Foundations + Disinformation
Build the skills to investigate influence operations and coordinated inauthentic behaviour. Four courses taking you from OSINT fundamentals and operational security through to cross-platform disinformation analysis.
Protect yourself while you investigate
Build practical OPSEC habits into your workflow from day one. Learn how your own digital footprint can expose your identity and intent before you start researching others.
Analyse disinformation at scale
Go beyond individual-focused OSINT and delve into detecting coordinated inauthentic behaviour, scraping and coding social media data, and mapping disinformation networks using structured analytical frameworks.
Four courses, one clear progression
This bundle sequences four courses into a logical learning path. Starting with foundational search skills and operational security, then building into systematic people investigations and onto cross-platform disinformation analysis.
ABOUT THIS BUNDLE
This bundle combines four courses into a structured learning path.
Starting with the OSINT Primer, you'll learn the intelligence cycle, search techniques, and evidence capture. Then you'll learn to assess and manage your own attribution risk. From there, you'll develop systematic approaches to investigating individuals across social media and open sources. Finally, you'll finish by building the capability to detect, collect, and analyse disinformation operations across platforms.
Together, these four courses cover 200 lessons and approximately 11 hours of video content.
The bundle includes the following courses:
-
OSINT Primer
CourseGain core OSINT skills in this introductory course covering the intelligence cycle and practical search tools including search engines, archives, reverse image searching and basic email searches.
$249
-
Attribution: Digital Footprint Assessment
CourseLearn how your digital footprint is exposed and how targets can trace your activity. This course teaches practical OPSEC and a simple attribution assessment process you can apply to real online investigations.
$249
-
Investigating Individuals: Social Media & Open Sources
CourseDevelop a systematic approach to investigating individuals across social media and open sources. Learn to pivot from limited information to comprehensive profiles while maintaining operational security.
$499
-
Disinformation: Detecting, Collecting and Analysing
CourseLearn to detect, collect, and analyse disinformation using OSINT techniques. Identify bot networks, evaluate inauthentic content, and investigate cross-platform influence campaigns using scraping tools, structured analysis, and data visualisation.

ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE
The bundle takes approximately 23 to 30 hours to complete across all four courses. All courses are entirely self-paced, so you can work through them over a few intensive days or spread them across several weeks to suit your schedule.
WHO THIS BUNDLE IS FOR
This bundle is for analysts, investigators, journalists, law enforcement officers, and security professionals who need to investigate influence operations and coordinated inauthentic behaviour. No prior OSINT experience is required - the course sequence builds you up from foundational skills to that capability.
PREREQUISITES
None. The bundle is designed to be taken in sequence, with the foundational courses providing the foundation for the intermediate material. Basic computer literacy and familiarity with web browsers is assumed.
