Masterclass in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Part 1
The master classes in the Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) aim to present essential open-source intelligence (OSINT) skills, including geolocation and using satellite imagery for investigations, through hands-on training, practical exercises and real-world case studies.
Whether you’re new to OSINT or looking to sharpen existing skills, this two-part will equip you with essential tools and techniques to strengthen your research and reporting. Part one covers advanced search techniques, geolocation, image analysis, and satellite imagery tools for tracking and investigating events.
Masterclass in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Part 2
Part two builds on those skills with plane and ship tracking, disinformation identification, and deeper dives into satellite imagery analysis and geolocation. The goal is that by the end of both sessions, you will feel comfortable applying OSINT techniques in your everyday reporting to verify information and deepen your investigations.
