SS8 is a Silicon Valley-based company that markets Intellego software, which it says can be used for analyzing intercepted Internet communications, ranging from e-mails to social media postings. “With the public moving to heavier and heavier use of services like email, on-line chat, social media, VoIP communications and web browsing, law enforcement needs to take advantage of the ability of visual reconstruction tools to analyze and render on-line Internet sessions,” the company says on its website. One of the key features of Intellego is a “Social Network Analysis” module that allows the user track the relationships of people involved in in the intercepted communications. That gives the investigators the ability to identify key individuals involved in a targeted social network.
