This method is extremely handy for SOCMINT investigations and can potentially reveal all private groups created by a specific Telegram user.
When Telegram generates an invite link prefix for private groups, it translates the user ID into a 32-bit hexadecimal value and then encodes it using a base64 algorithm. The resulting invite link structure looks like this:
๐ญ.๐ฆ๐/๐ฃ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ญ/๐๐๐ฌ๐64_๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐
Alrightโฆ hereโs how you do it. Say we have the following ๐๐ ๐๐: 1111111111
Using e.g. Cryptii, simply insert the TG ID as input and convert it to a 32-bit hex string.
๐๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ 32-๐๐ข๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฑ ๐ข๐ฌ: 42 3๐ 35 ๐7

Next, with CyberChef, encode the 32-bit hex as base64.

Since private chat invite URLs only consist of 5 characters, we remove the last character, leaving us with Qjo1x.
All private invite links follow this structure:
๐ญ.๐ฆ๐/๐ฃ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ญ/๐๐ฃ๐จ1๐ฑ
Now, you can search for this in your preferred search engine:
"๐ญ.๐ฆ๐/๐ฃ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ญ/๐๐ฃ๐จ1๐ฑ"
