Technique geolocates anonymous videos by matching background aircraft Doppler curves to public ADS-B flight data
A video highlighted by Bruce Schneier describes a technique that can reveal where an otherwise unidentifiable recording was made. It analyzes the audio for faint passing-aircraft sounds and plots their Doppler curves. The creator, Colsto, matches these curves against a map of flights in the air at the recording time. That map is built from publicly available ADS-B data, which aircraft broadcast (position, velocity, altitude) and flight-tracking services collect. Schneier calls the technique both fascinating and frightening. It is a privacy and OSINT geolocation method, not a vulnerability or an incident. The article reports no exploitation, victims or threat actors. It also does not say how accurate the method is or which videos it works on.
