Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative

The Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative (ATII) is a US-based nonprofit that aims to disrupt the market of human trafficking, child exploitation, and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through the advancement of prevention, detection, investigation, and reporting mechanisms. The ATII develops methods to collect and use OSINT data (including online businesses, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, domains, names, and accounts) to help financial institutions link suspicious activity alerts to human trafficking and related activities. TechTeam will create an automated parsing tool that scrapes provided links and extracts and cleans data, creating a relational database of intelligence. This involves the following: (1) crawl clear web and dark web sites, using a MySQL database to store information such as usernames, emails, phone numbers (2) extract site info such as domain whois and SSL certificates (3) perform basic analytics with OSINT APIs to find connected information and (4) create a keyword cloud of commonly used keywords between sites and pages.
