Abstract

The increasing rates of terrorism in Africa is a growing concern globally, and the realization of such dreadful circumstances demonstrates the need to disclose who is behind such terrible acts. Terrorists and extremist organizations have been known to use social media, and other forms of Internet-enabled technologies to spread idealism. Analyzing this data could provide valuable information regarding terrorist activity with the use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools. This study attempts to review the applications and methods that could be used to expose extremist Internet behavior.
