Open sources of information
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open sources of information include the surface Internet, the deep Web, and electronic mail, as well as traditional media sources inclusive of niche media or industry-specific newsletters and online discussion groups. They include gray literature, subject-matter experts, and individuals have direct observation or life experience knowledge.
Temporary note: the intent of this page is to give sponsors of sources, both free and for fee, a place where they can link to their individual pages consistent with Wikipedia policy against advertising. Most helpful is one line here linking to the organizations wiki page with a simple paragraph that describes the offering's relevance to the Open source intelligence discipline, and a discreet link to one's home page.
Examples of specific sources are listed below in alphabetical order, each linked to their own Wiki page.

[edit] Internet Access
Internet access, according to the NATO Open Source Intelligence Handbook, is not simply a matter of gaining direct access at the best possible bandwidth, but also requires a combination of knowledge about how to discover and discriminate what can be found; and how to do so anonymously if operational security considerations demand anonymnity.
One example of a service providing for anonmyous Internet access is Anonymizer.
