What This Course Is About
Why It’s Different from the Essentials Course
Why It’s Different from the Essentials Course
This isn’t about “basic searching.” It’s about learning how to really operate inside China’s internet like an insider — with the methods, tools, and mindset professionals use.
You’ll learn how to:
- Break through geo-blocks, real-name systems, and platform restrictions.
- Get +86 accounts in multiple ways (3 tested methods, not just one) Note: We include here one method that is completely technical and independent [new].
- Work inside Weibo, WeChat, QQ, Baidu and more — even the closed and hidden spaces.
- Use SOCMINT, GEOINT, IMINT, OSINT tradecraft in a Chinese context.
- Follow real actors across platforms, pivoting from one clue to uncover entire networks.

Why It’s Different from the Essentials Course
Essentials gives you the basics: language, searching, geo-bypass, and simple case studies.
- Advanced takes it to the professional level:
- 50+ hands-on exercises — real drills (real people, companies, data), not theory.
- Numerous bypass methods (accounts, geo, tech restrictions).
- Threat ecosystem mapping — cybercrime groups, ransomware chatter, leaks.
- Deep-dive multi-platform pivots — from Weibo to QQ to underground forums.
- 50+ hands-on exercises — real drills (real people, companies, data), not theory.
This is the level where you don’t just search — you discover what others can’t even see.

China OSINT in Action: Quick Glimpse
China’s internet isn’t just censored — it’s layered with restrictions. From apps limiting downloads and installs, to GEO-based blocks that defeat most VPNs, and captchas that Westerns can't solve.
One unique restriction? Platforms like CSDN that block full content unless you’re logged in (using a +86).
In this video, we show you exactly how to bypass that — and access the full content without needing an account. Step by step.
In this brief 12 minute sneak peek with you so you can get a good idea of how detailed and comprehensive our new updated October 2024 video lessons are, these are called 'investigative sessions' where you get an inside view into the step by step, how we explore, how we search, how we find information and pivot from it in China's complex ecosystem. How do we search or go from incorrect searching to the right one in Chinese as a Western investigator, to not waste time, be accurate ...
In this video, we demonstrate—live—how to bypass platforms like QCC.com and Tianyancha, China’s leading corporate intelligence sites. These sites often block access using DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) or geo-restrictions, making simple tools like VPNs useless. We show you exactly how to get around those blocks effectively.
In the course, we teach you at least four unique access methods (and more in development)— including techniques rarely used by OSINT professionals. Why? Because these methods are adapted directly from advanced penetration testing practices, giving you solutions that go far beyond traditional open-source workflows.
In this video, we demonstrate how to convert any image hosted on Weibo servers into a user ID (UID) — effectively identifying the person who posted it. In our SOCMINT section, we also deep dive into full QQ, WeChat OSINT — covering everything from bypassing restrictions and creating accounts to gaining access and conducting effective investigations.
