Investigators, intelligence analysts, and others who need to extract powerful, freely-available data from the Internet, should check out this 3rd, greatly expanded, edition (described further at www.inteltechniques.com). It's packed with explicit detail, including links, examples, and practical exploitation methods that give the reader significant new strengths in extracting open source intelligence (OSINT). The methods Bazzell reveals are legal but unknown to most.
After doing online investigations for almost 20 years, I'm confident that most of the techniques Bazzell reveals are not well known to the investigative community at large. These are techniques that aren't widely taught -- insider methods -- usually restricted to seminars led by a handful of top specialists who are recognized leaders in OSINT research.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Internet research, many untrained searchers stop after dropping a few random, unstructured, words into Google or Bing -- praying that something useful will result. Those days should be history. Some of the techniques Bazzell shows include: how to properly query search engines to get back meaningful results; explore websites; investigate IP addresses and domain names; crack cell and landline telephone numbers; investigate online aliases and usernames to link them to the true identities behind them; break email addresses; extract intelligence from Facebook, Twitter, and most of the other large social networking sites; extract intelligence from online photos and make maximum use of satellite imaging and mapping tools and determine the physical location of investigative subjects through geotagging tools. There's a lot more.
