This suite of courses are for staff who conduct internet based research but require a more technical level of knowledge to support their online activity. Our ethos when creating this suite of courses was to encourage operators to lose their reliance on OSINT platform tools that can loose access to data feeds, provide incorrect information or just limit the data available. Attendance on these courses will provide learners with the knowledge to operate in a self sufficient manner in Advanced discreet digital investigations.
Linux 101
This course for delegates who are new to the Linux operating system but wish to attend technical investigation courses. This training equips learners with the skills to operate a Linux OS. Our technical courses utilise Linux operating systems so if you are embarking on a sorinteq technical course and feel you may need a quick top up on the linux skills, this is the course for you. The course is virtual and on many courses is offered a free additional pre-course assist.
Fundamental Cyber recon
This cyber reconnaissance or cyber recon course is designed for experienced OSINT practitioners who wish to enhance their skills and start to look at other tools and techniques to do this. Our fundamental course introduces the learner to code based tools to enhance and automate some search techniques for various platforms. The course provides leaners with a virtual learning Linux learning environment that students continue to have access to post their course. The skills taught are Linux based and can be utilised operationally with very little effort.
Intermediate Cyber recon
This cyber reconnaissance or cyber recon course is designed for experienced OSINT practitioners who are proficient in the use of coded tools and who wish to enhance their skills and start to look at other tools and techniques to do this. The course looks closer at the python coding language and how utilising simple Python commands can greatly enhance your research by building structured commands to support your investigation techniques. This is an advanced skill level course and is designed for learners who have an interest and experience in using code based skills in their investigations.
Advanced Cyber recon
This is an advanced level course for practitioners who are operating at an advanced level in the research field. Learners are taught more advanced tools and techniques for conducting internet investigations including footprint analysis and large data analysis techniques. This course is for experienced practitioners who have knowledge and experience in working with Linux and coding.
Radio Frequency, RF,
Exploitation
As we pass through the digital world we are surrounded by radio signals constantly. With smartphone technologies, Wi-Fi, the Internet of Things and near field communication our physical selves constantly interact with the RF spectrum and frequently leave digital breadcrumbs behind. This course looks at the various data sets that can be analysed and exploited when operators look at the RF signature left by a bad actor and how these fragments of data can be utilised to build a picture of their movements and activities.
Building IP Grabbing Tools
In advanced digital investigations and Technical Equipment Interference (TEI) operations, the ability to identify, attribute, and verify subjects through network interaction is a critical capability. Controlled infrastructure and specialist tooling can provide valuable intelligence opportunities where traditional investigative methods are limited. The Building IP Grabbing Tools Course is a practical 5-day advanced programme designed for technically competent Government personnel responsible for supporting or conducting Technical Equipment Interference activity or advanced Internet Intelligence & Investigation (I3) operations. The programme is highly practical and is designed for experienced practitioners operating in sensitive and technically demanding investigative roles.
Covert Account Access Operations
In modern cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent investigations, critical intelligence and evidential opportunities are often contained within active online accounts rather than on physical devices alone. Email platforms, messaging services, social media accounts, cloud storage, and digital identities can provide decisive insight into criminality, intent, associations, and operational planning. The Covert Account Access Operations Course is a practical 3-day specialist programme designed for Government investigators and operatives who require the knowledge and operational understanding necessary to lawfully conduct covert access to accounts that remain actively used by subjects of interest. The programme is designed for practitioners working in sensitive investigations where discreet access is essential to support operational success.
Targeted Equipment Interference Tactics
Modern investigations increasingly require the ability to lawfully obtain intelligence and evidential opportunities directly from digital devices and systems used by subjects of interest. Where conventional investigative methods are limited, Targeted Equipment Interference (TEI) provides a specialist capability to support operational objectives. The Targeted Equipment Interference Tactics Course is a practical 5-day advanced programme designed for technically competent Government personnel responsible for supporting or conducting Technical Equipment Interference activity and advanced Internet Intelligence & Investigation (I3) operations. The programme is highly operational and designed for experienced practitioners working in sensitive and technically demanding environments.
