Description

Immerse yourself in the exciting world of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and SOCMINT (Social Network Intelligence) through this intensive basic course Level 1, composed of 07 modules designed for intelligence analysts and professionals in Cyber Intelligence and Cybersecurity. This course is categorized as 20% theory and 80% practical, where you will learn the general definitions, contexts, case studies and real situations in each module, which will prepare you to face the most complex challenges of today's digital environment.Each session of the course focuses on a topic that any analyst and researcher should be familiar with, from the investigation of suspicious accounts on social networks to the identification of profiles organizing protests and hate speech on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Also using advanced techniques such as Google Dorks, database analysis and de-anonymization tools. In addition, this course focuses exclusively on the use of critical thinking, i.e. the use of logic, reasoning and curiosity, to uncover criminal activities, prevent risks in corporate networks and protect digital security.The course excels in the optimal learning of investigation methodologies on specific targets in OSINT (user names, phone numbers, emails, identification of persons), as well as for the investigation of social networks as part of SOCMINT (Facebook, Instagram and X (former Twitter).
