Abstract
This story is about the power of Metadata. In some kind of reverse engineering process we explored the possibility of using NSA data analysis methodology for an independent data investigation of the Hacking Team email metadata. There is an ongoing debate over the significance of metadata. We wanted to question а somewhat heretical argument that bulk metadata contain sensitive information about private life of internet users and confront it with a ruling opinion that such statement is overrated. We have therefore undertaken the following social and scientific experiment using different methodologies. The purpose of this research is to investigate and consequently inform the scientific and popular audience about the real importance of metadata for our privacy.
