4k120 and FHD 300fps. I cannot make sure what it is!!! I am a 20 year windows user and it takes 2 keys to get this info if it is XP or newer: ALT + ENTER. When I come home and I have 50 videos to go through I need a 2-3click process. And I also cannot load Davinci, open a new Project, load the videos into that, than close, delete the project. I dont know how MAC user can say that they can "work" on such a machine. Everything takes 20 steps and 5 payed programs.
Hey, Sun, maybe you want to pin this comment so people get this other more advance tool for viewing/removing metadata from other type of files (I suppose it could be installed the same way on Mac as you showed) It's "mat2" (metadata removal tool). Write each command followed by the filename or path/to/filename: - To view metadata: mat2 -s /path/to/filename - To erase metadata: mat2 -V filename (This creates a copy of the file "name.cleaned.file" without any metadata There is another option to remove and overwrite the file, but I won't put it here so nobody does that by error 🤣. You'll be surprised how much info there is in any .doc or .pdf file you create. Even username... wich in case of an attack you already have de username to start forcing passwords or whatever. You should never send/publish on web any important corporate/Gubernative/personal document without removing the metadata before!!
And btw, if you use adobe reader, yes, all that metadata in any PDF you open is send to adobe 😌. After you do mat2 -s to a few of them you would be so mad to adobe for all it has gathered about your readings 🤣
It also integrates with Linux file explorers. I don't remember if its a different package, though. But if I right click on a file on Nautilus (GNOME files) there's an option to "clean" the file
Dude! You are so awesome thank you for this video and you are so right about the digital literacy thing to gain our sovereignty back. If you can explain it in a way that we can understand I believe intelligent people would jump at the chance. Tbh, this is the first video of yours that I have come across and I am so impressed. However even this video went a little fast for me...you may have to dumb it down even more...just for the fundamentals. Really the fundamentals are so important, they need to be drilled in. i.e...how to get my command line again without looking at one of my bookmarks to find the lesson on that? When you don't use it all the time it drops out of memory. Perhaps you could do a fundamentals set of lessons so that we can navigate these damn machines without the frustration, so it becomes the norm. Im very interested in privacy as a human right and do what I can, vpn private browsing, disabling what I can.. but really its not enough.
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. Finding the right level and speed for this content is a challenge. I will take your feedback into consideration.
Morning, yes! As mentioned in the episode, disabling location services will remove geolocation which is the nastiest metadata. To remove all metadata, you can send the image to yourself using Signal. That being said, if a macOS alternative is possible, I like that using exiftool, we can confirm metadata has been removed instead of blindly trusting an app.
As of iOS 12, there's a built in way to do this when sharing as well. 1) Find and select the video/photo(s) you want to share without metadata 2) Near the top of the screen, select "Options" on the photo information line. An example is "2 Items Selected; Location included; Options" 3) Options to include/exclude location metadata and all other metadata are available.
Can anyone confirm if this is still working on images taken with IOS 14? For me this is not working on any images taken with the latest IOS version....
Fucking don't stop making videos! No, nothing is advance coz you make things simple af. So make those videos, i'm waiting for em and i'm sure the others are too
@@sunknudsen I had the same problem since the new edge was there with update 2004 and he knew a fireox bookmark folder that hasn't existed for a while... That shocked me The problem is that people are happy when microsoft saves their data because they think then I can use edge right away.... I hope that there will be Firefox even longer you will see what the other browsers do
Awesome video, looking forward to the subseries.
Great vid, Id be interested in watching that subseries
this was very helpful !! thank you. do you have a video on doing the exact step process but with videos?
Pleasure! Please see Grave Bandit’s comment.

thank you !! great content 👍🏽
Thanks for the push Marie!
Hello bro i have a probleme while tryine to delet the function color type RGB i want to remove it completely but it wont
I will try ur tick to see thanks
Can I do the same thing for the contents of a folder, disk, partition or computer? What about an entire network or even wider reach?
I confirm you can do the following for folders "exiftool -all= -overwrite_original -r /path/to/folder". This will override originals so be careful.

Linux tutorials sound interesting, is the EXIF metadata stored in videos/audio recordings as well?

Can you give some advice on how to remove this from videos on Mac?
Hey Sophia, have you tried using the same approach? It appears to work for iPhone videos.
@@sunknudsen I haven’t. Thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reply. I binge watched your videos over the holidays and have a lot of work ahead of me !
Why does it keep saying no such file or directory

Great video, but chaptering would be nice.
doesn't work anymore on bigsur
When I upload my RAWS into LR, it says there is no exif info. How can I change this? Id like to see the exif info to check my settings once in LR!

canadian
jesus fucking christ, wanna be a millionaire? make an app that i load a photo to that deletes my fucking meta data
Trumps campaign could have benefited from watching this video. (LMAO)
haha... true
Not to advanced. Please go more advanced. Its abort widening the Horizonte for people lacking the knowledge and sharpening for the more advance
Mobile spelling...
Can you show how to delete metadata in videos too?
