Open Source Intelligence Cycle Idea 33

This is a starter handbook for your use. It is not complete by any stretch of the imagination and is intended to help you get started building your own handbook. You can add and delete as you wish. The idea is to get you started on something you can continue to build on and share with others. Hopefully at some future date all can be brought together for the benefit of all who use this handbook.

FOREWORD

How many times have you selected your favorite search engine and typed in a search parameter only to have 50,000 or more hits? What to do? Obviously you cannot read each hit, and trying to make sense of the boolean logic and other advanced search techniques just doesn’t seem to produce results in this fast paced intelligence environment where quality rather than quantity is the target. Not an easy task. For this reason I have put together what I would like to think is an answer to your dilemma.

This guide tries to keep you on track and away from the surfing we generally end up doing. Very easy to get distracted when doing a search and curious/eye-catching links take us away from our primary objective. Before you know it, you are in South America, Israel, Belarus or some other exotic place and you forget what you started out to do. As you know, borders do not exist on the internet and you can wind up anywhere if you’re not careful.

This guide contains links to get you the information you require in as short a time as possible and is especially helpful to the MI soldier. The intent is to keep you as focused as possible. This is not to say that search engines are no longer needed, they are indeed. But maybe, just maybe, this guide will help you conduct searches without the distractions.

I also would like to point out that everything in this handout is available to anybody anywhere. This includes criminals and terrorists. But while they may use it for illegal activities we can use it to counter those activities.

Serious people mine the WEB, others surf.

The following is taken from the Joint Military Intelligence Training Center that sponsors open source training. The handout is titled Open Source Exploitation: A Guide for Intelligence Analysts.

Recently, the total quantity of data available on the Internet was estimated to be 7,500 terabytes total, with only 25 to 50 terabytes indexed by search engines (one terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes). While that may seem to be a tremendous amount of data, the United States Library of Congress has more than 100 million publications in its collection, or roughly 100 terabytes of textual information. So, while data on the Internet can be searched quickly, it represents only one of many forms of open source information.

It is also important to understand the volatility of Internet data. A 2000 University of California at Berkeley study estimated the average life of an Internet document was 44 days. Whole Internet sites appear and disappear frequently and without notice. For the open source analyst, this means that any attempts to catalog Internet sites will be difficult and require continuous maintenance to stay current. In short, it may not be enough to simply bookmark Web resources in a browser. Effective open source exploitation may require actual archiving of Internet sites.

The first mistake one makes when doing research is to just insert words into the search engine without really having a plan for what is needed.

What is your objective? That is, what exactly are you researching? Once you have determined this, then you must take the time to write down key words and not hit the search engine until you are satisfied with your listing. I know it’s hard to do this, but you must take the time, or else you’ll be searching longer than required. If you haven’t found what you’re looking for within the first 20 minutes, then you haven’t mapped out a strategy. However, if after mapping out a strategy you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, then the local library or university should be your next option. Remember, there are vast amounts of information still to be digitized and sad to say only about 20% exists on the Web. Now is the time to visit the subject matter experts in the library. These individuals (librarians) are extremely intelligent and know where to find the information you’re looking for. If they don’t know, they probably know someone who does.

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 and download the tutorial with powerpoint slides and handouts. I think you’ll be impressed with it and it doesn’t take long to complete.

There are two areas one cannot get away from on the WEB, pornography and political agendas. I have definitely made sure that none of the links end up with the former, but the latter cannot be avoided.

WEB Favorites

NOTE: Links with require password access to the open source information system. Personnel will not have any problems if they are on a .mil server and have an AKO account. However, there will be occasions when you may not have access to a .mil server because of maintenance or other problems.
