How do disinformation campaigns shape security in the Horn of Africa? In this episode, Arnold Koka and intelligence analyst William Adams break down the region's unfolding security landscape and how foreign influence operations are intensifying existing threats. We dive into the roles of Russia, Turkey, and regional actors, the narratives shaping the information space, and what it all means for stability, security, and OSINT practitioners.
Ever wonder how investigators and OSINT pros map the hidden corners of the digital world? In this episode, Martina Nitti joins Arnold Kochka to break down SpiderFoot, the open-source OSINT powerhouse that pulls from data sources to uncover domains, IPs, and more.
Kanye West's (Ye's) latest track is more than just another controversy. It's a flashpoint in a larger conversation about how pop culture spreads harmful messages, who it reaches, and what it means when social media platforms are used to echo hate. In this episode, Ashley Snyder and Tate English join Arnold Koch to break down the meaning of the song, the response, and the broader risks of normalizing extremist content through music and media.
In this powerful episode, Arnold speaks with Agathe Labadi, an intelligence analyst at the Counterterrorism Group (CTG), to uncover what global intelligence trends reveal about the state of women's rights in conflict zones. From Sudan and Ukraine to Gaza and Afghanistan, we discuss how sexual and gender-based violence is being weaponized as a tool of war, the staggering scale of abuse, and the systemic failures in protecting women. We also explore the systemic failures in protecting women and how intelligence work can help expose and address these hidden atrocities.
How does GEOINT give OSINT its advantage? In this episode, we explore how satellite imagery offers unique advantages over SIGINT and HUMINT, helping analysts track troop movements, assess battlefield damage, and uncover hidden activities. We also dig into how geospatial data is verified, the use of open and commercial imagery, and the analytical challenges that come with it. In this episode, Martina Nitti joins Arnold Koch to provide us with a deeper understanding of the impact that GEOINT has.
Smart glasses, such as the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses (Meta glasses hereafter), will likely facilitate terrorist activities, as malicious actors are likely to divert the initial use of the glasses to serve criminal or terrorist objectives. Potential terrorists will likely use the glasses as props to enhance their operational capabilities and efficiency in carrying out attacks, likely improving attack preparation and planning, surveillance tactics, and espionage. Given the glasses' capabilities to capture and broadcast photos, videos, and sounds, potential terrorists will likely use them to access sensitive information and sites, record the topography of potential targets, security measures, and personnel, or live-stream terrorist attacks. Given the device's potential discretion and users' ability to disguise them as normal glasses, security services will likely have difficulty identifying potential threats on the ground. On the other hand, the glasses' connectivity functions will enable law enforcement to track online individuals using the glasses for terrorist purposes by identifying networks, GPS, or IP addresses. In this episode, Agathe Labadi joins Arnold Koch to provide us with a deeper understanding of the threat impact of smart glasses.
Today, we're joined by two intelligence analysts from the Counterterrorism Group, who recently contributed to the 2025 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), an upcoming annual geopolitical forecast report. While crises expand across local, regional, and international levels, a comprehensive global assessment has never been more critical. In this episode, we'll explore the report's multi-regional approach and the key areas it highlights, particularly North and South America But first, our guests will share insights into their backgrounds and expertise.
The Five Eyes alliance—Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US—forms one of the largest intelligence-sharing networks in the world. As global conflicts evolve, so do the challenges and threats. How are the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts impacting Five Eyes operations? And with the rise of decentralized threats, like cybercriminals and private intelligence agencies, what changes might be coming to their strategies and intelligence-sharing practices?
