    Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Analyst Overtly Passive / Covertly Active Surveillance / Reconnaissance Observation / Exploration Eye / Spy PREFACE This deskside/pocket smartbook contains information to assist you, the open source intelligence analyst, in carrying out your research responsibilities in a Intelligence Oversightmanner that first of all adhere to intelligence oversight and follow the guide lines of AR 381-10, Executive Order 12333, and unit standard operating procedures (SOP). The second is to practice and implement effective operational security (OPSEC) measures during data and information collection activities online. A fine line exists between collection and acquisition, and examples will be pointed out throughout the handbook. This handout is not written specifically for the military active or passive OSINT Analyst but rather as an all-purpose guide for anyone doing research. The one big advantage for the passive OSINT Analyst is that it does not require interaction with the mark. Therefore, it poses little risk since it does not alert the target to the presence of the analyst. If a technique violates Intelligence Oversight and OPSEC, then common sense must take center stage. For those in the civilian community (law enforcement, journalists, researchers, etc.), you are bound by a different set of rules and have more latitude. One important thing to keep in mind is that when threats are mentioned the majority tend to think they are military in nature. We think of Iran, North Korea, and other countries with a military capability. That is not the case. Threats can be the lone wolf types, a disgruntled worker, someone calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, etc.

Towards devaluation of professional journalistic criteria La sindicación de contenidos en los agregadores de noticias: Hacia la devaluación de los criterios profesionales periodísticos Dr. Concha Edo is Professor in the Department of Journalism and Global Communication at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6960-867X) Dr. Juan Yunquera is Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Audio-visual Communication at the University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain) ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4062-1659) Dr. Helder Bastos is Professor in the Department of Communication and Information Sciences at the University of Porto ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6351-4610) ABSTRACT The growing expansion of Internet access and mass-scale usage of social networking platforms and search engines have forced digital newspapers to deal with challenges, amongst which are the need to constantly update news, the increasing complexity of sources, the difficulty of exercising their function as gatekeepers in a fragmented environment in which the opinions, biases and preconceptions of pundits, their followers, Twitter users, etc. has taken on a new and decisive weight and the mounting pressure to publish certain news items simply because they sell. They must also share audiences with aggregators devoted to the business of disseminating content produced by digital news publishers, blogs and RSS feeds, which is chosen on the basis of search engine algorithms, the votes of users or the preferences of readers.

  • RSS Readers & Customized Dashboards
    Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project www.lsntap.org RSS Readers & Customized Dashboards RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary" and it is a dialect of XML. Although the technical definition of RSS isn't the easiest to understand, don't let that scare you away from this useful timesaving tool. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, I recommend this short video: RSS in Plain English. It explains RSS simply and shows you how to subscribe to feeds by looking for this logo on your favorite blogs and websites. In addition to the orange RSS icon, look for these icons as well Once you've subscribed to several sites, you view them in your RSS reader of choice. The video recommends using Google Reader which no longer exists. Below is a list of RSS readers and dashboards to help you keep all of your RSS feeds in one convenient location. Most RSS readers allow you to subscribe to feeds directly from their website by simply typing in a URL, ie www.lsntap.org will give you the headlines for all of LSNTAP's blog posts. A lot of RSS readers have additional features which allow you to create customized dashboards with RSS feeds, email, weather, etc. There are many more RSS readers out there. If one of these isn't exactly what you are looking for, I suggest doing some more research. Here is a list of RSS readers that you might find useful. Netvibes/Bloglines (Great Free version) Both sites allows you to create multiple dashboards. You can have a dashboard for work, home, or for different projects.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
