Welcome! In this course we will be learning about OSINT also known as Open Source Intelligence for non USA territories including China, Russia, and India, . We will be exploring intelligence gathering primarily targeted for these various regions. If you are coming from one of my previous OSINT courses you will find that some parts are repeated. This course is designed for not just anyone coming from one of my previous OSINT courses, but also for anyone with some OSINT background already. This course does assume that you have some previous OSINT experience or training. If you do not have prior experience or training, please check out a beginner OSINT course first!
We will be discussing sock puppets, evidence handling, security, best practices, virtual machines (including setting up a Linux environment with CSI Linux), various region specific tools, leveraging AI (including setting up a offline AI), data leaks, and much more. I am really happy to see you hear. If you have any questions or issues, before you buy the class, during or after please always feel free to message me and I will do my best to get back to ASAP.
Once again, thank you so much, and see you in the course.
