The Internet has become the defining medium for information exchange in the modern world, and the unprecedented success of new web publishing platforms such as those associated with social media has confirmed its dominance as the main information exchange platform for the foreseeable future. But how do you conduct an online investigation when so much of the Internet isnt even indexed by search engines? Accessing and using the information thats freely available online is about more than just relying on the first page of Google results. Open source intelligence (OSINT) is intelligence gathered from publically available sources and is the key to unlocking this domain for the purposes of investigation. Product overview The Tao of Open Source Intelligence provides a comprehensive guide to OSINT techniques, for the investigator: It catalogues and explains the tools and investigative approaches that are required when conducting research within the surface, deep and dark webs. It explains how to scrutinise criminal activity without compromising your anonymity - and your investigation. It examines the relevance of cyber geography and how to get around its limitations. It describes useful add-ons for common search engines, as well as considering metasearch engines (including Dogpile, Zuula, PolyMeta, iSeek, Cluuz and Carrot2) that collate search data from single-source intelligence platforms such as Google. It considers deep-web social media platforms and platform-specific search tools, detailing such concepts as concept mapping, entity extraction tools and specialist search syntax (Google kung fu). It gives comprehensive guidance on Internet security for the smart investigator, and how to strike a balance between security, ease of use and functionality, giving tips on counterintelligence, safe practices and debunking myths about online privacy. OSINT is a rapidly evolving approach to intelligence collection, and its wide application makes it a useful methodology for numerous practices, including within the criminal investigation community. The Tao of Open Source Intelligence is your guide to the cutting edge of this information collection capability. About the author Stewart K. Bertram is a career intelligence analyst who has spent over a decade working across the fields of counterterrorism, cyber security , corporate investigations and geopolitical analysis. The holder of a masters degree in computing and a master of letters in terrorism studies, Stewart is uniquely placed at the cutting edge of intelligence and investigation, where technology and established tradecraft combine. Stewart fuses his academic knowledge with significant professional experience, having used open source intelligence on such diverse real-world topics as the terrorist use of social media in Sub-Saharan Africa and threat assessment at the London Olympic Games. Stewart teaches courses on open source intelligence as well as practising what he preaches in his role as a cyber threat intelligence manager for some of the worlds leading private-sector intelligence and security agencies.

PREFACE

Learn the tools and techniques of modern Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in this authoritative but accessible work, which takes the reader beyond the front page of Google and into a rich new world of investigative possibilities.

Suitable for both novice and seasoned investigators alike, this work introduces the core concepts of OSINT in the information age through a blend of theory and practical exercises. Dealing in-depth with more than 30 freely available OSINT tools, this book seeks to quantifiably build the readers skills within this rapidly emerging area of intelligence and investigative professional practice.

In addition to the introduction of the core tools and techniques, The Tao of Open Source Intelligenceseeks to cut through the baffling array of technical terms often synonymous with the Internet. A rigorous definition of what terms such as Surface, Dark and Deep webs, meta search engines, social media and indexing among others are broken down and their relevance to the investigative process clearly explained.

Theoretical sections mixed with more practical text give a guide to the more complex issues associated with OSINT, such as the operational security, surveillance and counter surveillance in cyberspace and the issues associated with running covert human intelligence sources within the digital realm.

The Tao of Open Source Intelligencerepresents the current state of the art within this field and gives investigators new and old a solid foundation from which to build their own professional practices from.

Whether public or private sector, this work is comprehensive enough to give insight for a broad readership while specific enough to provide genuine guidance on key areas of OSINT professional practice.
