Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) involves the collection and analysis of publicly available data to generate actionable insights. From cybersecurity analysts and law enforcement officers to journalists and private investigators, OSINT is used widely to support investigations, assess threats, and uncover hidden connections in digital footprints. In today’s data-driven world, understanding OSINT is not only a technical asset but a critical skill for protecting privacy, detecting vulnerabilities, and anticipating cyber threats. This course equips learners with the foundations and practical tools necessary to navigate the vast ocean of open-source information ethically and effectively.

This course begins with an introduction to OSINT fundamentals, including its uses, types, and place in the cyber kill chain, followed by a thorough look at the ethical considerations and OSINT lifecycle. Learners then set up a secure virtual environment (Kali or Ubuntu), review note-taking software and password managers, and explore various search engines through Google dorking and FTP searches. From there, the course dives into analyzing social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), tracking email addresses, usernames, and images, and using specialized tools like Sublist3r, theHarvester, Maltego, and Spiderfoot to extract intelligence from IT systems. It also highlights sources for breach data, introduces IoT search engines, and demystifies the TOR network for deeper investigations.

This chapter-packed course empowers learners to conduct ethical investigations, protect personal data, and effectively gather OSINT using industry tools and privacy-aware techniques.
