Holy shit.
This guy takes a couple of minutes of audio from a security camera anywhere in the US, with no clues from the video whatsoever, and finds the exact spot where it was recorded.
How?
By correlating the Doppler curve sounds from two almost inaudible planes passing by with public ADS-B flight data.

I think this is the #OSINT video of the year.

@scy american woukd use anything but the gps system
(impressive work)
@scy the maths behind this is so cool, it's a really good video
@scy Interestingly this wouldn't work in a lot of Ukraine. No flights. Well, not commercial traffic.
@scy but, if you have the audio from two cameras, which are presumably fixed in position, then you have already narrowed the area down quite a lot.
@scy Excellent method if you happen to have misplaced your security camera.
@scy the problem with security on the internet is, you have to consider future attacks on what you uploaded, that don't exist yet.
@scy ah, thats how, thanks! I have this in a private tab but I've not watched it yet.
@scy This same guy also did this with thunder.
@scy I wonder if me living near an international airport with near constant air travel means this is easier to do or harder to do to my audio recordings
I would assume that any municipal microphone (ALPER, ShotSpotter, security camera) could map a city and provide ground truth for anonymous audio.
@scy @drahardja I guess you have to do your shenanigans near airports - or fake an airport by playing random doppler curves… Impressive!
@scy Military forces have been doing this for decades.
@scy Man..., and my high was just hitting that good place too...
@scy
In the UK the police record the hum from the electrical grid and have used it in court to prosecute criminals.
