I think it takes a considerable amount of work to photoshop something written on a sheet of paper that has been crumpled up and flattened back out.
Comment on Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.

If you have experience with the program it’s piss easy
However most people do not have experience.
Serinus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You also have to include the actual person holding something that can be substituted for the paper.

Sort of. You just need the vague correct position of the elbow/shoulder and facing the camera. You can get away with photoshopping different arms and most people wouldn’t notice if you do it correctly.

So you need a guy with such experience on your social engineering team.

It’s mostly about filtering the low-hanging fruit, aka the low effort trolls, repost bots, and random idiots posting revenge porn.

As in most things. I don’t have security cameras to capture video of someone breaking in. I have them so my neighbours house looks like an easier target.

It would be easier to create verification photos with a particular expression this way. “Post a verification photo, frowning, with a blue pen in your teeth” for example, which might well be difficult to photoshop but no harder than anything else to aigen.

there’s a lot of tools to verify if something was photoshopped or not… you don’t need to be an expert to use them

I tried some one day and I didn’t find any that is actually easy for a noob, you have to check resolution, contrast, spatial frequency disruption, and nothing looked easy to detect without proper training.

i wouldn’t just go around telling people that…

Can you share more? Never had to use one.

You can verify the resolution changes across a video or photo. This can be overcome by setting a dpi limit to your lowest resolution item in the picture, but most people go with what looks best instead of a flat level.

I was going to suggest using an artifact overlay to suggest all the images were shot by the same lens on the same camera

Probably not, but it would still reduce the amount considerably.
