ExifLooter
ExifLooter finds geolocation metadata in images from URLs and directories. It integrates with OpenStreetMap to display locations.
Description
ExifLooter is a tool designed to extract geolocation metadata from image files, whether specified individually, from directories, or via piped input. It analyzes EXIF data to locate where images were taken, making it useful for reconnaissance and forensic investigations involving image sources.
Use cases include analyzing images from target websites or social media for physical location intelligence, verifying image authenticity by checking embedded coordinates, and mapping out locations from bulk image collections. The tool supports pipe integration with other scripts for automated workflows.
It also provides options to visualize findings on OpenStreetMap and remove metadata from images, enhancing privacy or preparing clean images for analysis.
How It Works
ExifLooter uses libimage-exiftool-perl to parse EXIF metadata from image files, extracting GPS coordinates and other geolocation tags. It processes single images, entire directories, or piped input streams, displaying coordinates and optionally generating OpenStreetMap links for visualization. The --remove flag strips metadata using exiftool capabilities.
