Comments 

Forward any sites you feel should be added to me at ben.benavides@gmail.com 

This is a living document and at the time of publication all links were active but don’t give up if you get 

the “Page Not Found” message. If a link does not work, try copying the link to the URL window. If it still 

doesn’t work place the cursor at the end of the URL address and backspace to the first slash and hit the 

enter key. If it still does not work keep backspacing to the next slash and press the enter key. Keep doing 

this until you either get a hit or enter the home page. Once in the homepage you should be able to find 

what you are looking for. But we all know the chaotic nature of the WEB and over time some sites will be 

pulled off or no longer function. If this is the case, you have a final recourse - the wayback machine, 

http://www.archive.org/. Copy the entire URL and paste it into the “take me back” box in the homepage. 

This should take you back to the original homepage and from there you can pick up key words to find 

what you are looking for. 

I realize also that we don’t think alike. If you feel some links do not belong in a particular category let 

me know and I will make the adjustments. If you feel a new category should be added please justify it, 

and if you discover links that you think are relevant to the handbook please submit your list and I will 

update. Together we can create a valuable guide that is not only useful to the intelligence analyst but also 

beneficial to all branches of the military, and civilian agencies. The idea is to develop something that any 

branch (infantry, artillery, armor, etc) besides MI can use for their own intelligence gathering. Remember, 

“Every Soldier Is A Sensor”. We could also apply this to the civilian world and say “Every Citizen Is A 

Sensor”. A good example is the individual that spotted the smoking SUV in Times Square and alerted 

police to the situation. Had the contents smoldered long enough it is quite possible the situation could 

have turned into something more serious. 

While I have tried to get you to your objective as quickly as possible, there is still no substitute for 

effective searching techniques. I strongly recommend looking over this very basic WEB searching 

techniques site http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Handouts.html and download 

the tutorial with powerpoint slides and handouts. I also like Russ Haynal’s Internet Training at 

http://navigators.com/opensource.html and I think you will too. Very easy to follow and digest the 

information even while working at your own pace. 

There are two areas one cannot get away from on the WEB, pornography and theological/political 

agendas. I have definitely made sure that none of the links end up with the former, but the latter cannot 

be avoided. 

I have been advised that I probably have published too much information and have made it easier for 

the criminal element. All the information gathered has been through open source harvesting and anyone 

with even the slightest knowledge of good searching techniques will be able to gather the same 

information. For example, the nuclear related portions in this handbook when merged together will 

produce a neat little file. You can gather this same information at the public library or by visiting several 

blogs and merging the results. Scattered throughout this handout you will run across material like 

Unclassified/FOUO, Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES), Restricted, Controlled Unclassified Information, 

and other caveats. Again, this is all open source exploitation. I did not hack into any sites! That’s my story 

and I’m sticking to it. 

Those links that require a .mil or .gov return address are included for those 

authorized access, they will not work for those not authorized access. 

Prior to leaving the service of the U.S. Army, I established that this is my intellectual property and there 

are no applicable constraints on my sharing it with the public.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): What It Is and What It Isn’t 

According to the NATO Open Source Intelligence Handbook, November 2001, there are four 

distinct categories of open source information and intelligence. 

1) Open Source Data (OSD). Data is the raw print, broadcast, oral debriefing, or other form of 

information from a primary source. It can be a photograph, a tape recording, a commercial satellite image, 

or a personal letter from an individual. A god example is a reporter embedded with forces in Afghanistan 

or Iraq. He/she is taking pictures, talking to soldiers, recording conversations and firefights, and taking 

notes with a pen or pencil. This is considered raw data until it goes through a conversion process to 

create a coherent product. 

2) Open Source Information (OSI). OSI is comprised of the raw data that can be put together, 

generally by an editorial process that provides some filtering and validation as well as presentation 

management. OSI is generic information that is usually widely disseminated. Newspapers, books, 

broadcasts, and general daily reports are part of the OSI world. An example is a reporter embedded with 

forces who takes the raw data and converts it into a meaningful article that is printed in newspapers, 

magazines or broadcasted over the air waves. OSI is what a Soldier would purchase at the bookstore 

inside the Post Exchange in the form of USA Today or Newsweek. 

3) Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). OSINT is information that has been deliberately 

discovered, discriminated, distilled, and disseminated to a select audience, generally the commander and 

his/her immediate staff, in order to address a specific question. In the case of a battlefield commander, it 

would more than likely be answering the priority intelligence requirements (PIR) or specific orders or 

requests (SOR). OSINT, in other words, applies the proven process of intelligence to the broad diversity 

of open sources of information, and creates intelligence. Example: The meaningful article above (OSI) 

that was created from raw data is used to support an operation. It’s quite possible that a photo 

accompanying the article may be of a house known to harbor insurgents. The photo in the article 

identifies the location and now can be used to support a tailored operation to attack the insurgents. 

4) Validated OSINT (OSINT-V). OSINT-V is information to which a very high degree of certainty 

can be attributed. It can only be produced by an all-source intelligence professional, with access to 

classified intelligence sources, whether working for a nation or for a coalition staff. It can also come from 

an assured open source to which no question can be raised concerning its validity (live video of an 

aircraft arriving at an airport that is broadcast over the media). OSINT-V is OSINT for which there are 

either confirming or unavailable classified sources or there are no available classified sources disputing 

OSINT. OSINT-V is produced only when the analyst has access to classified sources. 

Example: CNN reporter takes photos and reports on a bridge. Intelligence personnel are aware 

the bridge is vital for the movement of insurgent supplies; however, CNN is unaware of that. Classified 

information confirms that such a bridge exists. This in effect validates the reporting as OSINT-V, 

especially if the bridge is identified to be destroyed to keep insurgents from moving supplies. But, if there 

isn’t anything in the classified holdings to deny the existence of the bridge, it is still considered OSINT-V 

since this is the first time the bridge has been observed and reported, and there are other sources like 

other reporters to backup the findings. 

People in the intelligence business are realists and know that everything cannot be monitored 

simultaneously; construction of new infrastructure is continuously taking place around the world. We 

cannot keep track of all new buildings, bridges, roads or airfields being built. This is what makes open 

source reporting extremely valuable. It covers the areas the classical “INTS” are not assigned to cover. 

The only time OSINT-V can be disputed is when there is confirming evidence to deny the information. 

Summary: How do I know when I have OSINT? The simple answer is the analyst does not have 

OSINT until the open source information has been processed and analyzed, and supports a specific 

requirement. The specific requirement can be a tailored operation or simply answering a question. The 

7


analyst has to be very careful when it comes to distinguishing between OSI and OSINT. Open source 

information exploitation is exactly what the name implies, that which is gathered/collected from open 

sources. In general, it is information that is available to the general public without restrictions unless it is 

copyrighted material. These include newspapers, the internet, books, phone books, scientific journals, 

radio broadcasts, television, individuals, and other forms. On the other hand, OSINT is an intelligence 

gathering discipline that involves collecting information from open sources and analyzing it to produce 

usable intelligence, and there isn’t anything that says intelligence must be classified in order for it to have 

utility. In the Intelligence Community, the term "open" refers to overt, publicly available sources (as 

opposed to covert or classified sources); it is not related to open-source software. OSINT is distinguished 

from straight research in that it applies the process of intelligence to create tailored knowledge supportive 

of a specific decision by a specific individual or group. 

How To Use Open Source Intelligence 

By eHow Culture & Society Editor http://www.ehow.com/how_2126848_use-open-sourceintelligence.html 

Open source intelligence is a process of information gathering from public and overt sources, 

such as newspapers and military trade journals, that produces "actionable intelligence." Far from being 

the hobby of amateurs, open source intelligence is used by official military and government intelligence 

agencies on a regular basis. 

1. Gather sources. The number of possible open source intelligence outlets is limitless. Some 

basic ones are newspapers, which report on things like troop and fleet movement, and even civilians who 

visit other countries and can make relevant observations upon return. Strategy and defense information 

websites, such as Jane's Group, also provide high quality information for you to harvest. 

2. Pick a region or topic. Monitoring all varieties of open source intelligence across regional and 

topical interests takes huge amounts of manpower. To effectively use open source intelligence you 

should focus on one region or issue at a time. This will help you to stay on top of the latest information 

and will allow you to develop a background understanding of intelligence items. 

3. Connect the dots. Once you have gathered your sources you need to monitor news and 

information in order to connect the dots. Look, for example, at how heads of state visits coincide with 

arms sales. Then consider troop and fleet movement against rising tensions in various regions. Use 

widely available technology such as Google Earth, Bing Maps 3D, and others to get views of important 

locations. Take all this kind of information and try to deduce the most likely intelligence information from it. 

4. Test your theories. One of the best ways to test a theory that you've constructed on the basis 

of open source intelligence is to publish the theory. You can post theories on strategy discussion forums 

or you can send your piece to influential military bloggers or even newspapers. Check the responses from 

other members of the open source intelligence community to see what the criticisms might be.

Dual Classification of Open Source Information 

1 August 2011 (Source: http://cryptome.org/0005/double-secret.htm ) 

The US Director of National Intelligence has stated 

(http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Analysis_Classifying_open_source_intel_999.html ) that increasingly 

heavy use by spies of open source information requires classifying the information to cloak its use. This is 

exemplified by Anthony Shaffer, a former military spy, in an interview with Government Security News in 

September 2005 describing the early days of classifying open source information acquired from the 

Internet. Shaffer made a distinction between the use of open information for intelligence purposes, which 

had legal restrictions, and use of the information for military operations which did not have those 

restrictions. This may account for the reliance upon military intelligence to gather domestic information 

forbidden to spies, that is to classify such information as military in addition to its secrecy classification. 

(The interview has been withdrawn from GSN but is available on Archive.org) 

http://web.archive.org/web/20070205134153/http://www.gsnmagazine.com/sep_05/shaffer_interview.html 

[Excerpts] 

SHAFFER: 

When the information from LIWA arrived at Tampa, Scott Philpott and his team started looking at it 

critically, trying to figure out what this really meant; based on other classified databases and lawyer 

review. The lawyers started looking at the data as well for any legal issues regarding the fact that this 

information came from “open sources”. 

GSN: 

Even before anyone at Able Danger made the decision to try to share its findings with other agencies or 

departments? 

SHAFFER: 

Absolutely. 

GSN: 

Even while the data is still being gathered and analyzed? 

SHAFFER: 

Absolutely, because there were so many critical issues regarding this, simply because it dealt with open 

sources. When an intelligence officer, like me, looks at the data, does that somehow magically turn it into 

“intelligence”? That was the critical issue. Somehow, there is this interpretation that even open source 

information could be construed as intelligence information because of its use. If Tony Shaffer, intelligence 

officer, takes data off the Internet and I use it for a project does that make it “intelligence” and subject it to 

all of the rules that govern the oversight of intelligence information? 

GSN: 

Which legal organization within SOCOM is raising these questions? 

SHAFFER: 

We’re talking about the lawyers. All lawyers in DoD report back to the DoD General Counsel. There’s no 

exception to that. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the lawyer sits in SOCOM or Defense Intelligence, they all 

report back to the General Counsel. 

GSN: 

How big is the group of lawyers sitting in SOCOM? 

SHAFFER: 

I don’t know the exact size of the shop. I suspect it is probably between eight to a dozen folks, for the 

headquarters itself. 

9


GSN: 

Do you remember how the battle over this issue began? 

SHAFFER: 

Oh, I do, because from Day One, they were worried about, “Where are you getting this data from? What’s 

the source of the data? This is open source. How can it be this detailed?” 

