Description
Summary:This book presents information on the gathering of information and extraction of actionable intelligence from openly available sources, including news broadcasts, public repositories, and more recently, social media. As OSINT has applications in crime fighting, state-based intelligence, and social research, this book provides recent advances in text mining, web crawling, and other algorithms that have led to advances in methods that can largely automate this process. It presents a coherent set of methods and processes for automating OSINT; focuses on algorithms and applications allowing the practitioner to get up and running quickly; includes fully developed case studies on the digital underground and predicting crime through OSINT; discusses the ethical considerations when using publicly available online data. --
