The resource list:

This update largely inspired by this tweet:

I realized that the current Malaysian OSINT resource list does not have any structure. So, I decided to arrange and add according to the skill chart.

For this update, I am going to explain:

  1. The section added
  2. The subsection added
  3. The resource added within the subsection

The Additions in this update

[Business OSINT]

This section focuses more on resources to search Malaysian based business

  • Business Listing Directory

Reference: https://quadrantbiz.co/blog/what-are-company-registration-numbers-in-malaysia/

Entity code:

01 - local company
02 - foreign company
03 - business
04 - local limited liability partnership (LLP)
05 - foreign LLP
06 - LLP for professional practice

The link:

  • Halal Check

This section to check whether a product is Halal or not

Halal is a product standard where the product is free from non permissible items in Islam such as:

Reference: https://www.wha-halal.org/en/what-is-halal/

Since Malaysia is a muslim country, Halal standard for daily usage is common here

Note: This search is specific for product with Malaysian Halal which looks like this:

This is the official one. Any other logo that deviates from this is fake logo

The link:

  • Bursa Saham Market Watch

In Malaysia, our stock exchange called Bursa Saham. It is similar to Dow Jones and Nasdaq in US.

Note: for this link you need to close any adblock extension on your specific browser (you can’t open it otherwise)

The link:

[Person Tracking]

This section focuses on Malaysian based person database

  • Corruption Offender Database

This database shows the mugshot and incomplete IC number to discourage anyone thinking doing corruption

The link:

  • Mobile Number Lookup

Resource to search Malaysian (+60) mobile numbers

The link:

[Misc]

This part focus on open data tool which cannot fill up any other categories

  • Legislature Search

Search for Malaysian based legislature

The link:

[Geolocation]

This section focus on highlighting any resource that could help to geolocate any Malaysian based location

  • No addition of subsections

The rest of the section, I can’t do em’ because I can’t found local based resource for both

However, I did found the list of tools for the other two sections:

  • Cryptocurrency Tracing
  • Image Analysis

Note: within the Aware Online website given here, there are a lot more resource specific for Europe especially on the company and phone address section. The rest is not geo-specific so it is still useful for you to use them.

That’s all for this update.

If there’s any problem regarding the content, please inform me via Twitter @thisisfinx.

Thank you for reading and have a good day :)
