Using Open Source Intelligence as a Tool for Reliable Web Searching

Abstract

Open source intelligence (OSINT) refers to the gathering and retrieval of data and information from online servers or sources that are freely accessible or are open-source. OSINT has been prominent over decades, under one name or the other. With the advent of instant communication and rapid knowledge exchange, much actionable and informative knowledge can now be accessed from unclassified, public sources. OSINT can help to collect data from the web and use it according to a model's requirements and needs. A web search tool has been proposed here to look for similar advantages, explaining the tool's functionalities and development strategy, which aims to minimize target search time and use minimum input data for the same. In addition, to provide a different means for searching and data filtering so that only the best information is provided.

IoT Based Humidity and Temperature Control System for Smart Warehouse

“…Rai B.K. et al [18] insisted the importance of Open-source intelligence for the gathering and retrieval of data from online sources which can be used for several methods. Sazia Parvin et al [19] described the grain storage system with monitoring and control.…”

Blockchain-Based Traceability of Counterfeited Drugs

“…In the healthcare industry, counterfeit drugs are a significant problem that concerns patients who consume drugs. The information gathering of drugs is resolved by open-source intelligence (OSINT) based solutions (Rai et al, 2021), and the medical prescription and Report Analyzer (MPRA) proposed model helps patients to analyze the data and prescribed medicines by providing handwritten text data from images (Kumar Rai et al, 2021).…”

Decentralized Blockchain-Enabled Employee Authentication System

“…Tiago M. Fernández-Caramés et al ( 2018) provide a thorough review of how to adapt blockchain to the specific needs of IoT to develop Blockchain-based IoT (BIoT) applications. Kumar Rai, B. et al(2021) emphasized the use of emerging technologies for solving the societal issues. Rai, B. K. et al (2021) discussed the use of OSINT technologies for gathering of significant data.…”
