Class Description
In this 4-hour course, students will dive deeper into reverse image searching and EXIF analysis and learn about Image Intelligence (IMINT), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Video Analysis. The course begins with a primer on IMINT, followed by an exploration of metadata types such as EXIF, XMP, and IPTC. Students will use both command-line and web-based tools to analyze metadata and understand the considerations for using each. In cases where metadata is unavailable, students will learn techniques for attempting reverse image searches and introductory photo forensics. Next, students will learn how to enhance images, extract and download videos, and use OCR tools for text recognition.
Throughout the course, you'll learn about a range of techniques for Image and Video analysis, including:
Reinforce Reverse Image Search and EXIF Analysis
Image
Video
Explore Image and Video Search Engines
Learn Image Enhancement Techniques and Introductory Forensics
Discover Video Extraction Methods
Develop OCR Skills for Text Recognition
Prerequisites
This is an advanced course that assumes some knowledge, comprehension, and experience with 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 OSINT are advised to take The OSINTion's Accelerated Introduction to OSINT course first.
Cost
This 4-hour course costs $225.
