Curriculum

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

To be clear: we will not teach you to find vulnerabilities in your target's systems, and not how to break in. This is about gently opening the curtain to see what is already there, available for you to see, that most don't — for intelligence and OSINT purposes.

Module 01
/ 05
Module 1

The Offensive-OSINT Mindset

Every analyst is trained inside the same box — the same frameworks, the same tools, the same idea of "how collection works." This module rewires that. You'll learn to approach open sources from a completely different angle, so entire layers of an ecosystem light up that conventional OSINT never even knew to look for — all while staying within the right boundaries. We teach it through China, the toughest ecosystem there is to work, but the mindset and methods apply to any ecosystem, anywhere.

Module 2

Finding Leaks & Exposures

How genuinely new leaked data actually surfaces — or where it's waiting for you to find it — not through basic, faulty scraping or keyword monitoring, but by merging structured OSINT with an offensive-security, creative mindset borrowed from red teaming and penetration testing. You'll learn to identify and analyze leaked data, pivot from misconfigured and exposed data, and understand how such data became visible in the first place — something no OSINT framework will ever teach.

Module 3

Tracing Files Across Unfamiliar Platforms

Finding a file is one thing; tracing it is another. This module covers unique sources, places, and spaces that no Western tool or framework finds — from domestic environments to overlooked endpoints. You'll learn to navigate ecosystems built on rules you weren't taught, and read them fluently — finding deeper intelligence, connections, networks, people, and companies.

Module 4

From One File to Full Exposure

The core skill: search, pivot, and uncover the hidden layers beneath a single point of data. You'll follow real investigations step by step and see exactly how one small piece — a single source — can open up far more than anyone expected, with the logic behind every decision along the way, so you walk away able to reproduce the reasoning, not just the result.

Module 5

Real Case Studies & Hands-On Exercises

Everything is practiced on real case studies, including live investigations and practice — broken down into the tools, methods, and decisions that made them work. Then you run the workflow yourself in hands-on labs and field exercises, until seeing what others miss becomes reflex rather than theory.

Why we built this

WHY THIS COURSE EXISTS

In 15+ years across this industry, we've watched the same pattern repeat: the frameworks taught to OSINT analysts train straightforward, linear thinking — step one, step two, collect, report. They don't teach creative thinking. They don't expand your horizons. They hand you a checklist and call it tradecraft.

Here's the uncomfortable part: everyone uses the same tools, takes the same courses, and repeats the same “methodologies” — so everyone looks in the same places, finds the same things, and misses the same things. If your process is identical to everyone else's, your results will be too.

This is how 95% of real intelligence is missed — not locked away in some vault, but sitting in plain sight, in the bits and bytes of the data, where no standard framework ever thinks to look. We built this course to teach you to see it.

Who it's for

WHO THIS TRAINING IS FOR

First and foremost, this is for OSINT analysts. But at the end of the day it is still OSINT — approached from a very different angle — so the same methods apply to almost anyone who works with intelligence: government, defense, and corporate teams included.

Penetration testers are welcome too. If you already think offensively and want to expand that mindset further into offensive OSINT, this opens a whole new surface to work.

And you don't need to be an expert to start. Years of penetration-testing experience aren't required — a basic understanding of the concepts is plenty, and some existing OSINT knowledge is nice to have but not necessary. This is genuinely for anyone ready to see more than the average analyst.

The outcome

WALK AWAY SEEING WHAT MOST ANALYSTS NEVER SEE

Practical real-life skills you'll walk away with — some examples

What you'll learn to find

REAL FINDINGS, REDACTED

These are examples — redacted, but real. Each one is a category of skill you walk away with: the frameworks and methodology to find this yourself, on real targets, once the training's done.

01

Valuable Data & Internal Access

You'll learn to surface data that was never meant to be public. Not by breaking in, but by understanding how these systems are built and configured — and where the misconfigurations hide that open the door to valuable intelligence, new leads, and the breakthroughs that move a real open-source investigation forward.

02

Bypassing Login Portals

Some of the richest data sits behind portals that only look locked — registration walls, login screens, captchas. To most open-source practitioners they really are locked, and that's where the trail ends. But dig a layer deeper, learn what to look for, and work through the frameworks we've developed in-house over the years, and the full records open up — no login attempts, nothing improper. It's a way of seeing anyone can learn, government teams included, and it hands you a fresh pair of eyes on every target: the data was always there, waiting for someone who knew how to walk through a door already open.

