Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

783 tools for open source intelligence in one course: 586 ready-to-use files, templates, checklists, search strings and prompts, 148 OSINT services and apps shown on screen, plus 49 models and methods.

Open a lecture, see the service, take the search string, run it today.

Why a simple search finds so little

Most information about people and companies is public. It sits in profiles, documents, registers and archives, and an ordinary query never reaches it. People type a name into a search engine, look at the first page and stop. The difference between that and a result is method: the right operator, the right service and a way to check what you found.

What changes after this course

You search with a system. You prepare the browser and the tools. You write queries with operators that open what a simple search hides. You know which service finds a person by username, which by photo and which by email, and how to verify a contact. You hand the routine to AI assistants and scrapers. And you do it ethically, on public data only.

What is inside: 783 tools, counted file by file

You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool and every service inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I used OSINT before I knew the word. In 2006 at Alfa-Bank I was looking for marketing candidates, guessed which words would already be written somewhere online, and found a list of a bank’s employees and a phone number. Later, at iDeals, my team used these techniques every day. I also test the tools on myself: I gave Shodan my own IP address and it showed the camera connected to my network. The methods in this course come from that practice.
