Most of you that are having nightmares on people faking their picture on NL, here is a simple trick for detecting their authenticity

1. Findexif.com

– A free tool where you could upload a photo or provide a reference to it and Findexif will identify EXIF-data (when and with what device a photo was made, image characteristics, sometimes a place, where a photo was made, could also be identified).

2. Foto Forensics

– A web-site that can run error level analysis (ELA), that is to find parts of a picture that were added to it after editing. After processing a photo the program produces the image with edited parts standing out. Besides, the program will also provide EXIF-data of a photo.

3. Google Search by Image

– Reverse image search. You could upload a photo there in order to find its origin source and to examine where else it was published.

4. TinEye – one more tool for reverse image search.

5. JPEGSnoop

– A program that has to be installed (only for Windows). It shows metadata not only of images, but also of such formats as AVI, DNG, PDF, THM. The program could be used for different purposes. For example, it makes possible to detect errors in corrupted file, to find out if an image was edited and so on.

6. Google Maps and Wikimapia

(A crowdsourcing version of GoogleMaps) will help to investigate locations. Panoramio also is a useful site. You can upload there photos with geographical coordinates (the site is integrated with Google maps).

7. Geofeedia

Is a tool for supervising social networks. It aggregates results not by keywords and hashtags but by specified location. This tool processes messages from Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, Instagram and Picasa, sent using GPS, and then it presents them as a collage. The tool is charged, only demo-version is free.