There were a lot of interrogatives the lawyers were asking regarding the sourcing of the information. I had 

no problem ever with oversight and answering the hard questions. The concern was, again, this was open 

source, but are we somehow violating some U.S. person’s rights by the fact we’re bringing in [the 

information] and using it for intelligence purposes? 

GSN: 

Was it one of the staff lawyers or was it the head of SOCOM’s legal department that was the principal 

mover and shaker of this? 

SHAFFER: 

I don’t know that answer, but the lawyer assigned to Able Danger was the person who explained this to 

us. 

GSN: 

Was the resistance that you were getting to the methodology -- we haven’t even gotten to the conclusions 

yet -- driven largely by this individual lawyer or by his organization? 

SHAFFER: 

By the organization. I’m confident because I started getting problems with this issue back in my 

headquarters in D.C., through the DIA lawyers. I know they were talking to each other and it became a 

big issue that all the lawyers in DoD were talking about. One of the investigators currently looking into 

this, when I talked to him this last week, confirmed to having the same problems even now. What open 

source collection really means, and what level of oversight is appropriate to protect U.S. persons’ rights, 

even when intelligence officers look at stuff off the open Internet. The debate remains now. 

GSN: 

Did this issue get to the DoD general counsel? 

SHAFFER: 

Yes it did. I know for a fact that it did because I talked to the general counsel lawyer who was the 

oversight for this issue. I know for a fact that is was being looked at by the DoD general counsel. 

GSN: 

Did the General Counsel’s organization know about this matter? 

SHAFFER: 

Based on direct knowledge, I know they were looking at -- and dealing with -- all these issues because a 

subsequent operation, the nickname of the operation was Dorhawk Galley, which happened in the spring 

of 2001, before 9/11, I had to talk to the general counsel about the same set of issues, because this had 

to do with the Internet and U.S. persons and open source information. I personally briefed George Tenet 

on this and I briefed the National Security Council twice. 

GSN: 

On the issue of open sourcing? 

SHAFFER: 

On the legal set of issues regarding Dorhawk Galley, which were compatible to the issues we were facing 

for Able Danger. 

GSN: 

10


Can you summarize the legal argument barring the use of open source information against U.S. citizens 

or quasi-citizens? 

SHAFFER: 

There are two concerns. First, the government has to be careful about what information it puts on the 

open Internet because, obviously, if they put something out there, U.S. people can see it. Therefore, it 

has to be above board. 

Second issue, comparing that information to anything else out there regarding open source information. If 

you put information out [on the Internet], you have the reasonable belief, that it’s not going to be 

protected. That’s my judgment. If you put something on the Internet, such as a blog statement, it isn’t 

protected, it’s open. Does the government have the right to look at that and the use it against you if they 

so choose? That is one of the fundamental issues. Because although it’s not protected, and it’s out there, 

does the government have the right to do something with it? 

What can you look at and not look at regarding U.S. citizens? That was one of the issues we were dealing 

with regarding these open Internet searches, which the lawyers were concerned about. 

GSN: 

What kind of records would be referred to as on the open Internet? 

SHAFFER: 

For example, corporate records. Say a company talks about its business activities overseas and lists 

them. If I take that information, as an intelligence officer, and say “Gee, I may want to look at this for 

some intelligence operation down the road.” I take it, print it off and put it in a file. Any file I keep as an 

intelligence officer is subject to oversight. 

GSN: 

Say, for example, hoovers.com, which presents all kinds of corporate financial information, lists every 

overseas office of every U.S. publicly-traded company. Now, you look at this and say “Hey, there are 37 

companies that have an office in Lagos, Nigeria.” 

SHAFFER: 

Right. You’re spot on. 

GSN: 

You’re saying that someone on the legal side of the intelligence community might have said, “We don’t 

even have the right to do that. You can’t gather that information off the Internet, which is publicly out 

there, and use it in an intelligence manner.” 

SHAFFER: 

You hit the nub of it, absolutely. That’s what they were concerned about. 

GSN: 

What was the Able Danger program’s response to that legal argument? 

SHAFFER: 

Well, we aren’t doing intelligence collection operations, we’re doing operational planning. Therefore, 

whatever we’re doing should not fall under intelligence guidelines. 

GSN: 

That was sort of a stretch, wasn’t it? Here you have this ultra-secret and important intelligence mission 

which you claim is happening under operational planning, but wasn’t that somewhat bogus? 

SHAFFER: 

No, it wasn’t bogus. It was the operational focus. The idea was that we were trying to use this information 

for purposes not of intelligence collection. Obviously, we wanted to do it to confirm or vet information, but 

I wasn’t using this to plan to go after some U.S. citizen. That was not the purpose.

The purpose was to look at linkages. That’s what we were doing. So, any given byte of information 

probably wouldn’t even have been looked at [individually] because it didn’t fit the criteria of our search. 

There was [vast amounts] of information. Out of all that, we’re only going to look for things that are 

relevant to the target, Al Qaeda. 

If I take information off the Internet and put it into a file, I’m doing that electronically, with the database. 

That was the issue. You’re doing it electronically. The argument was, “When you take all this information 

off the Internet, how do you then protect U.S. citizen rights?” The lawyers were looking at all the 

information that was coming in. They had to vet everything. They were personally looking at it and had a 

validation process. 

GSN: 

What would they have pointed to and said, “This is a violation. We can’t allow you to do this”? 

SHAFFER: 

That’s where the whole issue comes in of lawyers saying, “You can’t look at these guys, who are 

suspected as being terrorists.” All this information is coming in. They had this vetting process. And then, 

all this information comes to us regarding these [suspected terrorists] who were here legally, as part of 

these data runs. But, the lawyers are now saying, “You can’t look at that. We’re going to put that in the 

‘U.S person’ category that you can’t look at.” 

There is a vetting process. They’re trying to protect U.S citizens’ rights. I briefed the general counsel on 

this. I briefed George Tenet on this. The problem was, where do you draw that line regarding protection of 

U.S. persons -- between U.S. citizens, such as yourself, and these other folks who are here legally, but 

not technically deserving of the same protections? That’s the kernel of the issue.

2011-09-11 

By The Associated Press 

Some questions and answers about the gathering and use of intelligence: 

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence in the struggle against terrorism comes in many forms, 

maddeningly general, improbably precise, a game of sorts with vast consequences for winner and loser. 

It's a satellite image showing tribesmen gathering in a remote area where none should be — the 

photograph so clear you can see the caliber of ammunition they are carrying. 

It's a snatched bit of conversation between two terrorist leaders, overheard by a trusted source the 

terrorists don't realize is listening. 

It's a stolen diplomatic cable. That's right, we steal. 

Each of these sources and a multitude of others can become the tips that put an entire nation on alert, as 

a single tip has done from a single source just before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. 

Here are some questions and answers about the gathering and use of intelligence: 

Q: What is intel? 

A: Simply put, it is information from anywhere that the U.S. can use to its advantage in the world, either in 

pursuit of its goals or to protect its people. It can be as basic as a diplomat reading a local newspaper and 

passing on something interesting to a superior in an embassy or Washington. But it gets much more 

sophisticated and aggressive than that. 

In counterterrorism, bits and pieces of information form a messy picture like an impressionist painting. 

Those collecting the signs and signals look for a pattern, eventually an image, that gives them a target to 

go after or tells them which target to protect. 

___ 

Q: What are the main forms of intel? 

A: Perhaps the spookiest is measurement intelligence, known as "masint," using far-away technology to 

get extremely up close and personal. The U.S. is capable of placing a sensor near a suspected terrorist 

hideout that can count the number of heartbeats in a room and gauge how fast they're beating. There are 

even efforts to understand what a "guilty" heartbeat pattern might be. 

Masint, working in combination with other kinds of intelligence-gathering, was one of the clinchers in the 

raid that killed Osama bin Laden. The U.S. measured the approximate height of the tall man who paced 

beneath the trellis outside the kitchen in a Pakistani compound, to help determine bin Laden was that 

man. 

13


Then there is human intelligence, or "humint," which has been around since the dawn of spycraft and is 

still vital. That's the tipster you cultivate and pay, or perhaps the unproven one who simply walks into a 

U.S. embassy and offers information. 

"Sigint," or signals intelligence, monitors or otherwise exploits radio, telephone or satellite phone 

transmissions. "Imint" is imagery intelligence that includes photographs showing the outlines of a nuclear 

power plant, obscured in desert sands, or a terrorist training base tucked in a mountainside. 

Cybertracking is a newer tool, pursuing terrorists who use computers either to attack a computer network 

or, more often, to organize how their own human network would launch a physical attack. 

___ 

Q: What happens to this mountain of raw material? 

A: Each of those streams of data is captured by a multibillion-dollar worldwide network of U.S. satellites, 

armed drones, static blimps and high-flying spy aircraft, manned or unmanned, that suck up so much 

sound it takes massive computers to crunch all the data and help analysts overwhelmed by the technical 

information to find meaningful clues. 

Sometimes these streams are collected by U.S. operatives — Americans or those in U.S. employ — who 

go behind enemy lines or into enemy homes, leaving behind the sensors that will provide the data. 

True to its name, the Central Intelligence Agency is an "all-source" organization using all means. 

___ 

Q: How do all these eyes and ears work together? 

A: Sometimes they don't. After a Nigerian allegedly tried to bring down a Detroit-bound airliner on 

Christmas Day almost two years ago, it emerged that his father had warned U.S. diplomats about his 

son's possible terrorist sympathies, but that tip was lost in the blizzard of counterintelligence. 

But in the bin Laden raid, a human source led to the compound in the Pakistani army town of Abbottabad. 

Signals intelligence monitored for phone calls emanating from there, and found none, because bin Laden 

forbade them, hoping to evade detection by just such technical means. Masint was derived from the 

imagery taken by drones and satellites. 

All of this helped to convince CIA analysts they had found their man and persuade President Barack 

Obama to approve a dangerous and diplomatically risky raid into Pakistani sovereign territory. 

___ 

Q: How is all of this intel sorted through so that the real threats are detected and averted? 

A: The ever-present risk is that they won't be. One of the failings of pre-9/11 counterintelligence was that 

information was jealously guarded by the individual intelligence agencies. Word of a potential plot to fly 

planes into U.S. landmarks was received by one agency. Another agency had word terrorists might be 

attending flight school. Each organization kept to itself the dots of information that, when connected, could 

have revealed the larger pattern of a massive terrorist plot. 

Before raw data and human tips can be called "intelligence," they must be analyzed, and if possible, 

corroborated. The CIA alone has 2,500 people in its Directorate of Intelligence devoted to that task. There 

are thousands more across the 16 intelligence agencies, sifting raw data, and cross-comparing within 

their own agencies, and with others, to spot a pattern. 

14

___ 


Q: What does it mean to receive — and warn the public about — a credible and specific but unconfirmed 

threat, as in the latest case? 

A: A credible threat means it was heard from a trusted source, not just anyone. Specific means the U.S. 

has details about when, where or how an attack might unfold. When a threat is specific and credible but 

unconfirmed, that means intelligence officials haven't been able to validate the information even though 

they trust the source who gave it to them. 

This particular threat is not unusual, but it's being taken so seriously because it comes days before the 

10th anniversary of 9/11, a date al-Qaida has eyed for attack. 

___ 

Q: How is the intel being analyzed in the latest threat? 

A: Right now, teams of analysts are combing through information gleaned from one trusted source, who 

heard that a small group of attackers, perhaps from Pakistan, might blow up a car bomb in New York or 

Washington. One or all of the attackers might be from Pakistan. Newly minted al-Qaida leader Ayman al- 

Zawahri might be behind it. 

