Class Description

This advanced course is designed to provide you with specialized skills and knowledge in performing "People Intelligence" or "People OSINT" investigations to locate missing individuals, including those who may not want to be found. The course emphasizes the importance of validating information discovered and using it to pivot towards valuable insights, both in a CTF setting (such as Trace Labs' CTFs/OSINT Search Parties) and in law enforcement scenarios.

Throughout the course, you'll learn about a range of topics, including:

•       Advanced social media intelligence and search techniques

•       Intelligence processes and cycles used by law enforcement agencies and other organizations

•       TraceLabs categories for missing persons and how to use them effectively

•       Real-world case studies highlighting successful "People OSINT" investigations

•       A simulated CTF where the class collaboratively works to find an actual missing person

To get the most out of this course, it is recommended that you have some prior knowledge, comprehension, and experience with Intelligence or OSINT. While no accounts are explicitly needed, having social media accounts (real or fake) to follow along with may enhance your learning experience.

By the end of this course, you'll have the practical skills and knowledge to conduct successful "People Intelligence" investigations while adhering to ethical standards. Whether you're in law enforcement or participating in Trace Labs' CTFs/OSINT Search Parties, this course will help you achieve your goals more effectively.

Prerequisites

This is an advanced course that assumes some knowledge, comprehension, and experience with Intelligence or OSINT. No accounts are explicitly needed, although having social media accounts (they do not have to be your real account nor do they need to be fake [Sock] accounts) to follow along with will not hurt. Before the course, please register for an account on The OSINTion Discord Here then use the Discord account to create an account on The OSINTion Wiki Here.

Students having taken another course from The OSINTion are more likely to benefit from the material in this course. First-time students seeking initial foundational instruction about Intelligence are advised to take The OSINTion's Accelerated Introduction to Intelligence course first.

Cost

This 8-hour course costs $370.
