Course Summary

TS OSINT Bootcamp is a five-day course on open-source intelligence (OSINT). While the course is an entry point for people wanting to learn about OSINT, the concepts and tools taught are quite advanced when used in combination.  Our goal is to provide participants with current and topical OSINT knowledge.

Participants will learn real-world skills and techniques that law enforcement, intelligence analysts and cyber security professionals use to move through the ever growing pool of data that makes up the Internet today. You will learn to seek this information on the Open, Deep and Dark Webs, as well as understand those terms and their practical applications to daily operations.

Once you have the data, we will show you how to collate and analyze what you’ve gathered, and how to turn data into intelligence that will be useful in your investigations.

The course is centered on training each student to “live off the land”, providing them the skills to effectively employ open-source tools and some foundational cyber and digital forensics techniques which will enable them to exploit publicly accessible information repositories and achieve clear objectives legally. Each student will be provided a hands-on experience with content covered in both practical and theory lessons.

What’s Included

– Physical workbooks and digital standard operating procedures.
– Useful links and resource materials.
– A Virtual Machine tailored to the course materials.
– A certificate of completion.

– Apply intelligence techniques and OSINT tools to produce accurate and relevant assessments.
– Synthesise policy, tools, techniques and procedures to answer or solve a problem.
– Develop OSINT procedures for the conduct of OSINT collection within the workplace.

Hands-On Activities and Lab work

The hands-on lab and custom Capture the Flag activity will teach you how to become more adept at finding, collatin, and analyzing OSINT information. The labs draw on practical, real-world examples.

Each lab has step-by-step instructions that enable you to learn new OSINT skills or become even more knowledgeable and skilled with the OSINT techniques and procedures you already know.
