What you need to know about SEC487: Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Gathering and Analysis
Micah Hoffman, author for the SEC487 course - Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Gathering and Analysis - took the time to answer some of our questions on his class.
SEC487 is an entry-level, introduction to open-source intelligence (OSINT) course and, as such, will move quickly through many areas of the field. You will learn current, real-world skills, techniques, and tools that law enforcement, private investigators, cyber attackers, and defenders use to scour the massive amount of information across the Internet, analyze the results, and pivot on interesting pieces of data to find other areas for investigation. Our goal is to provide the OSINT knowledge base for students to be successful in their fields whether they are cyber defenders, threat intelligence analysts, private investigators, insurance claims investigators, intelligence analysts, law enforcement personnel, or just someone curious about OSINT.
