Open source / Video investigation
Overcast
A video OSINT agent that searches, listens, matches, maps, and remembers across a collection of video.
My contribution
- Built a CLI and agent harness that combines video search, audio fingerprinting, face clustering, and durable case memory.
- Demonstrated the system at DEF CON 34 Demo Labs using a public video corpus.
- Documented the algorithms, evidence trail, and limits of generated reconstructions in an end-to-end walkthrough.
Behind the work
I put every CSI button in a CLI
Building Overcast: the real algorithms behind the hacker-movie tropes, connected to an agent that remembers.
How to grep video
Why transcripts aren't enough, and how structured representations make video searchable by agents.