No +86 number, no access-bypass methods our other China trainings teach directly — here you'll often reach the same closed data through the offensive angle alone. A different way in, and one most analysts never think to try.

03

Connecting Cross-Platform Intelligence

This is the layer most OSINT never reaches. Beyond collecting data is the harder skill: connecting it. You'll learn to link accounts to people, people to companies, and scattered fragments across platforms into networks, relationships, and complete profiles — cross-platform attribution that turns a handful of signals into a name, and a name into the whole story behind it.

The difference

100% MANUAL TRADECRAFT

Everything you've just seen was found manually. No scanners, no automation, none of the off-the-shelf tooling that defines most offensive-security work. What others reach for a tool to do, we do with attention — a trained way of looking that no software can replicate. It's impossible to automate, which is exactly what makes it so valuable — and exactly why almost no one else can teach it.

Student feedback

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

This training is brand new, so these are from students of our other EPCYBER programs — the same instructor, the same tradecraft, the same standard.

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
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
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.

Questions

FAQ

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question, our team is available at team@epcyber.com

01How hands-on is it — do I work on real cases

Heavily, yes. This isn't slides you watch and forget. Every section is built around real-life examples, breakdowns of actual investigations, and exercises you run yourself — accessing real platforms, working real sources, and pivoting through real data the way you would on the job. You see the method demonstrated step by step, then you do it. The "investigative sessions" take you inside the screen: how we search, where we go wrong, how we correct, and how we get to the right result without wasting time. By the end you've practiced the workflow, not just seen it - and you know exactly how it is applied on real life subjects or entities.

02Is this legal and ethical

Yes. Everything taught here is educational and designed to be applied within normal, lawful investigative bounds. We don't teach you to break into anything — we retrain how you see, so you understand what is genuinely reachable through open sources once you stop looking through the same narrow frame as everyone else. The methods, techniques, and search strategies are about visibility and understanding, not intrusion.

03Live Support & Q&A Sessions

Throughout your enrollment you have direct access to support and scheduled live Q&A sessions. Bring questions from any module, work through challenges you're hitting in your own investigations, and get answers from the team directly — not a ticket queue. Master-tier students receive premium priority support.

04Will I get help if I'm stuck during an exercise

Of course. If you hit a wall partway through an exercise or investigation, you're not left on your own — you have direct access to the team for questions throughout your enrollment, plus live Q&A sessions where you can work through exactly where you're stuck. The whole point is that you come out able to do this independently, so we make sure you get there.

05Is this only useful for China

No. The training is built and taught through China's ecosystem — the hardest proving ground there is — but the frameworks, mindset, and methods apply to any ecosystem, anywhere. China is how we teach it; it isn't the limit of where you can use it. Once you learn to look at open sources this way, the same tradecraft carries straight over to whatever ecosystem you work next.

06Is there an exam

Yes. The EPCYBER Training Platform includes structured exam components built into this program. Your progression through the course and the automatic issuance of your certificate are tied to exam completion and required passing thresholds. Exams are not memorization-based. They are designed to validate that you can apply the methods, techniques, and frameworks taught in the course to realistic scenarios. Hands-on practice throughout the course remains the foundation — exams confirm the core knowledge along the way.

07What happens if I don't pass the exam

No pressure and no single shot — you have up to 10 retakes. The exam is there to confirm you've genuinely absorbed the tradecraft, not to trip you up, so if you don't pass the first time you simply review the material and try again. Most people who put the work in pass comfortably.

08What does the certificate represent

More than completion. Your EPCYBER certificate represents real, demonstrated capability — that you can work a foreign ecosystem from angles most people never see, find what conventional OSINT misses, and do it independently. It's confirmation that you've done the work and built the skills.

09Can my whole team enroll together

Yes. We offer group rates for teams, along with custom corporate bundles. Reach out at sales@epcyber.com with your team size and what you're after, and we'll put together the right arrangement for you.

10Which training is right for me

This course is built around one thing: the offensive-OSINT mindset. If that particular angle doesn't speak to you, that's completely fine — we run a whole range of OSINT trainings that are just as unique, and one of them will fit:
