Description

In this course you will be learning about OSINT (Open-source intelligence) from a Investigator point of view. Tools, techniques, setting up a virtual lab, and how to protect yourself. This is a comprehensive course that will be using free open source tools to investigate people and companies. No matter if you are totally new to the fascinating world of OSINT and hacking or have some experience, this course will walk you through how both hackers and investigators use these tools and why.

Now I have been very fortunate in being able to teach OSINT over the years here and on other platforms teaching people from all over the world and in various jobs. You will generally see my OSINT courses as the best seller and sometimes highest rated (It's really competitive out there! And that's a good thing for everyone!) so I think that goes to show that I do work hard on these courses and that people are both learning and enjoying them. In this course I wanted it make it even more accessible my removing the VM requirement as I know that some people either don't have that ability or desire to run a VM (Virtual Machine). I still highly recommend running a VM, however we will be taking a look at performing OSINT without one while still keeping as safe as we can.

Get stuck or have a question? Always feel free to send me a message and I will do my best to help you out!

FYI, a reminder: I not anyone that is a part of DGS has any affiliation with any of the vendors, software manufactures, or programmers in this course.

I do not recommend taking this course if you have taken the OSINT 1, 2, or Windows edition.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who want's to learn OSINT (Open source intelligence) and does not want to or is able to load a VM
