Product Description
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is a method of using open source tools to collect information and analyze them for a specific purpose. OSINT can be very helpful for hackers who use it to garner data about particular organizations and people. The course is aiming to cover OSINT and SOCMINT investigation skills. We first begin with tools, sources, how tools work, and lastly, we work on automating techniques and writing our own OSINT tools with Python.
Who is this course for?Â
This course is for everyone who wants to learn about social network analysis, penetration testing, and OSINT investigations.
- Security analysts
- Penetration testers
- Business analysts
- Digital investigators
- OSINT enthusiasts
Why take it NOW?
Due to the breakthrough of OSINT, using already-prepared tools is not always helpful and reliable. We should be able to implement our own techniques for gathering information. Knowing how most advanced OSINT tools and techniques work prepares us for a better vision regarding the OSINT world.
Why this course?Â
This course will not only cover a multitude of topics across both OSINT and SOCMINT, but will also empower you to build your own tools with Python, making it a unique training.Â

COURSE SYLLABUS
Module 1
OSINT Investigation
In this module, we will learn to use many open-sources and tools to gain emails, hostnames, metadata, and technical information about a specific target (individual, company, etc.). We use both active and passive methods to garner needed information.
Workload: 4h
- Sources and tools for finding Emails
- Sources and tools for finding Hostnames
- Sources and tools for finding Documents
- Sources and tools for finding interesting information
- Search engines and Google Dorks
- Gathering information from dark-web
- Technical information (servers, clients, and websites)
- NMAP
Exercises:
Using the OSINT techniques for gathering information from open sources regarding a popular company and/or individual.
Module 2
SOCMINT Investigation
By the end of this module, we will be familiar with social media networks and gathering data from them.
Workload: 2h
- Gathering social network usernames
- Extracting tweets
- Evaluating popularity of companies and people based on tweets
- Tracing individuals
Exercises:
Using the SOCMINT techniques for gathering information from open sources regarding a popular company and/or individual.Â
Module 3
Automating processes
Here we will work on automating some of the techniques that we have learned in the previous modules. We use Python to communicate with APIs and search engines to retrieve data.
Workload: 3h
- Twitter API
- Twitter Trends
- Retrieving results from Google
- Pastebin
- Onionland
- Entity recognition
- Stopwords, word cloud, and histogram