These analysts are looking for anything to corroborate that report in the reams of information they've 

gathered tracking travelers to the U.S. from Pakistan. U.S. spies overseas will be going back to their 

sources to see if anyone has heard the same rumor. 

Everything unfolds in a hurry. 

"You don't have the luxury of vetting the source and then disseminating the information," said Phillip 

Mudd, a former top counterterrorist official at the CIA and the FBI. "You have to tell everyone what you 

heard and then try to prove the information is legitimate. 

He said he would be directing analysts to pore over everything that can be gleaned from flight and 

passport logs of potential foreign suspects who have traveled to the U.S. 

"Figuring out who would-be attackers are, or even whether they exist, could take months, where the 

drumbeat of national security wants answers in minutes or days," Mudd said. 

___ 

Q: What rules do U.S. intelligence-gatherers have to play by? 

A: Looser rules than for most people. 

The CIA operates under the U.S. law known as Title 50 — literally a license to break laws in foreign 

countries, by committing espionage, persuading a local official to commit treason, or in extreme 

circumstances, to go into a foreign country and target an al-Qaida suspect for killing or capture. Title 50 

operations are covert, meaning the U.S. never intends to acknowledge them. Other intelligence agencies, 

such as the eavesdropping National Security Agency and the new Cyber Command, routinely operate 

under Title 50 as well. 

___ 

Q: Ultimately, doesn't it all come down to getting lucky — or unlucky? 

A: It can feel that way. There is a favorite expression among intelligence officials, memorably if 

15


confusingly uttered by former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, that captures the essence of their 

work: 

"As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are 

known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also 

unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."

Tactical and Strategic Intelligence 

Tactical Intelligence - Intelligence that is required for the planning and conduct of tactical 

operations. This is in line with military operations being conducted on the battlefield, generally in direct 

contact with the enemy, the commander’s timeframe is very much compressed, and he is dealing with 

towns, villages, or local tribes. The commander is troubled that an insurgent force may be just over the 

next hill or hiding in a building waiting to ambush his forces. He is operating in the here-and-now-in-yourface 

cultural environment. There is no room for error! 

Strategic Intelligence - Intelligence that is required for forming policy and military plans at national 

and international levels. This is in line with more of an expanded timeframe and takes into consideration 

entire countries. The intelligence analysis may run months or years into the future. During this period, 

errors, which are not acceptable but do still occur, are not as critical as they are at the tactical level where 

life and death are daily concerns. Errors at this level can be corrected with the luxury of more room for 

maneuver. 

Components of Strategic Intelligence 

The same analytical process that takes place at the strategic level can be applied at the tactical 

level. The tactical commander is faced with the same issues albeit at a smaller scale. Policy makers at 

national level worry about Iranian and North Korean WMDs but the ground commander also worries 

about insurgent WTDs (weapons of troop destruction) that include but are not limited to RPGs, AKs, IEDs, 

suicide bombers, etc. Strategic intelligence and tactical intelligence differ primarily in level of application 

but may also vary in terms and scope of detail. 

Information gathered as strategic intelligence may be categorized into eight components. An easy 

way to remember these components is through the use of the acronym BEST MAPS: 

Components of Strategic Intelligence 

� Biographic 

� Economic 

� Sociologic 

� Transportation And Communications 

� Military Geography 

� Armed Forces 

� Political 

� Scientific And Technical 

Each of these components can further be divided into a number of subcomponents. These 

components and subcomponents are not all-encompassing nor mutually exclusive. This approach is 

merely a means to enhance familiarization with the types of information included in strategic intelligence. 

Biographic Intelligence: 

The study of individuals of actual or potential importance, their background and personalities. 

� Educational And Occupational History 

� Individual Accomplishments 

� Idiosyncrasies And Habits 

� Position, Influence, And Potential 

� Attitudes And Hobbies 

Economic Intelligence: 

The science of production, distribution, and use of wealth-- the material means of satisfying 

human desires. economic intelligence is intelligence which deals with the extent and utilization of the 

natural and human resources and the economic potential of nations. 

17


� Economic Warfare 

� Economic Vulnerability 

� Manufacturing 

� Sources Of Economic Capability 

Sociological Intelligence: 

The study of society, as well as the groups within society, their composition, organization, 

purposes and habits, and the role of the individual in relation to social institutions. 

� Population, Manpower And Labor 

� Cultural, Physical Characteristics Of People 

� Public Opinion 

� Education 

� Religion 

� Public Health And Welfare 

Transportation and Telecommunications Intelligence: 

Transportation Intelligence: 

Concerned with the operation and facilities of transportation systems in foreign countries. 

Telecommunications Intelligence: 

Concerned with the operation and facilities of civil and fixed military communications systems in 

foreign countries. 

Transportation Telecommunications 

- Railways - Radio 

- Highways - Television 

- Inland Waterways - Telephone 

- Petroleum Pipelines - Telegraph 

- Ports - Submarine Cable 

- Merchant Marine - Related Comms 

- Aviation - Media 

Military Geography: 

Geography is the science of the description of the land, sea and air, and the distribution of plant 

and animal life, including man and his industries. 

Military geographical intelligence is the military evaluation of all geographical factors which may in 

any way influence military operations. 

� Description 

� Natural Features 

� Manmade Features 

� Sub-Component Name 

� Physical Geography 

� Human And Cultural Geography 

Armed Forces Intelligence: 

Is the integrated study of the organized land, sea, and air forces, both actual and potential, of 

foreign nations. 

Strategy: Strategic military problems of the nation in light of position, terrain, economic, political, and other 

factors. 

18


Tactics: Employment of weapons, employment and operations of the various arms and services, special 

operations training. 

Category: Order of battle - equipment - logistics - organization/administration - military manpower 

Political Intelligence: 

Political intelligence is intelligence concerning foreign and domestic policies of governments and 

the activities of political movements. 

� Basic Principles Of Government/National Policies 

� Government Structure 

� Foreign Policy 

� Political Organizations And Parties 

� Pressure Groups 

� Electoral Procedures 

� Public Order And Safety 

� Subversion

Scientific And Technical Intelligence: 

Is the study and evaluation of a foreign countries scientific and technical capability and potential 

to supports its objective through the development of new weapons and new equipment. 

� New Weapons And Equipment 

� Missiles And Space

Overt Collection Responsibilities: 

� Dept. Of State: Political, Sociological, Economic, Scientific And Technical. 

� Dept. Of Defense: Military intelligence information (also scientific/technical and economic pertinent to 

DoD missions. 

� CIA: Exploitation of domestic sources of foreign intelligence; monitoring of foreign radio broadcasts 

19


THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 

MISSION AND AUTHORITIES OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (DNI) 

The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) serves as the head of the Intelligence Community (IC), 

overseeing and directing the implementation of the National Intelligence Program (NIP) and acting as the 

principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council for 

intelligence matters. Working together with the Principal Deputy DNI (PDDNI) and with the assistance of 

Mission Managers and four Deputy Directors, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s goal is to 

protect and defend American lives and interests through effective intelligence. 

20


THE INTELLIGENCE CYCLE 

Equally important to the components of strategic intelligence is an awareness of the strategic 

intelligence cycle and the debriefer's role within that cycle. The first step is the identification of intelligence 

gaps. Analysts translate these gaps into intelligence requirements - the second step. In the third step, the 

strategic debriefer fulfills those requirements. The fourth step involves preparation of an intelligence 

report. The fifth and last step is the preparation of an intelligence report evaluation by the originator of the 

requirement. These evaluations measure the quality of the information as well as the quality of the report 

writing. 

The Intelligence Cycle is the process of developing raw information into finished intelligence for 

policymakers to use in decisionmaking and action. There are five steps which constitute the Intelligence 

Cycle. 

1. Planning and Direction 

... is management of the entire effort, from identifying the need for data to delivering an intelligence 

product to a consumer. It is the beginning and the end of the cycle—the beginning because it involves 

drawing up specific collection requirements and the end because finished intelligence, which supports 

policy decisions, generates new requirements. 

The whole process depends on guidance from public officials. Policymakers—the President, his aides, 

the National Security Council, and other major departments and agencies of government—initiate 

requests for intelligence. 

2. Collection 

... is the gathering of the raw information needed to produce finished intelligence. There are many 

sources of information, including open sources such as foreign broadcasts, newspapers, periodicals, and 

books. Open source reporting is integral to CIA's analytical capabilities. There are also secret sources of 

information. CIA operations officers collect such information from agents abroad and from defectors who 

provide information obtainable in no other way. 

Finally, technical collection—electronics and satellite photography—plays an indispensable role in 

modern intelligence, such as monitoring arms control agreements and providing direct support to military 

forces. 

3. Processing 

... involves converting the vast amount of information collected to a form usable by analysts. This is done 

through a variety of methods including decryption, language translations, and data reduction. 

4. All-Source Analysis and Production 

... is the conversion of basic information into finished intelligence. It includes integrating, evaluating, and 

analyzing all available data—which is often fragmented and even contradictory—and preparing 

intelligence products. Analysts, who are subject-matter specialists, consider the information's reliability, 

validity, and relevance. They integrate data into a coherent whole, put the evaluated information in 

context, and produce finished intelligence that includes assessments of events and judgments about the 

implications of the information for the United States. 

The CIA devotes the bulk of its resources to providing strategic intelligence to policymakers. It performs 

this important function by monitoring events, warning decisionmakers about threats to the United States, 

and forecasting developments. The subjects involved may concern different regions, problems, or 

personalities in various contexts—political, geographic, economic, military, scientific, or biographic. 

Current events, capabilities, and future trends are examined. 

The CIA produces numerous written reports, which may be brief—one page or less—or lengthy studies. 

They may involve current intelligence, which is of immediate importance, or long-range assessments. The 

Agency presents some finished intelligence in oral briefings. The CIA also participates in the drafting and 

production of National Intelligence Estimates, which reflect the collective judgments of the Intelligence 

Community. 

5. Dissemination 

21


The last step, which logically feeds into the first, is the distribution of the finished intelligence to the 

consumers, the same policymakers whose needs initiated the intelligence requirements. Finished 

intelligence is provided daily to the President and key national security advisers. The policymakers, the 

recipients of finished intelligence, then make decisions based on the information, and these decisions 

may lead to the levying of more requirements, thus triggering the Intelligence Cycle.

Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes... What Are They? 

These terms are usually used in the world of computing to describe disk space, or data storage space, 

and system memory. For instance, just a few years ago we were describing hard drive space using the 

term Megabytes. Today, Gigabytes is the most common term being used to describe the size of a hard 

drive. In the not so distant future, Terabyte will be a common term. But what are they? This is where it 

gets quite confusing because there are at least three accepted definitions of each term. 

According to the IBM Dictionary of computing, when used to describe disk storage capacity, a megabyte 

is 1,000,000 bytes in decimal notation. But when the term megabyte is used for real and virtual storage, 

and channel volume, 2 to the 20th power or 1,048,576 bytes is the appropriate notation. According to the 

Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary, a megabyte means either 1,000,000 bytes or 1,048,576 bytes. 

According to Eric S. Raymond in The New Hacker's Dictionary, a megabyte is always 1,048,576 bytes on 

the argument that bytes should naturally be computed in powers of two. So which definition do most 

people conform to? 

When referring to a megabyte for disk storage, the hard drive manufacturers use the standard that a 

megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. This means that when you buy an 80 Gigabyte Hard drive you will get a 

total of 80,000,000,000 bytes of available storage. This is where it gets confusing because Windows uses 

the 1,048,576 byte rule so when you look at the Windows drive properties an 80 Gigabyte drive will report 

a capacity of 74.56 Gigabytes and a 250 Gigabyte drive will only yield 232 Gigabytes of available storage 

space. Anybody confused yet? With three accepted definitions, there will always be some confusion so I 

will try to simplify the definitions a little. 

