SEC537: Practical Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Analysis and Automation

SEC487 will teach students legitimate and effective ways to find, gather, and analyze this data from the Internet. You’ll learn about reliable places to harvest data using manual and automated methods and tools. Once you have the data, we’ll show you how to ensure that it is analyzed, sound, and useful to your investigations.

This is a foundational course in open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathering and, as such, will move quickly through many areas of the field. The course will teach you current, real-world skills, techniques, and tools that law enforcement, private investigators, cyber attackers, and defenders use to scour the massive amount of information across the Internet, analyze the results, and pivot on interesting pieces of data to find other areas for investigation. Our goal is to provide the OSINT knowledge base for students to be successful in their fields whether they are cyber defenders, threat intelligence analysts, private investigators, insurance claims investigators, intelligence analysts, law enforcement personnel, or just someone curious about OSINT.
