> Learn open-source intelligence (OSINT) the way private investigators use it: 24 lessons, realistic fictional case files, a field kit of tools and your own casebook.

Osinty is an OSINT academy styled like a private eye's office. It teaches open-source intelligence the way private investigators use it: 24 lessons with quizzes in 8 modules, from mindset and law to search, people and records, SOCMINT, images and video, geolocation, companies and domains, and going pro.

Six interactive fictional case files are worked in a simulated search terminal, a private casebook has a corkboard, and a field kit lists gadgets and real tools. A code of conduct sits at the heart of it.
