The Gamayun product development background

Today marks the launch of the full commercial version of Social Links’ Gamayun: our web-based solution for conducting open-source investigations. Initial development on this product began back in 2019, and now, having successfully concluded the test period for the beta version in May 2021, the fully-fledged commercial iteration is ready to be rolled out.

What was Gamayun developed for?

As a leading developer of products for open-source investigation, we have long felt a desire, and even obligation to create an all-new solution which is suitable not just for OSINT professionals, but also novice users and independent investigators, for whom the use of OSINT technologies and tools needs to be simple, accessible and understandable.

Gamayun has been painstakingly designed to meet these requirements: featuring advanced data extraction technologies which deliver the most dynamic methods for conducting open-source investigations, including investigation in the social media, visualize data on maps and timelines, analyze connections between people and generate instant reports on the work done, which together streamlines social media investigations and OSINT activities.

Additionally, Gamuyun’s web-based format means the user can jump straight to the practical uses of the solution, there is practically no set-up process or irksome installation, no special certificates of professional OSINT skills are necessary: the user can simply access the online platform and begin an investigation from any minimal set of input data such as name, location, username (alias) or email.

Gamayun key features

Gamayun’s central features include the ability to extract specific information from social networks, visualize data and results on maps and timelines, analyze connections between people, and generate instant reports on all completed work, which provides useful investigative documentation, and traceable summaries of the user’s OSINT activities. The whole package is specifically optimized to simplify investigations, run quick analyses, gain relevant reports, and deliver a user experience of maximum convenience and effectiveness.

Target audience

One of the central advantages of Gamayun is a simple and intuitive design that will deliver the maximum convenience and effectiveness to using the bunch of OSINT tools available to industry professionals and OSINT beginners.

The areas of implementation

The Gamayun online platform will have great utility and impact in areas such as human resources, corporate security, law enforcement, media and journalism, insurance, independent private investigations, and other fields which require verification and information extraction from open data. The product’s modern and intuitive web interface not only allows the user to work faster more effectively but also makes the product more universal, as it requires no special certificates or professional OSINT skills, representing a fulfillment of our mission with Gamayun: to make a sphere which is usually considered the exclusive domain of professionals, available for all.

The product pipeline

Using open data from social networks to complete investigations and create reports represents the central functionality of the solution. However, the product is continually being updated and improved, with the addition of new features on which will keep all of our users updated. Coming soon: search by geolocation and visualize data by timeline.

ANALYZE ACTIVITIES BY GEO
The solution also provides the possibility of conducting geo-based analysis, with search results being traced according to the subject's location. The analysis allows users to view results on the map with details on the individual entities.

EXPLORE THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS
Event timelines can also be explored and mapped, as the software can track the subject's activity as it unfolds on the map, encompassing the nature and frequency of occurrences. Additional options provide analysis of the subject's posts and comments, as well as comparison among the activities of different targets.

The future development of Gamayun

Our global trajectories for Gamayun's development over the coming years are: collaboration options for case studies, new data sources such as company data, product inclusion in the SL BOX, and the development of analytical modules including grading systems, risk models, NLP, as well as video and image analysis.

These additions will allow large companies and LEAs not only to conduct investigations on uncovered data, but also to work together on cases, combining digital forensics, collecting physical and digital evidence. Legal expertise could also be centralized, alleviating the pressure on specialized departments, while the progress and closure of cases would be open to collective monitoring via shared access. Furthermore, it will be possible to collate statistics from the level of an individual subject to entire regions and countries, providing a basis for the carrying out of strategic resource planning.
