Becoming involved in Open Source Intelligence is a challenging endeavor.

There are four individuals whose transformative work in the field is held in high esteem. This book is dedicated to Robert David Steele, Arno Reuser, Ben Benavides, Randolph Hock, and J.F. Holden-Rhodes for their contributions to the field of OSINT and Internet research.
Contents

Who may benefit from this book and series? Journalists, writers, law enforcement, police, law enforcement investigators, information professionals, librarians, media monitors, OSINT researchers/analysts, intelligence professionals, terrorism experts, military personnel, media outlets, financial analysts, financial/fraud crimes investigators, students, public safety professionals. An effective search strategy on either the internet, databases or in documents begins with selecting appropriate keywords or short relevant phrases. Alternative keywords and phrases are also critical to a successful search.

OSINT Glossary is a serialized publication, which helps fill a void for researchers who are trying to locate information on the Internet with better and more relevant results. This book (Volume I) is essentially a word list and study guide developed over many years. During my career in law enforcement I became very interested in the art/science of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). It was amazing to see with the advent of the internet the amount of material someone could locate. The challenge in many cases was not the quantity of information but, more importantly, separating the wheat from the chaff. It is the quality of your results that count and not the quantity that count in OSINT research.

Having a keen interest in public safety matters I saw the possibilities of locating, posting, and sharing information on the internet with others. I read every book I could find on internet search and was amazed at the number of tools. One topic mentioned in many sources is to use good keywords and phrases. So the challenge then becomes, to locate keywords and phrases for searches. During one of my early projects on drug trafficking in Latin America I checked with a number of Latin American specialists about the existence of any book(s) or source that would tell you what words/phrases to use in queries in English and or Spanish. I discovered that no such tool exists.

Therefore, I created such a tool called Crowdersblackbook.com in Spanish with English translations for many topics that are covered in law enforcement. The results were good with the black book in searching for information in Spanish. At that time I then began to catalog search terms in English for public safety topics from crime to terrorism and in between. The results have been equally good in use of research on the internet and in documents. Now, with myself and a team of motivated researchers/monitors our time ferreting out material and gaining relevant results/information has been reduced significantly. And, our relevant results have been impressive.

The book (Volume I) is divided into two sections of which both may be of equal value to a researcher. The first section is an alphabetical listing of 5,000 plus entries. However, the number of terms increases substantially with the addition of a suffix when appropriate. The second section, all entries are listed under a specific broad category for the word/phrase. One note of caution is that many of the terms in this edition could easily be used in more than one category or in many subcategories. I have selected the broadest category for the sake of simplicity.

Subsequent volumes will be released at different intervals. Each subsequent volume in this series also contain 5,000 or more entries. It is my sincere desire that this volume and subsequent issues (volumes) will enhance your search results as well as saving substantial time. It should be a necessary component of your tool box to carry out your assignment or mission. Please feel free to contact me via email with comments, thoughts, and suggestions. If you would like to be notified of future volumes please send an email request and I will place you on a list to be alerted at the time of publication.

You may see some of the results of my work in aggregation by the use of advanced search methods using selective keywords/key phrases at latinamericacurrentevents.com and touristkilled.com/. I am also available for consultation on either OSINT research strategies and or the development of lexicon lists for search and research. Regards, Nicholas Crowder
