The open-source intelligence revolution: Meet the kids outsmarting the CIA | Manas Chawla | TEDxLSE

Governments are losing their monopoly on intelligence. In this gripping talk, London Politica CEO Manas Chawla explains how in an age of big data, cheap satellites and limitless social media, concerned citizens are mobilizing open-source tools to uncover all sorts of gaps in government intelligence. This “OSINT Revolution” has profound consequences: he details how this global movement is stripping naked the war in Ukraine, documenting police brutality in America, and exposing covert weapons programs in the Middle East.

Love osint. The skillset is the best thing I have ever learned.

[nilighosh]

A similar thing happened during the Manhattan Project. A scifi magazine publisher noticed that a number of subscribers had changed their addresses to a remote location in New Mexico. He figured that his fans could only be up to one thing. He was right.

I hope Google and Facebook, etc don't start censoring a bunch of arbitrary topics and locations after this presentation...

[martinote]

Yeah, dude, totally like how could any of this possibly turn dystopian? Isn't that like impossible or something?

[gorr]

Interesting..
Although I'm not sure if I'm talking about the presentation or the comments

[xiangxianghe]

I really enjoy improving my OSINT skills, but how, could anyone give me some important sources to learn such a thing? Thanks

[gwho]

His examples are all accidental, and doesn't talk about how to organize and power up conscious crowdsourced intelligence gathering

You can’t bring up osint without mentioning when /sg/ geolocated Syrian rebels or terrorist depending who you ask for air strikes by the Russian military.

[metubepick]

Don't be naive, my man! Bellingcat is not using OSINT ;-) Bellingcat is an arm of MI6 and CIA. You should have used OSINT before you made claim ;-)

[Umeshkodopi]

Right to privacy RIP... You try to miss use the technology...

Big disagreement with the name. Perhaps A better acronym, if i do say so myself.

Ask them about Einstein the intrusion threat detection system. Not the person. lol Back slush from algorithms. Trigger/flag words to get placed on systems as bait.