The 1000 can be replaced with 1024 and still be correct using the other acceptable standards. Both of 

these standards are correct depending on what type of storage you are referring.

Now let's go into a little more detail. 

Bit: A Bit is the smallest unit of data that a computer uses. It can be used to represent two states of 

information, such as Yes or No. 

Byte: A Byte is equal to 8 Bits. A Byte can represent 256 states of information, for example, numbers or a 

combination of numbers and letters. 1 Byte could be equal to one character. 10 Bytes could be equal to a 

word. 100 Bytes would equal an average sentence. 

Kilobyte: A Kilobyte is approximately 1,000 Bytes, actually 1,024 Bytes depending on which definition is 

used. 1 Kilobyte would be equal to this paragraph you are reading, whereas 100 Kilobytes would equal an 

entire page. 

Megabyte: A Megabyte is approximately 1,000 Kilobytes. In the early days of computing, a Megabyte 

was considered to be a large amount of data. These days with a 500 Gigabyte hard drive on a computer 

being common, a Megabyte doesn't seem like much anymore. One of those old 3-1/2 inch floppy disks 

can hold 1.44 Megabytes or the equivalent of a small book. 100 Megabytes might hold a couple volumes 

of Encyclopedias. 600 Megabytes is about the amount of data that will fit on a CD-ROM disk. 

Gigabyte: A Gigabyte is approximately 1,000 Megabytes. A Gigabyte is still a very common term used 

these days when referring to disk space or drive storage. 1 Gigabyte of data is almost twice the amount of 

data that a CD-ROM can hold. But it's about one thousand times the capacity of a 3-1/2 floppy disk. 1 

Gigabyte could hold the contents of about 10 yards of books on a shelf. 100 Gigabytes could hold the 

entire library floor of academic journals. 

Terabyte: A Terabyte is approximately one trillion bytes, or 1,000 Gigabytes. There was a time that I 

never thought I would see a 1 Terabyte hard drive, now one and two terabyte drives are the normal specs 

for many new computers. To put it in some perspective, a Terabyte could hold about 3.6 million 300 

Kilobyte images or maybe about 300 hours of good quality video. A Terabyte could hold 1,000 copies of 

the Encyclopedia Britannica. Ten Terabytes could hold the printed collection of the Library of Congress. 

That's a lot of data. 

Petabyte: A Petabyte is approximately 1,000 Terabytes or one million Gigabytes. It's hard to visualize 

what a Petabyte could hold. 1 Petabyte could hold approximately 20 million 4-door filing cabinets full of 

text. It could hold 500 billion pages of standard printed text. It would take about 500 million floppy disks to 

store the same amount of data. 

25


Exabyte: An Exabyte is approximately 1,000 Petabytes. Another way to look at it is that an Exabyte is 

approximately one quintillion bytes or one billion Gigabytes. There is not much to compare an Exabyte to. 

It has been said that 5 Exabytes would be equal to all of the words ever spoken by mankind. 

Zettabyte: A Zettabyte is approximately 1,000 Exabytes. There is nothing to compare a Zettabyte to but 

to say that it would take a whole lot of ones and zeroes to fill it up. 

Yottabyte: A Yottabyte is approximately 1,000 Zettabytes. It would take approximately 11 trillion years to 

download a Yottabyte file from the Internet using high-power broadband. You can compare it to the World 

Wide Web as the entire Internet almost takes up about a Yottabyte. 

Brontobyte: A Brontobyte is (you guessed it) approximately 1,000 Yottabytes. The only thing there is to 

say about a Brontobyte is that it is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes! 

Geopbyte: A Geopbyte is about 1000 Brontobytes! Not sure why this term was created. I'm doubting that 

anyone alive today will ever see a Geopbyte hard drive. One way of looking at a geopbyte is 15267 

6504600 2283229 4012496 7031205 376 bytes! 

Now you should have a good understanding of megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes and everything in 

between. Now if we can just figure out what a WhatsAByte is......:) 

DATA IS ABUNDANT, INFORMATION IS USEFUL, KNOWLEDGE IS PRECIOUS. 

Data. – Data is raw and it’s abundant. It simply exists and has no significance beyond its existence . It 

can exist in any form, usable or not. It does not have meaning of itself. Collecting users activity log will 

produces data. 

Information. – Information is data that has been given meaning by way of relational connection. 

Knowledge. - Knowledge is the appropriate collection of information, such that its intent is to be useful. 

Internet users are generating petabytes of data every day. Millions of users access billions of web pages 

every millisecond, creating hundreds of server logs with every keystroke and mouse click. Having only 

user log data is not useful. To give better service to user and generate money for business it is required 

to process raw data and collect information which can be used for providing knowledge to users and 

advertisers. Source: http://www.whatsabyte.com/ 

Based on these figures, I opine that intelligence exists out there just waiting to be tapped. Oh, come on 

now, you do have search engines to help research that data; it’s only 8 zetabytes! Lots of data but guess 

what, even Google which is considered currently the best search engine, has only indexed about 170 

terabytes. Now you know why I recommend using more than one search engine with good keywords to 

assist.

The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) is an open-source database including information on 

terrorist events around the world since 1970 (currently updated through 2004). Unlike many other event 

databases, the GTD includes systematic data on international as well as domestic terrorist incidents that 

have occurred during this time period and now includes almost 80,000 cases. For each GTD incident, 

information is available on the date and location of the incident, the weapons used and nature of the 

target, the number of casualties, and -- when identifiable -- the identity of the perpetrator.

In an earlier era, “loose lips sink ships” was the military’s warning not to let even small details 

about military movements and operations slip in casual conversation. In contrast, social media Web sites 

today thrive on loose lips, making it even tougher to maintain operational security. Even the smallest 

details shared on social media sites can play a role in security breaches. 

WASHINGTON — Everyone from troops in the field to the highest brass and civilian leaders will be 

allowed to Twitter, blog and use Facebook and other social networking sites on the military's nonclassified 

computer network, the Pentagon has announced. 

The new policy follows a seven-month review in which the Defense Department weighed the threats and 

benefits of allowing the wide use of emerging Internet capabilities. It essentially seeks to manage the 

risks while acknowledging the Internet is proving a powerful tool for a myriad of tasks including recruiting, 

public relations, collaboration with a wide range of people and for communications between troops and 

their families. 

To guard security, it allows commanders to cut off access – on a temporary basis only – if that's required 

to safeguard a mission or reserve bandwidth for official use. The new directive also makes practices 

uniform across the entire department, in which different commands previously blocked certain things 

while others didn't. Visiting sites for pornography, gambling or hate-crime activities is still prohibited on 

military computers. 

"We need to take advantage of these capabilities that are out there – this Web 2.0 phenomena," said 

David M. Wennergren, deputy assistant secretary of defense for information technology. "The idea is be 

responsible and use these tools to help get the job done." 

The new directive means that YouTube, MySpace and more than a dozen sites blocked by the Pentagon 

in May 2007 will be unblocked, he said. The Pentagon said at the time that the use of video sites in 

particular was straining its network and using too much of its bandwidth. But Wennergren said Friday that 

the move failed to stem the use of bandwidth because people just went to alternate sites.

BLOGS, like social sites, are good sources of information harvesting for intelligence purposes if 

you have the time and patience, especially the time. Good keyword searching will cut down on the time 

35


you spend on BLOGS if your only reason for being there is to harvest information. It is very easy to get 

distracted though with all the videos that appear daily and you have to be focused on the task. I think that 

too much information is being passed around. A good analyst, foreign or domestic, can put together 

enough information from BLOGS to build a good intelligence file. However, I realize that people are not 

going to shut them down and too many folks out there want access to them.

(why would CAMS be included in this handout? Imagine being told you have to deploy to a certain 

country to conduct an operation. You are told the weather is 40 degrees with a heavy overcast and it is 

drizzling. You can only imagine an image of what it looks like. However, with a weather cam of the area 

the image is vivid and in real time. Most major cities around the world have cams showing certain parts of 

the city which can be very helpful when planning an operation. They can show areas to avoid and roads 

that support your equipment.)

Drugs and Terrorism, Drug Cartels, And Criminal Organizations 

At least seven major Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) are primarily responsible for the $39 

billion drug trade that floods narcotics across the U.S.-Mexico border. These opportunistic cartels form 

loose alliances that are only as strong as the narcotics proceeds fueling them. The DEA refers to several 

as "poly drug" organizations because they traffic cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and meth. 

Here's a guide to the most active, and largest, cartels: 

Mexican Federation (Sinaloa Cartel): The Sinaloa Federation, which is also known as the Pacific Cartel 

or Golden Triangle Alliance, was formed in the 1970s by Mexico's four major crime syndicates. By the 

1990s, the cartel had grown to the size of the Colombian Medellin Cartel in its heyday and, in 2008, 

apparently split into several warring factions, including the Beltran-Leyva Organization. The Federation 

directs a large-scale transportation network for various narcotics, including shipping multi-ton quantities of 

cocaine from South America. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera has been leading the cartel since 1995. 

Arellano-Felix Organization (Tijuana Cartel): Seven brothers and four sisters inherited the cartel from 

Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, who was jailed in 1989 for the kidnapping and murder of DEA agent Enrique 

"Kike" Camerena Salazar, among other crimes. Earlier this year, current leaders Teodoro "El Teo" Garcia 

Simental, Raydel "El Muletas" Lopez Uriarte, and brother Manuel were arrested. 

Carrillo-Fuentes DTO (Juarez Cartel): Since the early 1990s, this cartel has controlled the smuggling 

corridor from Juarez-El Paso southeast to Ojinaga, Chihuaha, using extreme violence and intimidation. 

After the death of founder Amado Carrillo Fuentes in a Mexican hospital as a result of botched plastic 

58


surgery, brother and current leader Vicente took over. The cartel has been battling the Sinaloa Cartel, 

and relies on the Barrio Azteca gang in El Paso, Dallas, and Austin to distribute cocaine. 

Gulf Cartel: The cartel's primary areas of operation include Nuevo Laredo, Miguel Aleman, Reynosa, and 

Matamoros in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. The poly drug Gulf Cartel also operates in Nuevo Leon 

and Michoacan and is the primary supplier of the Atlanta area. 

Los Zetas Cartel: As the one-time enforcers for the Gulf Cartel, the paramilitary Zetas are one of the 

most powerful and violent cartels in Mexico. The cartel was formed when Gulf hired a small group of 

deserters from the Mexican Army Special Forces that may have received counter-insurgency training at 

Fort Benning, Ga. The group split off and created its own cartel in early 2010. 

La Familia Michoacana Cartel: This unique cartel, which achieved the federal government's Kingpin 

Designation Act list in April 2009, began in 2004 as armed vigilantes who portrayed themselves as crime 

fighters, stating their goal of eradicating meth. The group's practice of placing poorly spelled notes near 

the decapitated heads of rivals (especially in Uruapan) is part of its propaganda campaign. The cartel 

exhibits religious tendencies and cult-like behavior, requiring members to join group prayer sessions and 

wear La Familia logos. The group now produces meth in hilly Michoacan and intelligence officials believe 

it pays millions a month in bribe money to politicians. 

Beltran-Leyva Organization: In 2008, Arturo Beltran Leyva separated from the Sinaloa Cartel and now 

transports multi-ton quantities of cocaine and marijuana into Arizona, California, Illinois, New York, and 

Texas.

