Open sources have provided a useful stream of information for all source collection and analysis within the intelligence community. The use of open source information by the intelligence community is not a new phenomenon. During the technological boom of the 21st century open source has expanded well beyond its original capabilities. There is an important difference however between mere information and intelligence. Open source information is defined as “any and all information that can be derived
CUTTING THE OSINT The main problem with cutting back or eliminating any intelligence gathering discipline is the possible problem of the loss of information that can be utilized to derive intelligence. All information that can be collected should be gathered, processed, and disseminated to the all-source fusion agency in order to completely draw the best picture of an investigated situation. In the latter half of the twentieth century a burst of electronic technology occurred and developed an astounding
process is central to understanding the experiential learning process”. According to Trottier (2015) Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the procedure of an organisation gathering and examining information that is available to anyone. Web sites and applications dedicated to Social media is one of the most popular in OSINT for information generation and widespread dissemination; security and intelligence agencies can capitalise on these opportunities to covertly study, things such as terrorist group behaviour
Introduction This essay examines two forms of intelligence collection, namely signals intelligence (SIGINT) and open source intelligence (OSINT), with a view to determining whether the collection methods can be ranked in terms of importance. To this end, this essay will describe SIGINT and OSINT, with a focus on outlining the relative advantages and disadvantages of each method. It will be shown that any attempt to 'rank' collection methods in terms of their importance is only productive insofar
Introduction This lecture was given by Dr. David Mirza Ahmad one of chief mentors of Subgraph, which is a open-source security start-up based out in Montreal. The talk was based on Kerchoff’s principle which states “the security of any cryptographic system does not rest in its secrecy; it must be able to fall into the enemy’s hand without inconvenience” [1]. The kerchoff’s principle underlines the fact that free software should be having reasonably good security. This fact is well understood by
but most people didn't consider it an option for a serious, commercial enterprise. How can it be that good if it's free? Isn't it just a toy for hackers and college students? But the maxim "you get what you pay for" doesn't really apply in the open-source world. With major software vendors porting their applications to Linux, the OS has entered the mainstream as a viable option for Web serving and office applications and as a growing force in e-business (see Penguins running wild.)

University. Throughout my bachelor years up to now, I have always sought for more. I have improved my programming skills by taking elective courses, competing in different competitions and contributing open source projects. Among these courses I took, the most interesting ones were Artificial Intelligence, Numerical Analysis, Parallel Programming, Computer Architecture and Networks. I also took online courses at various websites and attended many seminars to sharpen my skills. Since Galatasaray University
contractor usually performs and instead outsource the task to a large group of people, usually via the Internet” (Evans, Martin, & Poatsy, 2016). This way allows an abundant number of individuals to work on a job for the benefits of accumulative intelligence. You can also use crowdsourcing to accumulate and analyze results of responses to make educated business choices. Crowdsourcing gives a chance for people to be heard and lets these volunteers contribute to larger and mostly better results. The
needs (Langley, 2001). As one of the most popular programming languages for the last few years, python had given Guido van Rossum many opportunities for growth in his career path. From Google to DropBox and even a proposal to DARPA to research open source coding, the future possibilities for him are limitless. It is most often suggested (on many of the websites I reviewed at least) that someone start to learn to program with Python. In true Python fashion, creator Guido van Rossum’s favorite end
or institution taking a function once performed by employees and outsourcing it to an undefined (and generally large) network of people in the form of an open call. This can take the form of peer-production (when the job is performed collaboratively), but is also undertaken by sole individuals. The crucial prerequisite is the use of the open call format and the large network of potential laborers.” (Brabham 76) One think Jeff Howe later clarifies in his definition that isn’t included in the Wikipedia
Selecting Proprietary, Open Source, or Free Software for Business Information Systems At first glance, the question above would probably lead you to believe that proprietary software should be the obvious choice when selecting between the different types simply because of the reference to the words most important. You could also look at the definitions of the three and be convinced that proprietary software seems to be more compelling than the rest. However, with the recent developments with
Open innovation is the use of purposive inflow and outflow of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation as well as to expand the markets for external use of innovation. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead use a mix of internal as well as external ideas. In addition, internal inventions not being used in a firm's business should be taken outside the company (e
Github is a way for people to share open source code. It is a powerful and sophisticated repository web-system for developing software projects. It uses “Git revision control” system. It offers both paid plans for private repositories and free accounts for open source projects [1]. GitHub was the most popular and famous code repository site for the open source projects. GIT is developed by Linus Torvald. Before going in the core explanation of GitHub it’s better to describe the term “version control”
As illustrated above, open source licensing is becoming more and more dominant, especially as long as software is provided in a digital form. The purpose of this paper was to observe if and how the open source software licensing regime has challenged the protection granted to software under the intellectual property rights. In general, the outcome is that the distinct production and distribution model of open source licenses, while different, can be compatible with the legal framework of intellectual
“Open source as a development model promotes: a) Universal access via free license to a products design or blueprint, and b) universal redistribution of that design or blueprint, including subsequent improvements to it by anyone” (Gerber, Molefe, and van der Merwe 2010) In the past fifteen years, the principles ‘Open Source’ have exploded into the software industry. (Open Source Initiative 2012; Weber 2004) Open software now rivals the market share and quality of closed, commercial products. (Spinellis
neck-like form in which something like a cork could be placed to prevent water from spilling out once inside the pottery. Finally, above the neck, I molded a funnel. The funnel would have made scooping and filling this container with water from an open source much easier. Unfortunately, my creation did not survive the heating process, so I do not have a finished product to demonstrate. However, I can best describe the container as looking much like a spittoon with a smaller opening at the neck of
this story about Linux we would like to define, in simple lines, what would be the Linux and its properties. Linux is an operating system, much like any other operating system but with a dose of uniqueness, that is based on the model of custom and open source free software research and development as well as the flexible movement on the market. This system was meant to be free from the first time it was made and published. It happened to be that the Intel x86-based pc’s were the engaging shell for its

Recent Microsoft dividends may tell us that the company has ended its growth phase and is now a 'mature' company. - More competitions from Open source like Linux and open office Windows and Office continue to supply most of Microsoft¡¦s profit. But that profit is being squeezed as more and more companies are using Linux servers and even Linux desktops. For example, China is developing its own OS (Operating
In buying this property, I'd aim for a (temporary) home and a place of work, and a way to help the American economy whilst also advancing a cause I believe in and, hopefully, making a tidy profit. The business model of my firm – as with most open-source business models – would benefit from low to nonexistent software development costs, reducing the barriers to entry into the market. The enthusiasm and existing quality of the Linux community and software likewise will assist in scaling the firm
provides users liberation and freedom of use. Open source softwares are free softwares which are designed by developers to be distributed free of cost for the benefit of community. These softwares also provide the code with which the user can modify and distribute the software under the same license. In order to understand about the freeware and how it started we need to start from beginning . In the era of 50 and 60 almost all the softwares along with the source code was freely available with computer
