Course overview

Public databases and encrypted networks hold extensive personal, corporate and sensitive records across online repositories and restricted discussion channels. For professionals responsible for safeguarding people and corporate assets, locating and verifying online material is a primary operational requirement. Unstructured searches frequently overlook critical associations or compromise investigator safety.

Because modern adversaries operate across surface platforms, hidden forums and decentralised payment channels, investigators require disciplined inquiry frameworks that isolate threat profiles without triggering surveillance alerts or compromising delicate operational integrity. Practical exercises guide delegates through extracting metadata, tracing cryptocurrency transactions and mapping relational networks using Maltego and Spiderfoot.

Instruction emphasises legal compliance and chain-of-custody standards required to produce reliable investigative dossiers. Delegates practice converting unstructured online fragments into defensible findings suitable for corporate compliance boards and law enforcement authorities.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Deploy fundamental and advanced OSINT methods to gather online intelligence across open web resources
  2. Use specialised investigative tools to identify digital footprints and map subject affiliations
  3. Access deep web repositories and dark web marketplaces safely without alerting threat actors
  4. Execute metadata extraction and link analysis to reveal obscured connections between targets
  5. Adhere to legal, regulatory and ethical boundaries throughout every phase of digital inquiry
  6. Synthesise complex online evidence into concise, defensible intelligence reports