Drug Smuggling Techniques/Methods 

You can hide drugs up your anus or vagina but a good customs agent will find them if 

they’re suspicious. There are also experts who make a living packing suitcases and 

rucksacks. It is possible to do it in a way that doesn’t show up on x-rays and that feels 

genuinely like part of the baggage. It’s an acquired skill however and the customs boys 

know exactly what to look for. Another popular method is to buy platform shoes and cut 

out a space in the heels. This is hardly original but if you decide to try this please at least 

get used to wearing the things first. You’ll look a little conspicuous overbalancing as you 

walk through the airport.

Cocaine Submarines – Great video by National Geographic on cocaine submarines.

Colombian traffickers are using a new secret weapon smuggling cocaine north – drug submarines. 

Up to 30 meters long and almost impossible to detect, are capable of delivering several tons of cocaine in 

one shipment. Dozens of submarines are believed to be operating between the coasts of Colombia and 

Mexico, and police estimate that another 70 will be built next year alone. NGC is U.S. Drug Enforcement 

Agency and the Colombian military agents in search of drug submarine construction in some of the most 

60


remote jungles of the planet. Here, where the malaria-infested mosquitoes swarm narco-generals and 

heavy hand of the local population, there are at least 300 known cocaine laboratories and finished 

countless drug submarines and their factories. In hard-fought war against drug trafficking, an estimated 

catch comes in: a surprisingly sophisticated sub built by hand in the jungle.

Gangs in The Military (According to the FBI, 15,000 men and women in the U.S. military have ties 

to notorious American gangs such as MS-13, the Crips, the Bloods, and the Gangster Disciples.) 

http://www.policemag.com/Videos/Channel/Gangs/2011/01/Gangs-In-the-Military-Part-1.aspx 

Gang tattoos are an excellent tool for law enforcement and corrections officers to use to identify 

known or suspected gang members. This gallery includes examples of tattoos worn by predominanly 

Hispanic gangs such as the Mexican Mafia, MS-13, and the Latin Kings. The number "13" is used 

because M (or La Eme) is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet and is used to signify the Mexican Mafia, 

which uses Sureños—gangs that swear allegiance to the Mexican Mafia—to carry out its orders from 

prison. http://www.policemag.com/Channel/Gangs/PhotoGallery/2009/08/Gang-Tattoos-Hispanic.aspx

Glowfoto : A basic photo sharing site that offers galleries and the option to upload via mobile 

phone. 25million photos have been uploaded by 73k users so far. 

MyPhotoAlbum : Photo sharing with the usual features and also offers printing; currently offering 

15 free prints to new users. Has had 32million photos uploaded so far. 

Panoramio : Photo storage and a mapping feature via a mashup with google maps. Each photo 

gets linked with the place it was taken. 2GB storage included for free. 

Ringo : No, not the beatle but a rather smart-looking site which combines photo sharing with 

social networking. Every week you get your friends newest photos and comments delivered to you. One 

of the better-looking sites. 

Zoomonga : A nice-looking site but the rather stingy 20mb of uploads per month on the free plan 

could be why it doesnt look exactly busy. 

Webshots : Another huge site owned by Cnet. Provides the usual photo sharing features plus a 

desktop utility for organising photos, prints on gifts etc. 

Photobucket : The favourite of myspace users, provides free and paid accounts for image hosting 

and video hosting along with the ability to create a flash slideshow. Have harnessed viral marketing to a 

tee and provide most of the image hosting for myspace and other social networks. 

PBase : Not the easiest on the eye but seems to have gained huge traffic since it was established 

in 1999. Very basic features and a huge member’s forum. 

OrangePics : A basic site that emphasizes ease of use and safety of your photos. Currently 

offering your first full year for free, after which is an annual charge of $24.95. 

Phanfare : Offers unlimited storage for a monthly fee of $6.95 to host your photos and video clips. 

Also provides downloadable organisation software. 

SmugMug : Really nicely designed site that offers accounts from $59.95 per year with a free trial. 

The user galleries are nice to look at and you can include video in these. 

Dropshots : Front end looks nice and clean and the features are up to scratch but viewing the 

sample gallery lets the site down - cluttered and ugly. 

Slide : Another site that has taken advantage of myspace to create viral marketing. Users upload 

photos and create slideshows using the editor and then post them to their profile or blog etc. Controls are 

nice and easy to use, will do well unless myspace bring out their own slideshow tools. 

Photosite : Provides photo sharing but you get the impression the site is more about selling prints 

and gifts than that. looks a touch too corporate although the drag and drop tools sound impressive. 

23HQ : Nice site which provides completely free accounts, basic features such as galleries, 

tagging and photogroups; where you can form your own community of friends and chat and share each 

other’s photos. 

Kodak Gallery : Goes under the name of a photo sharing site but looks very corporate and set up 

to flog merchandise rather than provide a nice website experience. 

Zoto : Nice site with good features such as geo-tagging, photo blogging and the usual community 

features such as browsing by interest. Free version with the option to upgrade to a pro account for $24.95 

per year. 

Snapfish : Another corporate site run by Hewlett Packard, offers photo sharing and digital prints 

of your snaps. 

Flukiest : Photo, Video and music sharing with the ability to upload via mobile phone or a 

personalised Flukiest email address. 

Imagestation : Sonys photo sharing offering, much better looking the Kodaks or HPs. Usual 

features with printing options but also the ability to upload via your psp. 

PictureTrail : Another site that is combining photo sharing and social networking. Provides 

myspace style customisable profiles and some nice flash widgets to create 3d cubes of your photos, heart 

shapes, slideshows, screensavers and loads more bits and bobs. 

79


Hello : Great domain and Googles offering which is designed to work in tandem with their picasa 

image organising software which they acquired. Picasa is great piece of software and helps you find 

pictures you had long forgotten about. it seems that hello allows you to send images to your friends like 

and instant messager or to your blogger blog. 

Parazz : Parazz is a nifty looking site which offers drag and drop uploading, slideshow creation 

with the option to add a soundtrack, camera phone uploads and a colour theme editor. They provide a 

free version or pro version for $29 a year. 

Zeec : Clean looking site with nice user galleries, offers the choice of uploading via your pc or 

mac with their software or via mobile phone. 

Funtigo : A site offering photo scrapbooks, users can deesign each album or Web page the way 

you they like by adding text, backgrounds, clipart and animated text to their pages. Nice features and as 

myspace found out, people like to customise their pages.

Despite Israel's refusal to acknowledge its nuclear weapons status, its secret arsenal is an open secret 

that Israeli policy makers don't go out of their way to deny. From its beginnings in the mid-1960s, Israel's 

program has developed into one that rivals those of larger powers like France and Britain. Here, based on 

interviews with U.S. intelligence officials and nuclear experts, is a portrait of Israel's strategic weapons 

programs. http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/israel/strategic/index.shtml

SITE Intelligence Group Monitoring Service ("By monitoring terrorist and extremist websites and 

penetrating password-protected Al Qaeda linked sites, SITE provides a state-of-the-art intelligence 

service to both practitioners and analysts to understand the adversary." - Rohan Gunaratna, Author, 

Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror (Columbia University Press) Studying the primary source 

propaganda, training manuals, and chatter of terrorists offers insight into terrorists and their activities that 

can not be obtained anywhere else. Failing to monitor terrorist propaganda is a failure in intelligence. To 

fulfill this need, the SITE Intelligence Group offers its Monitoring Service, which provides numerous daily 

translations of terrorist propaganda and multimedia from primary source terrorist websites.)

OSINT Training http://opensourceintelligencetraining.com/index.htm 

INSCOM Intelligence Analyst Training Program https://www.us.army.mil/suite/portal/index.jsp 

The idea with this training course is to help students understand how to gain intelligence on 

people or organizations using Internet based open source intelligence. Although the course is presented 

by Paterva the course does not center just on Maltego technology. The training course focuses on the 

underlying technology and tecniques and tries to give students insight in how the tool collects and 

correlates the information. http://www.paterva.com/web4/index.php/services 

OSINT Exploitation and The Criminal Threat 

This section is devoted to technology that is very easily exploitable by criminals. I use the word “criminal” 

as an umbrella term for anything from gangs to terrorists, human/drug/weapon smugglers to burglars, and 

anything in between. In other words, it is all-encompassing. It is not difficult to think like a criminal; all of 

us have at some point thought about doing something cruel. But for the most part we do not carry out our 

thoughts into action because we are law abiding citizens and we are rational people. Think about the time 

when a neighbor, a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, or relative did something to displease us. Human nature, 

and psychology, says get even and do something back. But again, we are rational people. What I am 

trying to drive here is the point that all of us are capable of evil thought and it does not matter who we are. 

We just don’t admit to it. Remember Jimmy Carter and lust; not necessarily evil though. How about Bill 

Clinton and “I did not inhale “. They admitted to things in the hope that by doing this they would get 

positive results but instead those innocent comments came back to haunt them and they became the butt 

end of jokes. So, go ahead! Think like a human or drug smuggler. Think like a terrorist. Think like a gang 

banger. Think like a drug cartel boss. But most of all think! How can I exploit technology to further my 

criminal enterprise? By doing this brand of thinking you help law enforcement counter the threat whatever 

it may be or at least make them aware of the type of countermeasures to employ. 

Why is it that most of the OSINT discussions are held behind firewalls and there is a requirement for 

passwords to access the subject? No, enough! I am going out on a limb and invite all to it. What a 

contradiction in terms. Open source but yet very hush, hush. We are not fooling anyone. Even criminals 

know how to exploit open source information and create intelligence from it. When I told a good friend of 

mine of what I intended to do, this is what he had to say. “We are not dealing with ignorant or stupid 

people. These people come from our professions, the computer industry, are computer engineers, etc. If 

you check open source you will see the bad guys asking for people with these skills. Not putting the 

information out in the open or in a book because the bad guys will find out and use it is only for those that 

are new to the game, do not understand the criminal element or their MO. In addition not having this 

information will hinder us as the new people to the game may not even know we know... Bad guys leave 

trails when they get sloppy and they do.” 

Personal Drones: When and where does it end? That is, making it easier for the enemy. Let’s go 

beyond celebrity stalking and spying on your neighbors. Drug Cartels, human and drug smugglers are 

always on the lookout for anything that will make their activities more successful. Let’s role play: I am a 

smuggler (humans or drugs) and I have lookouts on high hills overlooking the border fence reporting 

activities back to me, however, they are static and cannot maneuver from their high points. I can utilize 

drones to hover over the fence/border for 360 degree coverage. I can see where the Border Patrol vehicle 

is on the other side of the fence; something my lookout even on a high point cannot observe. I can also 

118


determine how long it takes for the patrol to make a round of the area. What else can I make out? What 

they look like and now I can make contact with them when they are off duty for possible bribery. The 

options are without limits. I have millions at my disposal. I will buy several for the kids along the border to 

enjoy flying while I interleave my own surveillance drone into the mix. I could also land mine on the other 

side to lay in wait and observe. Granted the batteries do not last long but I don’t need that much 

downtime. As soon as I observe what I need, I can bring my craft back over the fence and send another 

to lie in wait or do other types of collection. I can hire techies and have them experiment with the drones 

to extend their range and battery life. Does it sound far fetched? I don’t think so.

Smartphone Applications 

Now here are two apps no self respecting terrorist or smuggler should be without; Compass and 

GpsCompassMap. My intentions are not of sounding heartless or to delve into the macabre but rather to 

point out the control criminals obtain with this technology. The following examples deal mostly with 

Google Earth and how it has been utilized by terrorists. With the newer applications one does not need 

the desktop or laptop computer but a simple smartphone with all the bells and whistles of a regular CPU. 

