Description
The aspects of societal wide warfare occurring utilizing the technologies of the Internet for dissemination and recruitment by entities has been well studied. What has not been studied is the use of adversaries systems of communication, education, and entertainment to assess and gather intelligence. The utilization of the adversaries systems allows for real time knowledge of the adversaries intent and relativistic knowledge gathering from detailed information leakage of organizations. The use of colloquially known Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technology tools such as massive multiplayer online role playing games, web forum and online communities, simulated first person environments all lead to real world issues in national conflict. The myriad uses of these tools create a gap in intelligence analysis and understanding of tertiary effects on society.
