INT DB Portable TWiki

[APX808]

While doing the IPB course at http://culperinstitute.org I discovered that the amount of information you have to handle to be able to satisfy your intelligence requirements is huge and will require to be updated often.

I didn’t find an already existing tool, and that’s why I thought that a wiki page could help, because it’s easy to update, can include media files and also keeps track of the changes you made, bad thing about a wiki is that it needs a webserver to run, and not tech-savvy guys will find really hard to set up one. INT DB solves that problem because with just one click you’ll have a running wiki that leaves no trace of use in your computer.

INT DB has the latest version of TWiki 6.0 with a WYSIWYG editor and a basic skeleton of what you’ll need to keep your intelligence database.

This is just the first step, I would really appreciate if you could participate providing templates, cheat sheets or doing some testing.

INT DB is absolutely free, for the rest of the documentation and the download link, please visit my blog at:

All feedback and help to make this project grow is highly appreciated.

Here is a screenshot of the INT DB Twiki when you start it, this is just a skeleton that you can configure as you wish.

Ooh APX... This is starting to sound just like what I need.
I'm studying and taking clases on several prepping and non prepping related topics and the amount of relevant overlap is massive. It's just a momentous task to be able to hold all of it into context every time you cover a new area.

Hey guys,

INT DB has it's first update, here is the changelog:

   * Fixes configure script error.
   * Includes ExitPlugin to take care of the referrer problem.
   * Cleans up previous session log files on start up.
   * Includes security notes in regards to document attachment.
   * Includes POI, Enumeration and alphabetically sorted list templates.

Besides fixing some bugs, the new INT DB TWiki will clean up the log files when you start it and also solves the issue of referrer leakages, using the ExitPlugin it will automatically redirect to any link using anonym.to, you can configure another link anonymizer if you wish.

The screenshot in this post is from the Person Of Interest Template, when you create a new page you'll be asked what template to use, there you can select it or also one of the other two included templates, one is a table to enumerate stuff, like your Intelligence requirements, and the other is an alphabetically sorted table to store links to your POI dossiers for instance.

I'm working on a file so you can install easily the INT DB in an already running TWiki installation, so you can use it in other OSs just installing Apache by yourself, soon there will be news about it.

Hey guys

Many of you were asking for a version of INTDB to run in Linux or Mac OS and finally after many days of hard work I could find a way to do it.
Sadly this version won't be portable, but the installation process is short and simple and I wrote an step by step tutorial so you shouldn't have any problem.

This new INTDB version will work using XAMPP that is a multi-platform easy to install and use Apache web server with MySQL, Perl and PHP, although we only will use Apache and Perl to run the INTDB TWiki.

So now there will be two distros of INTDB, those are "INTDB Portable for Windows" and "INTDB4Xampp", both distros will keep the same version number for simplicity.

Besides releasing INTDB4Xampp I'm also releasing today the version 1.2 of INTDB, this new version includes:

    * Basic usage & tips guide.
    * Google Earth integration example.
    * The following cheatsheets:
        * Structural Labeling
        * Movement speeds
        * SALUTE report
        * METT-TC
        * Glossary

The "basic usage & tips guide" will explain you step by step how to create, delete and edit and how to include multimedia files and documents on your pages.

The Google earth integration example will show you a great tip as you can open .kmz files from your pages an see them on Google Earth and when you close it no traces are left of your work in it.

Also 5 new pages are included with cheat sheets that will help you with your intelligence tasks.

As usual you can contact me if you need any help or would like to share templates or ideas.