The other advantage is that you do not leave as large an electronic footprint. The smartphone GPS is 

turned on as needed to avoid detection. There are other ways also. 

No doubt you have heard or read about Iraqi insurgents having Google Earth imagery of British military 

bases (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070312-google-censor.html). 

There are indications that the gunmen who stormed Mumbai on November 26, and the people who 

trained them, were technically literate. The group appears to have used complex GPS systems to 

navigate their way to Mumbai by sea. They communicated by satellite phone, used mobile phones with 

several different SIM cards, and may have monitored events as the siege unfolded via handheld 

Blackberry web browsers 

(http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article5311241.ece). 

Israel’s fears in regards to Google Earth’s satellite imaging tools have come to fruition. Members of 

Palestine’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a group aligned with the Fatah political party, has admitted to using 

Google Earth for mapping targets for rocket strikes. Khaled Jaabari, the group’s commander, has said 

that they are using Google Earth images to check details against their own maps in order to find sensitive 

areas that are vulnerable to strikes (http://mashable.com/2007/10/25/missile-attacks-israel-google-earth/). 

Compass – I have tried this one and although still a little quirky it gives GR8 results. I can just begin to 

imagine the ways a criminal can put this technology to use. It is accurate when it comes to the 

coordinates and addresses. I cross referenced it with Google Earth, also on my smartphone, and it is right 

119


on. Using those two in concert give excellent results. Very handy for a criminal away from built up areas 

where all they want are coordinates that can be saved and returned to at a later date. I think you get my 

implication here. 

GpsCompassMap – Another great little app. Combine Google Earth, Compass and this one and you 

have some power at your disposal. This one could replace Compass altogether but the more apps to 

cross check for accuracy, the better. Criminals are sure to fall in love with this one. It is extremely 

accurate. Went home for lunch and adjusted all the settings for the round-trip. It tells how many satellites 

are available and the number it is taking advantage of. Speed (miles, kilometers, knots, etc) of vehicle is 

very accurate as I compared it to my speedometer. As you leave the departure point the screen adjusts to 

show the entire track and at the end shows distance traveled. Geo coordiantes which change according 

to location are a great feature. Superb tool for smugglers on the Southwest (Arizona/Mexico) Border but 

that’s as far as I go. 

Untraceable Encrypted Blackberrys - Mexico has no reliable register of handsets, mobile numbers, or 

users. Vendors are unregistered and sell the phones and SIM cards for cash, no questions asked. In 

other words, the cartels have nothing to worry about until such a time that Mexico makes strides to 

establish an official registry. (http://www.theage.com.au/national/bikies-trafficking-in-data-secrecy-usingmexican-blackberrys-20110205-1aht9.html)

Social engineering is the act of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging 

confidential information. The term typically applies to trickery or deception for the purpose of information 

gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with 

the victim.

Social Networking 

Social networking sites can be especially useful for the analyst. Many of the sites are used by 

terrorists, gangs, criminals and others with less than honorable intentions. Careful analysis of these open 

source worlds can yield intelligence you never knew existed. Like a jigsaw puzzle, you may have to visit 

several sites (as the enemy does to post bits and pieces of information so as to not leave a trail) to bring it 

all together. This is the heart of analysis: bringing it all together to monitor the beat.

22 Free Tools for Data Visualization and Analysis (There are many tools around to help turn data 

into graphics, but they can carry hefty price tags. The cost can make sense for professionals whose 

primary job is to find meaning in mountains of information, but you might not be able to justify such an 

expense if you or your users only need a graphics application from time to time, or if your budget for new 

tools is somewhat limited. If one of the higher-priced options is out of your reach, there are a surprising 

number of highly robust tools for data visualization and analysis that are available at no charge.)

Granted there are many units out there that do not have the budget to buy or subscribe to 

expensive analytical software, but this should not stop the analyst from doing his/her work. There are 

abundant resources of freebies that when used in conjunction with each other provide just as powerful 

analytical capabilities. I actually view this as a heavy plus (+). When we use expensive commercial 

versions of analytical software that give instantaneous analysis/gratification we tend to depend too much 

on the outcome and in many cases take the results for granted. When we do this we cheat ourselves from 

doing our own critical thinking and critical analysis for good predictive analysis. However, by taking 

advantage of the free (or very cheap) community versions and using them together we force ourselves to 

do more critical thinking/analysis because we are trying to determine what information to input into one 

program based on the output of another program.

Google Goggles. You have to try this one and see for yourself. My mind wandered as I gave this 

one a spin. Suppose a drug cartel member is interviewed in a strange location, however, in the distance 

you are able to distinguish a building and…. What if you found a note at a terrorist location in a different 

language. The possibilities are endless. Google Goggles lets you search Google using pictures from your 

camera phones. We take an image as input, and using several image recognition backends (object recognition, 

place matching, OCR, etc), we return relevant search results.

Google Squared. Google Squared is an experimental tool that takes a category (like US presidents, 

roller coasters, or digital cameras) and attempts to create a starter "square" of information, automatically 

fetching and organizing facts from across the web. You can modify your square by removing rows and columns 

you don't like--or by adding new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant 

facts. Verify and correct the facts in your square by exploring the original sources and investigating other 

possible values. If you're happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared 

does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy. I use this one often. You can then export the 

results into an excel spreadsheet that you can then modify to suit your needs. Using this one in conjunction 

with Google Squared helps fill in the blanks. http://www.google.com/squared 

Google News Timeline is a web application that organizes information chronologically. It allows users 

to view news and other data sources on a zoomable, graphical timeline. You can navigate through time by 

dragging the timeline, setting the "granularity" to weeks, months, years, or decades, or just including a time 

period in your query (ie. "1977"). I queried MS-13 and was amazed at the results. Went back to 1996 and was 

able to do some raw trend analysis. Did the same thing with “California Gangs”. It will take patience. 

Available data sources include recent and historical news, scanned newspapers and magazines, blog posts 

and Twitter status messages, sports scores and various types of media like music albums and movies. 

Using this one in conjunction with Google Squared helps fill in the blanks.

Maltego is an open source intelligence and forensics application. It will offer you timous mining 

and gathering of information as well as the representation of this information in a easy to understand

information and identify previously unknown relationships between them. http://www.paterva.com/web5/ 

ORA is a dynamic meta-network assessment and analysis tool developed by CASOS at Carnegie 

Mellon. It contains hundreds of social network, dynamic network metrics, trail metrics, procedures for 

grouping nodes, identifying local patterns, comparing and contrasting networks, groups, and individuals 

from a dynamic meta-network perspective. *ORA has been used to examine how networks change 

through space and time, contains procedures for moving back and forth between trail data (e.g. who was 

where when) and network data (who is connected to whom, who is connected to where …), and has a 

variety of geo-spatial network metrics, and change detection techniques. *ORA can handle multi-mode, 

multi-plex, multi-level networks. It can identify key players, groups and vulnerabilities, model network 

changes over time, and perform COA analysis. It has been tested with large networks (106 nodes per 5 

entity classes).Distance based, algorithmic, and statistical procedures for comparing and contrasting 

networks are part of this toolkit. http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/projects/ora/

Analysis Of Competing Hypotheses (ACH), Analysis of Competing Hypotheses is a simple model 

for how to think about a complex problem. It takes you through a process for making a well-reasoned, 

analytical judgment. It is particularly useful for issues that require careful weighing of alternative 

explanations of what has happened, is happening, or is likely to happen in the future. It helps you 

overcome, or at least minimize, some of the cognitive limitations that make prescient intelligence analysis 

so difficult. ACH is grounded in basic insights from cognitive psychology, decision analysis, and the 

scientific method. It helps analysts protect themselves from avoidable error and improve their chances of 

making right calls. A free download. http://www2.parc.com/istl/projects/ach/ach.html

not as powerful as the commercial version, which is also very expensive, but has great utility when used 

in conjunction with other free sites like Silobreaker. http://www.paterva.com/web2/ 

A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods (If you've ever wondered how to model something, or 

were looking for new ideas for segmenting and presenting complex concepts, this is an incredible online 

resource. A neat graphical explanation and example of each "element" (ex; a cycle diagram) appears as 

soon as your cursor scrolls over them. For instance, they've color-coded their categories: data, metaphor, 

concept, strategy, information, and compound visualisation techniques. As if that were not enough to 

spark your brain, the creators also provide clues as to whether the model works best for convergent or 

divergent thinking, and whether it is more for an overview vs. detailed perspective.)

evaluation criteria. The user arranges the evaluation criteria in descending order of importance and tells 

the program how much more important each criterion is than the next lower criterion. These importance 

ratings are used to calculate weights for each criterion. SquidMat takes user-supplied values for each 

course-of-action/criterion combination and converts them to Z scores. Using the criterion weights, the 

program calculates weighted sums for each course of action. The course of action with the highest 

weighted sum is considered to be the best. http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/jmstauffer/Squidmat/

NNDB Tracking the Entire World. Not sure if this one has any utility but I throw it in for your 

perusal. I had fun with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Vladimir Putin. NNDB is an intelligence aggregator 

that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. 

Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the 

usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.). But it mostly exists to 

document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious. A person's otherwise 

inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with. 

http://www.nndb.com/ 

Visualization Software: Analysts are great when it comes to understanding relationships. Visual 

results jump right at you. If they can query a search engine that produces results in a relational (visual) 

format, they immediately grasp the information and start drawing conclusions. Visual results are more 

appealing than endless lists of browsing results which are extremely time consuming even when doing 

key word searches. 

Viewzi is a metasearch engine. It searches not only Google and Yahoo, but also Flickr, YouTube 

and other great sources of information to present the search results blended in different “flavors”. You not 

only get one, but seemingly countless ways to view your search results, each using thubmnail images, 

screenshots and more as visual aids http://www.viewzi.com/ 

NeXplore lets you choose between three ways of viewing search results. For starters, there is the 

regular list of web search results: Title, description and URL. But you get much more than that. Thumbnail 

images and pop-up previews which make it easier to browse the search result and decide which to click.

Steganography and Terrorists 

Steganography is the science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from 

the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message. 

Sunday, July 31, 2011 

In 2010 Moscow communicated with a ring of alleged spies in America by encoding instructions in 

otherwise innocent-looking images on public websites. It’s a process called steganography. 

Steganography is a smart way to hide data into other files, called carriers. Modified carriers will look like 

133


the original ones, without perceptible changes. The advantage of steganography, over cryptography 

alone, is that messages do not attract attention to themselves. Plainly visible encrypted messages will 

arouse suspicion, and may in themselves be incriminating in countries where encryption is illegal. 

Today we can use some free tools to create covert transmission for any sensitive data or to protect your 

copyright. 

Protecting files copyright is by using Watermarking which is the process of embedding information into a 

digital signal which may be used to verify its authenticity or the identity of its owners. Still images, video, 

music, text, and software are all easily copied and illegally distributed, causing the authors to lose out on 

considerable income in royalties. 

By embedding identifying information in a file, watermarking software enables authors to control the 

distribution of and to verify ownership of their digital information. 

The first tool is OpenPuff a freeware steganography tool for Microsoft Windows created by Cosimo 

Oliboni and still maintained as independent software author. 

