Most people think they know how to search online, but what if 95 percent of valuable information is hidden in plain sight? This course shows you exactly how to uncover that hidden layer using powerful Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques used by top recruiters, marketers, investigators, and journalists worldwide. You will learn to find people, verify identities, uncover contact details, and access deep layers of online data. No technical background required, just a willingness to search smarter than 95 percent of the population.
