Real, working capability

We drill the tradecraft until it's reflex: collect, pivot, verify, conclude — a live target taken start to finish, on your own. And when a method stops working, you build the next one.

Reach the closed sources

The part no one else teaches: getting past the registration, +86, language, and censorship walls that stop everyone else — and into the sources on the other side.

Proven where it counts

Trusted by government, defense, and intelligence across 40+ countries — and flagged by Chinese state channels as a threat. If the methods weren't real, no one would be watching.

Inside the training platform

Everything you need, in one platform.

Every training program lives on training.epcyber.com — structured lessons, hands-on labs, live field exercises, a working glossary, and full content. You practice the tradecraft, hands-on, in every lesson.

Zero theory. 100% practical.

Every method is tested on real targets, in real time — real entities, companies, and people. Collection, detection, searching, applied end to end in live investigations.

Hands-on labs

Apply a method against a real target and check your answer on the spot — the technique drilled until it's muscle memory.

Field exercises

Open-ended, live work on real accounts, entities, and companies. Pick your targets, run the method end to end, and see how far the trail goes.

Exams

Prove you can run an investigation start to finish — real people, real entities, real chains — with a certificate that means you can actually do it.

The outcome

Walk out able to do what most analysts never will.

The platforms, the language, the walls, the pivots — everything it takes to work China for real, taught until it's yours.

Why EPCYBER

We set the standard for China OSINT depth.

Anyone can claim China coverage. Almost no one gets flagged as a threat for it — or trusted by the teams that can't afford to be wrong. Here's what actually sets the training apart.

Adversary recognition
Adversary recognition

The adversary is watching.

The only China OSINT provider whose depth has been publicly called out by Chinese state-affiliated channels as a threat to the country's information environment. No other vendor in this market earned that. When the adversary is talking about your methods, you know they work.

Beyond OSINT
Beyond OSINT

Past the walls, into the sources.

We combine OSINT with penetration-testing tradecraft. Where training built by analysts and journalists stops at what's reachable, we teach how to get past the access walls — so you see sources in China most analysts never can. Access is the whole point.

Content relevancy
Content relevancy

Always the latest tradecraft.

Frameworks, methods, techniques, and search strategies are refreshed continuously, so you always work with current tradecraft — applied to real investigations, real entities, and complex chains. Latest refresh: May 2026.

Marketing transparency
Marketing transparency

See inside before you enroll.

We show results first. Redacted sneak-peeks from inside the content — slides, methods, techniques — so you can see exactly what's covered, how it's structured, and how it's taught before you ever commit.

Organizations whose teams have trained with EPCYBER
Global reputation

Trusted where it counts.

Relied on by governments, intelligence agencies, Fortune 500s, military, and the security teams of global firms to build China-focused OSINT capability — tailored to their mission, across 40+ countries.

Student feedback

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

Goes in depth
I thought the course was really good. I appreciate someone taking the time to look deeper into this topic, as China-oriented OSINT is hugely important today, and yet, there's little training or practicable information out there. I appreciated your focus on pragmatic methods.
OSINT Lead — Booz AllenUnited States
Very practical
I sincerely thank you for this amazing pedagogy that you show in China OSINT — very clear and exhaustive. The practical approach makes complex techniques accessible.
Military Defense OfficerEuropean Defense Agency · France
Unique methods
Your China OSINT course covers unique methods that I have not seen anywhere else before, especially bypassing QQ or other technical restrictions. Really impressed.
Intel Delivery ExpertJapan
Clear structure
The modular breakdown made it easy to follow even without a Mandarin background. I came in expecting to be lost by module three and instead found myself taking notes on things I could apply the same week.
Threat Intelligence AnalystUnited Kingdom
Fills a real gap
Most OSINT training treats China as a footnote. This treats it as the main subject, and the difference in depth is obvious immediately.
Senior Research Fellow — Policy InstituteAustralia
Immediately usable
I applied the Baidu and Tianyancha workflows to an active case within two days of finishing. The corporate registry section alone justified the time.
Due Diligence Manager — Private Investigations FirmSingapore
Excellent tradecraft
The operational security guidance was thoughtful and realistic rather than paranoid boilerplate. Clear about what the actual risks are and what they aren't.
Cyber Threat Analyst — National CERTNetherlands
Worth every hour
Dense, but never padded. Every module earned its runtime, and the walkthroughs are the kind of thing you rewatch with a notebook open.
OSINT Instructor — Defence AcademyCanada
Great instructor
Responsive to questions and genuinely knowledgeable about the platform quirks that trip people up. You can tell this comes from real casework, not a literature review.
Investigative Journalist — IndependentTaiwan
Highly recommended
I've taken several OSINT courses over the years and this is the first one focused on Chinese-language sources that didn't feel like a translated version of a Western methodology.
Geopolitical Risk Consultant — ConsultancyGermany
Practical and current
The screenshots and walkthroughs reflect how the platforms actually look today, which is rarer than it should be in this field.
Corporate Security Lead — Technology SectorSouth Korea
Strong fundamentals
Good balance between tooling and method. Tools change; the reasoning taught here will outlast them.
Analyst — Financial Intelligence UnitSwitzerland
Our mission

Close the skill gap. Build OSINT experts.

Most training in this space — especially China OSINT and the dark web — hands you information and calls it training. We build the actual skills professionals need to move up: real, industry-relevant tradecraft you can put to work in the field.

About the founder

A former Military Intelligence Officer from a Special Operations Division, Eva works at the intersection of OSINT, cyber threat intelligence, and collection across high-risk digital environments.

Over 15+ years she has trained and supported European defense contractors, US and NATO-aligned agencies, and intelligence teams operating in complex, sensitive regions. Her core expertise is China OSINT, dark-web intelligence, and advanced threat detection — and since early 2017, mapping and extracting intelligence from China's digital ecosystem, a focus that grew from personal interest into full-time practice.

An Oxford University Executive Leadership graduate (top honors), she earned her CISO certification at 22. Her background spans OSINT, IMINT, SOCMINT, GEOINT, CTI, and penetration testing across web, cloud, API, Docker, and IoT — with a focus on bridging intelligence gaps for European governments, financial institutions, and global organizations.
