About this class
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the bedrock of modern reconnaissance, powering everything from penetration tests to threat-hunting investigations. This immersive one-day live course equips you with the practical tools and workflows needed to collect, analyze, and leverage publicly available data safely, legally, and efficiently.
Its immersive, practice-first design sets this course apart: concise theory bursts flow straight into guided labs where you build and refine your own OSINT toolkit, and every module mirrors the reconnaissance stages of real-world penetration tests, so the techniques you master translate seamlessly to both client projects and day-to-day security tasks on the job.
This course includes an Exam Voucher for TCM Security’s Practical OSINT Research Professional (PORP) Certification. Each exam voucher includes 1 exam attempt and is valid for 12-months from the course completion date or certification release date.
What you'll be able to do
- Planning and executing the full OSINT intelligence-lifecycle, from scoped collection through analysis and reporting.
- Creating and managing covert “sock-puppet” personas to gather intelligence without revealing real identities or client infrastructure.
- Leveraging advanced search-engine operators and targeted discovery techniques to surface hard-to-find email, password, and username data.
- Extracting, geolocating, and pivoting on rich-media metadata from images and videos to uncover new investigative leads.
- Profiling web infrastructure, businesses, and social-media footprints to map relationships and identify potential vulnerabilities.
