OSINT
Master OSINT: From Fundamentals to Advanced Investigations
Build the skills to gather, analyze, and apply open-source intelligence across the web, social media, geospatial data, and even the dark web—preparing you for real-world cybersecurity and investigative roles.
OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence)
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the practice of gathering and analyzing publicly available information to identify risks, uncover hidden data, and support cybersecurity investigations. This course introduces learners to the core methods, tools, and ethical frameworks of OSINT, with a focus on applying them in real-world security scenarios.
- How to perform structured searches using Google Dorking and advanced search operators
- Using tools like Wappalyzer and the Wayback Machine to uncover technologies and historical website data
- Investigating GitHub repositories, cloud storage (S3 buckets), and metadata leaks for sensitive information
- Examining robots.txt, sitemaps, and hidden directories for overlooked assets Leveraging OSINT for threat intelligence, penetration testing, and digital investigations
- Ethical and legal considerations when conducting open-source investigations
Why It Matters:
OSINT is a critical first step in penetration testing, threat hunting, and investigative work. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to collect, analyze, and report actionable intelligence just like a cybersecurity professional.
