    Activities and Societies: Watched the Internet GROW AROUND ME we are the ghosts that you created .

    From the first Commador 32
    the first computer my Dad and brother brought home from radio shack.
    I remember the cassette tape drive and phone cradle for the modem line.
    we spent hours writing simple codes and games ..and learning about the way the network was set up.
    I new I had found a new world to explore and discover
    time moves along and so does technology
    along came the
    Commador 64
    Apple
    IBM
    etc...

    Here I am 25 years Later and I still find use for the knowledge of the past.

    The internet we have today is growing and changing faster than anyone can predict .
    but knowing were it came from and growing up within it as it formed from DARPA ,ARPA ,and the WWW to the new IoT .

    I can speak on topics that I know because I grew up with them -like an old school friend that I have continued to follow.

    I continue my journey and look forward to new MOOP learning platforms
    like EDX and COURSERA
    that are opening the world of learning to everyone.

    The Ghost of No Nation is an internationally based counter terrorism unit that combats terrorism on the digital front lines of today utilizing the internet and social media as a weapon. Our cyber operations consist of collecting actionable threat intelligence, advanced analytics, cyber warfare using offensive capabilities, surveillance and providing our clients with situational awareness. Defending and preserving freedom begins in cyberspace.

    To date our operations have met with resounding success. We have terminated over 57,000 Islamic State social media accounts that were used for recruitment purposes and transmission of threats against life and property. Our operatives have also detected numerous terror plots and responded accordingly with federal law enforcement agencies. Additionally we have located and shut down over 100 Islamic State websites that were used heavily to circulate propaganda and plan attacks against civilized nations.

    The main focus of The Ghost of No Nation is centered on electronic warfare using our offensive capabilities in addition to the collection of real time intelligence to aggressively analyze threats and provide situational awareness to federal governments and the intelligence community. We maintain a large database of Islamic State and affiliated parties social media accounts and websites including TOR network hidden services which are constantly monitored. Data mining is essential for our operational success as we are constantly searching for enemy digital assets to analyze for threat intelligence.

    Ghost Of No Nation is also capable of infiltrating enemy communications via social media and other communication platforms for counter intelligence purposes. We have ground assets that are able to relay data to us from the conflict zones and provide real time information on the constantly evolving battlefield.
