With the use <strong>of</strong> the Internet,people around the world are extensively sharinginformation on the net, <strong>and</strong> in most <strong>of</strong> the cases,potential adversaries utilize it for orchestratingtheir nefarious designs. In view <strong>of</strong> thisphenomenon, a new sub-discipline is extensivelyemerging, which is known as the Open SourceIntelligence (OSINT). This sub discipline reliesextensively on open media such as the news,blogs, social media such as Twitter, Facebook,YouTube etc., online forums, chat rooms <strong>and</strong>so on (Figure 6).98The Indian <strong>Police</strong> Journal, October - December, 2012, Special Issue
Figure 6: Open Source Information on A1 Qaeda <strong>and</strong> affiliate terroristOrganizations on websites (Bottom left: regarding IED makingtechniques, Bottom Right: Radical comments posting alongwith planning etc.), YouTube, Facebook (Radical Material <strong>and</strong>recruitment information) etc.This vast amount <strong>of</strong> information, in most <strong>of</strong> thecases, holds the key to a potential crime whichthe only challenge is to extract these in patternsfrom this plethora <strong>of</strong> information. Here again,technology is playing the key role in extractingthese patterns almost equivalent to the extraction<strong>of</strong> a needle in a haystack. The first step is toextract target information from the internet/otheropen sources, one <strong>of</strong> the key technologies usedin it is, crawler engine (Figure 7).Figure 7: Social Network analysis <strong>of</strong> Al Qaeda <strong>and</strong> affiliate terroristOrganizations.
