There has never been anything in the history of humankind that comes close to the ability of the Internet to reach to almost every part of the globe. But, as with all new technologies, it comes at a cost—many costs, in fact.
The first Google index in 1998 captured 26 million pages, and by 2000 the Google index reached the one billion mark. In 2009 the Google Index hit a milestone: 1 trillion (as in 1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web at once!
It has been argued that we pay for the benefits of the Internet less in terms of money and more in terms of the currencies of our age: time, energy, and privacy.
With all that information out there, the trick is knowing what you are looking for and where to find it. This workshop has been designed specifically for Law Enforcement and Intelligence Practitioners to provide a better understanding of the tools and techniques of Open Source Research.