The program is notable for being the first steganography tool (version 1.01 released on December 2004) 

that: 

� Let’s users hide data in more than a single carrier file. When hidden data are split among a set of 

carrier files you get a carrier chain, with no enforced hidden data theoretical size limit (256Mb, 

512Mb… depending only on the implementation) 

� Implements 4 layers of hidden data obfuscation (cryptography, scrambling, whitening and 

encoding) 

� Extends deniable cryptography into deniable steganography 

The current version is OpenPuff 3.40 and released on the 18th of July. 

Another interesting tool is QuickStego which lets you hide text in pictures so that only other users of 

QuickStego can retrieve and read the hidden secret messages. 

Once text is hidden in an image the saved picture is still a ‘picture’, it will load just like any other image 

and appear as it did before. 

The image can be saved, emailed, uploaded to the web as before, the only difference will be that it 

contains hidden text

Suicide Bomber Profile 

Following is a checklist for observing, reporting, responding and investigating suicide bombing incidents. 

It is not designed as a comprehensive or complete list of all considerations in these areas but is 

suggestive of the types of common concerns that may affect police and other emergency service 

responders. A noted authority on terrorism states that Israeli authorities and psychologists have carefully 

developed behavioral profiles that might help security personnel identify a potential suicide bomber. The 

following are among the most obvious signs of such persons according to this source. 

• The wearing of heavy clothing, no matter what the season. Long coats or skirts may be used to conceal 

explosive belts and devices. 

• An unusual gait, especially a robotic walk. This could indicate someone forcing or willing himself/herself 

to go through with a mission. 

• Tunnel vision. The bomber often will be fixated on the target and for that reason will look straight ahead. 

He or she also may show signs of irritability, sweating, tics, and other nervous behavior. (The Al Qaeda 

terrorist Ahmed Ressam, who was captured at a border crossing in Washington state while driving a car 

135


filled bomb-making materials, caught the attention of authorities because of his excessive sweating, 

furtive eyes, and other nervous movements.) 

• The appearance of being drugged. The suicide truck bomber who attacked the U.S. Marine Barracks in 

Beirut in 1983 had been drugged before the attack and was tied to the seat of his vehicle. 

• Signs of drug use - including, for example, enlarged pupils, fixed stare, and erratic behavior. 

• Bags or backpacks (used to carry explosives, nails, and other shrapnel). The bomber generally holds his 

or her bag or backpack tightly, sometimes gingerly, and may refuse to be separated from it. 

• A fresh shave—a male with a fresh shave and lighter skin on his lower face may be a religious Muslim 

zealot who has just shaved his beard so as not to attract attention, and to blend in better with other 

people in the vicinity. 

• A hand in the pocket or tightly gripping something—this could be someone clutching a detonator or a 

trigger for an explosive device. Such triggers, which may be designed in the form of button, usually are 

rather stiff so that they may not be set off accidentally. (One Israeli acquaintance described how he and 

several guards shot a would-be bomber numerous times, but found his twitching finger still on the 

button—and still posing a danger, thereafter.) 

• Evasive movements. It seems obvious that anyone who tries to avoid eye contact, or to evade security 

cameras and guards, or who appears to be surreptitiously conducting surveillance of a possible target 

location, may be a bomber. 

Such profiles are valuable not only for law enforcement personnel but for all persons who work in security 

or related fields in facilities or other locations that are potential targets or, where intelligence indicates an 

elevated risk of a terrorist attack. Programs throughout the United States have successfully recruited key 

personnel within the community to act as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement. Mall security 

officers for example have been introduced to the above type of profile information in order to more 

effectively spot potential terrorist threats. Similarly, community outreach programs provided training to 

other persons who are in positions where they are more likely to interact with terrorist cells or operatives, 

such as car rental agents, truck rental agents, security storage operators, hotel and motel managers, 

school and hospital security officers, and related persons.

Study Of Terrorism And Response To Terrorism (START) The Global Terrorism Database (GTD) 

is an open-source database including information on terrorist events around the world since 1970 

(currently updated through 2004). Unlike many other event databases, the GTD includes systematic data 

on international as well as domestic terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now 

includes almost 80,000 cases. For each GTD incident, information is available on the date and location of 

the incident, the weapons used and nature of the target, the number of casualties, and -- when 

identifiable -- the identity of the perpetrator. http://www.start.umd.edu/data/gtd/

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR COULD INDICATE TERROR PLOTTING 

By Anthony L. Kimery 

' ... being able to distinguish the ordinary from the extraordinary' 

Coinciding with concerns among some intelligence services that suspected Hezbollah "sleeper cells" in 

Canada have been activated, Canadian law enforcement authorities increasingly are training for spotting 

potentially suspicious activity and behavior that may indicate terrorists are conducting surveillance or 

other goings-on in preparation for targeting a specific structure or location for attack. 

Several years ago, Robert David Steele, an outspoken veteran intelligence officer, told HSToday.us that 

“50 percent of the ‘dots’ that prevent the next 9/11 will come from bottom-up [local] level observation” and 

unconventional intelligence from “private sector parties.” 

Since 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and law enforcement in the Washington, DC 

capital region have actively urged citizens to report “suspicious activity.” Mobile electronic signs urging 

people to report suspicious activity are routinely placed at strategic locations throughout the metro area 

for periods of time. The last one of these portable warnings I saw was at the convergence of Key Bridge 

and George Washington Memorial Parkway on the Virginia-side of the Potomac River just across from 

Georgetown. 

Lynda Howes, a civilian member of the emergency event and management unit of the Calgary (Canada) 

Police Service, told attendees of the “Tri-lateral Security Conference” in Calgary last week that law 

enforcement must learn how terrorists operating in order to prevent attacks. She said counterterrorism is 

only manageable if it is tackled at the grass roots level. She explained that it’s vital that everyone - 

including the public, the police, government and private industry – recognizes the potential indicators of 

terrorism and what actions to take if, and when, they are encountered. 

Howes said terrorists must recruit members, research their targets, procure resources, receive, transfer 

and conceal money, and provide transportation and communication. 

And "each one of those phases represents an activity” that can be identified if a person is trained to know 

what to be on the look-out for. “Those activities are associated with a behavior. Once we have that 

behavior, those are things you and I will be witnessing every single day and are things we can pick up on 

as potential indicators.” 

In late 2002, The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations launched “Eagle Eyes,” a program to "deter 

terrorism by recognizing and reporting pre-attack activities," according to an OSI memo. 

"Every terrorist act is preceded by observable planning activities," according to the OSI memo. "When 

troops and citizens know what to look for and how to report suspicious activity, terrorist acts can be 

prevented." 

Department of Defense personnel have routinely been advised to report suspicious reconnoitering of 

military facilities, people asking detailed information about specific sites, and any other activity which 

could indicate a "dry run” attack. 

DHS says “knowing what to look for and being able to distinguish the ordinary from the extraordinary are 

the key elements to successful surveillance detection.” 

“A persistent stream of reported suspicious incidents requires an understanding of the purpose of terrorist 

surveillance, to know what terrorists look for, and how they conduct surveillance operations,” DHS’s 

advice states. 

150


DHS states “terrorists conduct surveillance to determine a target's suitability for attack by assessing the 

capabilities of existing security and discerning weaknesses in the facility. After identifying weaknesses, 

they plan their attack at the point of greatest vulnerability.” 

“Because terrorists must conduct surveillance-often over a period of weeks, months, or years-detection of 

their activities is possible,” DHS continued, noting, “regardless of their level of expertise, terrorists 

invariably make mistakes. The emphasis of surveillance detection is to key in on indicators of terrorist 

surveillance activities." 

DHS states “successful surveillance detection efforts require immediate reporting of incidents similar to 

the following: 

o Multiple sightings of the same suspicious person, vehicle, or activity, separated by time, distance, or 

direction; 

o Individuals who stay at bus or train stops for extended periods while buses and trains come and go; 

o Individuals who carry on long conversations on pay or cellular telephones; 

o Individuals who order food at a restaurant and leave before the food arrives or who order without 

eating; 

o Joggers who stand and stretch for an inordinate amount of time; 

o Individuals sitting in a parked car for an extended period of time; 

o Individuals who don't fit into the surrounding environment because they are wearing improper attire 

for the location or season; 

o Individuals drawing pictures or taking notes in an area not normally of interest to a tourist or showing 

unusual interest in or photographing security cameras, guard locations, or watching security reaction 

drills and procedures; and 

o Individuals who exhibit suspicious behavior, such as staring or quickly looking away from individuals 

or vehicles as they enter or leave facilities or parking areas 

Other activity which should cause a heightened sense of suspicion include: 

o Suspicious or unusual interest; 

o Surveillance (suspicious in nature); 

o Inappropriate photographs or videos; 

o Note-taking; 

o Drawing of diagrams; 

o Annotating maps; and 

o Using binoculars or night vision devices 

“Terrorists may also employ aggressive surveillance techniques, such as making false phone threats, 

approaching security checkpoints to ask for directions, or ‘innocently’ attempting to smuggle nonlethal 

contraband through checkpoints,” DHS’s advice states. “The terrorists intend to determine firsthand the 

effectiveness of search procedures and to gauge the alertness and reaction of security personnel.” 

Karen Morley, senior director of TerraGo Technologies, Atlanta, Ga., who began her career in the 

geospatial industry in the US Air Force as a target intelligence specialist, told HSToday.us that terrorists 

need to conduct careful surveillance of a potential target in order to be confident that they can pull off a 

successful attack. 

In 2004, RAND developed the book, “Mapping the Risks: Assessing Homeland Security Implications of 

Publicly Available Geospatial Information,” for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, determined 

that “potential attackers, such as terrorist groups or hostile governments, are more likely to [utilize] 

reliable and timely information … such as through direct access or observation. In addition, many types of 

attacks, such as those by ground parties, are likely to require detailed information for attack planning 

purposes (depending on the target type and mode of attack). This type of information, which mostly 

151


comes from such nongeospatial sources as engineering textbooks or human expertise on the operations 

of a particular type of industrial complex, is essential for attackers to have a high confidence in their plan.” 

But according to John Bumgarner, an 18-year veteran of special operations who has worked with most of 

the three-letter intelligence agencies at one time or another and is now research director for security 

technology at the US Cyber Consequences Unit, a non-profit research institute, because of training like 

that promoted by Howes it has become more and more difficult for terrorists to physically recon targets, 

especially in the US. 

“To actually start planning very detailed reconnaissance of a building, and all the streets that go into it, 

and all the alleyways and everything else, that could require a lot of physical reconnaissance on the 

ground - it’s not something that you can actually just easily do anymore,” Bumgarner stressed, especially 

in the post-9/11 environment where conspicuous photographing, videoing and other apparent physical 

surveillance can, and has - repeatedly across the nation - caused people to be detained and questioned 

about their activities. 

“In other words,” said Bumgarner, “it’s gotten a whole lot harder for a terrorist to conduct the kind of 

conspicuous physical surveillance of a target that’s necessary for conducting a large-scale or mass 

casualty attack.” 

Consequently, more sophisticated terrorists are utilizing easily accessible geospatial information, which 

was examined in the April HSToday cover report, “Every Eye a Spy.”

Taking Advantage Of Search Engines To Do Your Work 

My favorite search engines, and I’m sure you have your favorites, are the Copernic Suite followed by 

Google and then others. I use them extensively and use them to my advantage when doing research and 

I just don’t have the time to sit in front of the computer and type in all the keywords. First let me start with 

the Copernic Suite. It is comprised of Copernic Agent Professional, Copernic Tracker and Copernic 

Summarizer. Tracker and summarizer are exactly what the titles imply. The tracker keeps track of 

websites and alerts you when there are changes to it. Summarizer will take an article and summarize it to 

a more manageable article; and you determine the number of words in the summarized article. The 

following applies to copernic agent professional and how to customize it to work for you. 

