Internet Intelligence and Investigation

This suite of courses are for staff who work in the
internet research and investigation fields.

Intermediate Internet
Intelligence & Investigation
course (OSINT)

Our intermediate i3 course provides learners with a unique foundational knowledge in conducting what is usually called Open Source Intelligence gathering techniques.  Our training covers all aspects of a digital investigation in the research phase and equips learners to conduct independent research to an evidential standard.  All of the basic and expected subjects are included in the course such as search techniques, legislation, recovery of product to an evidential standard, social media research and image analysis with additional subject included covering validating the product you have found, crypto currency and darknet overview and evidence and intelligence production.  The course culminates in a live on-line exercise where students use all the skills they have been taught over the week in a Capture The Flag exercise.

Advanced Internet Intelligence
and Investigation course (OSINT)

Our Advanced i3 course provides learners with a unique advanced level knowledge in conducting what is usually called Open Source Intelligence gathering techniques.  Our training covers all aspects of a digital investigation in the research phase and equips learners to conduct advanced level research.  This course takes subjects that are covered on foundational courses to a higher level of interpretation and understanding.  Learners will understand how to exploit data sets and platforms to recover actionable intelligence and evidence. In addition to enhanced recovery techniques, students also learn how to investigate and interrogate product they have already recovered to retrieve more data from it.

Fundamental in Darknet
Investigations

This course has been designed by practitioners for practitioners to operate safely and effectively in the darknet.  Too may times people are told that nothing can be recovered from the darknet or users are just anonymous, however we know different.  This training will cover the fundamentals such as safely accessing and researching the darknet and how offenders access to minimise their risk of identification but also introduces students to the various services offered within platforms, the cross over between encrypted chat Apps and darknet market places  and different darknet platforms there are – it’s not just Tor!
