During this second module, students will be
introduced to the intelligence cycle and will understand the importance of the
OSINT process in structured search. The
creation of a research plan and having a clear, concise manner in which to
manage the content captured are key foundations to an effective
investigation. Students are introduced
to techniques of source and identity verification, and a case study is used to
teach planning and content management techniques. As investigators, particularly financial
investigators, need to increasingly search for information from foreign
jurisdictions in languages they do not understand, embedded auto-translation
tools make the process manageable, and relevant content easily accessible;
these tools, briefly introduced in Module
1, will be explored in greater detail.
The 'robot exclusion protocol' is explained, and you will be shown how
to use the Internet Archive within the structure of the module’s case study.
