Predictive Behavioral Security Analysis part 1:
gAtO bEeN -watching a mouse hole called Twitter lately, it’s an OSINT Open Source Intelligence source that monitors real events in real time. OSINT – is a form of intelligence collection management that involves finding, selecting, and acquiring information from publicly available sources and analyzing it to produce actionable intelligence.

gAtO bEeN -watching World Web War (WWW) hacktivismn has jumped started this new year, #OpMegaUpload upset lot’s of people and the organization structure of Anonymous is getting more refine. Things happened in #poland #ireland and during the middle of a DoS attack Anonymous told their warrior on twitter:
“@AnonyOps: #DDOS of European Parliament must stop NOW. They’re not the ones #ACTA
Later they tweeted this: “@AnonyOps: europarl.europa.eu back up after #DDOS. Thanks for listening to logic #Anonymous.go persuade the MEPs:

Command and Control in your face and people responded to this organized movement. Each new attack everyone get’s better more coordination Anonymous is growing up. Just look at the causes #SOPA #PIPA #ACTA #OpMegaUpload #poland #Ireland #SOPAIreland #France #Belgium #FreeTopiary. The Anonymous thingy has grown up it’s a social conscious mindset created, manipulated, organic, ???? leaderless ????. The evolution of this movement has spawned OWS the Occupy Wall Street political movement has it’s roots in Anonymous, but you can see the worldwide community support for this group that is anyone. This movement will grow and mature.
Think about it.
This Week gAtO Learned mUcHo-mUcHo, we have not only the technical means but now the social monitoring needs that can be used to gather information like no other time before. Of course our governments are getting in on the fun.

And the CIA got into the fun[1] way before it was hip to monitor the web. We know the government has all kinds of databases of all kinds of things they collect remember echelon and carnivore the FBI first grab at data. Then we yell at the CHinese for doing the same thing we did, they learned from us about gathering information about people. Now cyberspace ties us in even tighter with SMS, streaming video, encrypted mobile chats for the masses. But as more is piled on more tools are developed. Recorded Future[2] was a little geek company sucking in the data and developing Analytical tools for Intelligence forecasting and the CIA loves them.
Predictive Behavioral Security Analysis is just monitoring choice which is freedom for it is predictive and can then be manipulated to plant an idea, a spark, a tweet. “Egypt can be free” this little spark is setting the fuel for the flames that will burn in Cairo by it’s people via Twitter, Facebook and any other social media. The Arab Awakening -Arab Spring was an simple idea, manipulated in cyberspace by protester, dissidents and governments in Tunisia, Bahrain, Syria and others, we will see Iraq’s move in March of this years with it’s election, they are closing down their Internet but will the idea of freedom explode anyway. We will be monitoring this – gAtO OuT
