With the possibility of a second war looming between India and Pakistan, the second Panthic committee consisting of Sikh separatists began to meet at the contrivance of Pakistan’s feared Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. After playing a decisive role in undermining democracy in Pakistan and ousting Benazir Bhutto, ISI again established links with Sikh insurgents […]
The first image that most often comes to people’s minds when they hear the term “hacker” is some young, video-game-loving, Mountain Dew drinking, Doritos-eating guy with glasses living in his parents’ basement. Add to that your typical presumption of a lack of social skills, pussy-pulling ability and more, and one tends to think that becoming […]
Is Greystone in Ukraine? Take a look at what we dug up relatively easily and make up your own mind. Is the company on contract with the CIA?
In the Intelligence Community (IC), the term tradecraft is used to describe the various techniques and methods used by clandestine intelligence officers working to support human intelligence (HUMINT) operations through the spotting, assessing, development, recruiting, and handling of foreign sources. Thanks to foreign policy experts over at War on the Rocks, I was reminded that […]
So to recap, Part 1 of this subject covered the deep web and its relationship to analytics, and the dark web and its relationship to nefarious activity in brief. As part of this week’s fun, I thought I would introduce you to Daisake Inoue. I met him several years ago at a VisWeek conference and […]
The CIA isn’t known for sharing its secrets with anyone, let alone the public. As such, the contents of an old Office of Strategic Services field manual aren’t something to be missed. As SOFREP has covered previously, the days of the OSS were the glory days where espionage, sabotage, and war-fighting all converged under the […]
Wandering around the SHOT show this year, I managed to find a few interesting things, but the reality is that the industry moves extremely slowly. I would argue that the gun industry as a whole hasn’t changed all that much over the last 100 years. Everyone is trying to market the next gizmo for the […]
Despite the fact that UBL is dead and the US counterterrorism apparatus has been full steam ahead for the past twelve-plus years since 9/11, the threat of terrorism around the world remains as strong and steadfast as ever. While al-Qaeda proper may have been all but snuffed out through precision drone strikes, night raids, and […]
Fox News released a quick post last week regarding open-source analysis of Weinstein’s video. The posting isn’t terribly detailed, but some of the highlights from Fred Burton at Stratfor, an open-source intelligence analysis company, and my reaction: 1) Weinstein’s clothing indicate he’s likely being held in colder climate, maybe underground. Much like one of the […]
The following is an interview with an aid worker who has direct access and experience working in a series of small villages in northeast Kenya.

In late December of 2013 the Washington Post released a well-written and highly detailed report regarding a very successful CIA covert action program aimed at eliminating over two dozen rebel leaders associated with the world’s most (formerly) well-funded insurgency: Colombia’s FARC. While the report did not receive a lot of coverage from the mainstream media, […]
What the American Special Operations and Intelligence community needs is a program which establishes these networks long before a crisis emerges. Positive steps have been made in this direction, but all fall short of maintaining long-term, consistent, and reliable intelligence gathering on a tactical level. This paper proposes a program which recruits willing Special Forces […]