You’ll notice on the graphic below how I have formatted my copy. On the right side is a box where folders 

are created as I have done. In the top center are the keywords I used for the Iran folder in the box at right. 

I have programmed the engine to do automatic searches at 0800 every day (by this time I have had my 

first cup of coffee and just waiting for all the results to come in). You also will notice that on the search 

term “Iranian military capabilities” there is a number 24 in parenthesis. These are the new results that 

came in at 0800, so you will always know about new results. Just below the box with the keywords are all 

the hits that came in. The green check mark indicates that it is a valid link. Now look at the left hand side 

in the quick search box and you should notice that I have 1005 search engines enabled. With these many 

search engines enabled you should be able to pin down what you’re looking for. 

153


154


Let’s now look at Google and see how it can be customized to work for you. What you’re looking at now is 

the traditional page. On the upper right is the “sign in” link. Click on this link to establish an account. Once 

you establish an account click on the news link to go to the personalized news page. 

Click on news to go to personalized news page.

155


Clicking on the news link brings up the following page. You’ll notice on the left hand side where I have 

established all keywords of interest to me. I have included all the classical “INTS’ along with some others 

of interest. Clicking on a keyword, for example “explosively formed projectiles”, brings up the latest search 

on that term. I use the same keywords in Copernic above because the results are not always the same 

for both search engines. By using two search engines to do my bidding I stand a better chance of getting 

a plethora of results and thus more solid news from around the world. 

My keywords 

Clicking on the “edit this personalized page” brings up 

the following where the user enters all the keywords of 

interest to them. You’ll notice that all my keywords match 

those on the left hand side.

This map is shown because terrorism has always had some type of correlation to the economic 

and political health of certain countries. It may help the analyst determine where terrorist acts 

are likely to take place. Obviously the risk map will not tell with any degree of certainty where 

the next incident will occur but the analyst can make some predictions by looking at current 

instabilities in certain parts of the globe.

Tricks Of The Trade For The Open Source Analyst 

Looking For Old Information 

By Etan Horowitz 

The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel 

Things move so fast on the Internet that sometimes the information you are looking for has been removed 

or changed. Using Google's Cached Links and the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine can help you find 

what you are looking for even if the content is no longer online. 

1. If you know that the information you are searching for is no longer online, go to Google.com. 

2. Enter as much information as you can into Google's search field and hit enter. 

3. When your search results appear, find the result with the most appropriate description and click on the 

link at the bottom left of the result that says "Cached." This will open a snapshot of the Web page that 

Google took as it was indexing it. 

Clicking on the cached link may also be useful if you ever click on a search result link that doesn't work. 

4. If you don't know exactly what you are looking for or are curious about a previous version of a Web 

page, go to web.archive.org to search the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, an archive of 85 billion 

Web pages dating back to 1996. 

5. Type the URL of the Web site you want to see and click "Take Me Back." This will bring up a collection 

of archived pages from that Web site, organized by year. 

Cached Links may not be available for all Web sites and less popular Web sites may not be included in 

the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

* * * Google Can Do That? * * * 

Recommended Search Tips 

* Google lets you search for a range of numbers, in any format. To include a number range in your search 

query, type in the lower and upper numbers, separated by two periods - e.g., 15..50 I had a chance to try 

out this feature in a real-life search; I wanted to find a set of wireless headphones on Amazon.com 

costing between $50 and $100. I typed in the query (wireless OR cordless) headphones $50..$99 

site:amazon.com and, sure enough, I retrieved a wide selection of wireless headphones within my price 

range. 

Note that Google is smart enough to recognize decimal points - some of the items I retrieved weren't an 

even dollar amount but were, for example, $57.83. This feature could also come in handy if you are 

looking for a mention of a range of years. 

* Speaking of date-searching on Google, you can limit your search to only those pages added or changed 

within the past [whatever] days. This can be a useful feature if you re-run a search regularly; just limit your 

search to the pages added or modified since you last ran your search. You can do this not by adding text 

in the search box but by modifying the search results page URL by adding the following text to the end of 

the URL and clicking [Search]: &as_qdr=dn (where n is the number of days you want searched) 

So, for example, to limit my search to the last 18 days, I would add &as_qdr=d18 to the end of the search 

results page URL. 

Keep in mind that this isn't a perfect date-limiting search. Some web content management systems 

automatically refresh a web page frequently, without necessarily making any changes to the page. Those 

pages will have a recent date but the content within them may have been unchanged for months. 

* If you are based in the US, you can search for local companies through your cell phone, regardless of 

whether or not your phone has web capability. If you call 1-800-GOOG411 (1-800-466-4411), you will be 

asked to say the city and state you want information on - Boulder, Colorado, for example - then you say 

the type of business or specific business name you want - for example, "book store" or "Barnes and 

Noble". A text-to-speech program will read you the top eight results from its local search 

(http://local.google.com). If you want, Google can automatically dial any of the first eight businesses' 

phone number, or you can ask to have the address and phone number read to you. 

You can also get quick answers to simple queries by texting Google from a US cell phone. Send a text 

message to 466 453 (GOOGLE) and then type your query in the text box and send it. Within seconds, 

you will receive a text message with one of Google's Quick Answers. The default is for Google to take 

your query and attempt to find a Quick Answer. If you want a search of the web, put the word web at the 

beginning of your search, such as web avian flu. This will return you a text message with a snippet of the 

first search result, along with a link to mobile-formatted page of the search results. See 

http://sms.google.com for more information on this service. 

I recently discovered Intelways, a nifty way to search a number of search engines sequentially. It's not a 

metasearch engine; it lets you click from one resource to another. Its main claim to fame is that it 

categorizes the tools by broad type of search -- general, images, video, news, social (blogs, social 

networking sites, social bookmarking sites, etc.), file-type searching, reference, academic, business, tech 

and (natch) shopping. (Source: Bates Information Services, www.BatesInfo.com/tip.html )

PowerSet.com 

We have a new player in the semantic search arena; "semantic search" refers to the idea 

that a better way to find the most relevant material is to not just look at word frequency, 

location, links to a page and so on but to understand the sense of what is being asked and 

the sense of what is on web pages, and then to match the most applicable pages. For 

example, if I typed in a query for stock, a semantic search engine would see that this was in 

the context of livestock, and would find other pages that have to do with animals on farms 

rather than about shares of ownership in a company, flowers, or racing cars. 

PowerSet uses a technology that attempts to mine meaning out of web pages -- specifically, 

Wikipedia articles. This isn't a general-purpose search engine, but it is a tremendous tool if 

you are looking for information on a subject that spans a number of Wikipedia articles, or 

that has a number of meanings. Take "Barack Obama" as an example. There are thousands 

of articles that mention Obama -- the Wikipedia article specifically about him, as well as 

articles about politicians who have endorsed him, his early career, the roles of race and 

religion in the US presidential campaign, and so on. 

Rather than going through all of those entries, including the extensive article specifically on 

Obama, head over to PowerSet and you will get a single search result that pulls together 

what it judges to be the most relevant information about Barack Obama. There is a nice 

summary of who he is, the key facts about his career, and a relevance-ranked list of 

Wikipedia pages that mention him. 

What I find particularly interesting is the "Factz" section of the page, which attempts to pull 

together significant statements about Barack Obama in the Wikipedia articles. So, for 

example, the Factz for Barack Obama include information that he introduced the following 

pieces of legislation: 

� Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007 

� Response Act 

� Pandemic Preparedness 

� Transparency Act 

� Federal Funding Accountability 

While that isn't a comprehensive list of the pieces of legislation he has introduced, these are 

probably the most significant ones, since this list includes only legislation that was 

mentioned in Wikipedia articles. 

PowerSet is best used for those searches that cover a number of topics or areas. It's not 

perfect, and it only searches Wikipedia, but I find it an exciting new approach in the efforts 

of search engines to make sense out of web content. www.BatesInfo.com/tip.html

Bing Gets Smart 

Bing,the search engine formerly known as Microsoft Live Search, has surfaced a number of 

its advanced search commands. Some of these are new, some simply haven't been 

publicized. You can see some of Bing's features in its Advanced Operator Reference, a 

minimalist page that lists operators and, with another click, gives a brief description and 

example of when the operator could be used. 

Following are a list of four Bing commands: 

� Contains: specifies that any page retrieved has links to specific file types. Syntax is 

contains:files_type Example: apiculture contains:ppt This is not a search within 

pages of those file types; the example here is looking for pages that both contain the 

word "apiculture" and have links to files with the .ppt extension. Other file type 

extensions you can search for include doc, pdf, ppt, rtf, txt and xls. 

� HasFeed: specifies that any page retrieved has a link to an RSS feed on the page. 

Syntax is feed: Example:apiculture hasfeed: As with the contains: command, this 

isn't searching within RSS feeds; this search finds pages with RSS feeds on them. 

� LinkFromDomain: identifies all the outgoing links on a specific domain, optionally 

limited to a particular topic. Syntax is linkfromdomain:a_domain_name To find some 

tutorials on renewable energy, for example, you might search for pages that are 

linked-to from HowStuffWorks.com and that also have the phrase "renewable 

energy" -- linkfromdomain:howstuffworks.com "renewable energy". 

� Norelax: lets you specify that all your search terms, not just the first four, be 

included in the query. Syntax is norelax:search_word Use this operator to indicate to 

Bing that all words in your query must be weighted equally. This tells Bing not to 

"relax" its Boolean AND for the fifth and subsequent words in a query. If, for 

example, you are creating a more complex query and want to ensure that Bing treats 

all words as mandatory, you could search "west nile" mosquito non-toxic 

norelax:spraying, using norelax: to make the search word spraying mandatory.

Using Yahoo to Brainstorm 

Yahoo! has an experimental service called Correlator, part of its Sandbox area where Yahoo 

tries out new ideas. This particular demonstration is useful for research brainstorming; it 

gives you information -- not just search results -- that can help you get a better sense of 

the various aspects of an idea. 

At its core, Correlator is a sophisticated tool for mining Wikipedia; its default search results 

page groups Wikipedia snippets by category. The search query "lithium ion batteries", for 

example, gives me information organized into areas such as rechargeable batteries, electric 

vehicles, and electric batteries. But what's more interesting is that below the search box are 

icons for Names, Places, Events, Concepts, News and Answers. 

When I click the Names icon, the result is a dynamic word cloud and list of frequentlyoccurring 

names (geographic, personal, company, etc.) related to lithium ion batteries. 

169


Clicking the Places icon displays a map of the world, with flags in areas that are significant 

in the context of lithium batteries, such as China (manufacturing), Austin (research and 

development), and Chicago and Japan (which both have tests of lithium battery-powered 

vehicles). This alone gives me ideas on where to look next -- local Chicago and Japanese 

papers, for example, if I want to know what is past the drawing board stage. 

The Events icon displays a time line of events, again culled from Wikipedia, pertaining to Liion 

batteries. This helps me see, among other things, the speed with which Li-ion batteries 

have been incorporated into various devices. The News icon produces snippets from 20 or 

so recent stories in Yahoo News on the batteries. Clicking the Answers icon runs my query 

in the Yahoo Answers database; since Yahoo Answers tends to be consumer-oriented, the 

results help me identify the most common consumer concerns regarding batteries. The 

Concepts icon produces another dynamic word cloud and list of key words and phrases from 

the relevant Wikipedia articles. Of all the icons, this is the most variable in terms of 

usefulness. 

While limited to Wikipedia results, I have found Yahoo Correlator to be a quick way to see 

the wide range of possibilities for me to explore with a new concept.
