Mastering OSINT On China Course

This module lays the foundation for doing OSINT On China and China-focused OSINT by explaining how the Chinese internet differs from the West and why standard tools often fail. You'll learn how censorship, real-name policies, and access restrictions shape the landscape, what mistakes to avoid, and how to adapt your mindset and methods for effective investigations. It’s a practical introduction to thinking, searching, and operating smarter in China’s controlled online environment. 

This module teaches how to effectively work with Chinese-language content in OSINT investigations, searching China even without knowing the language. You’ll learn how to search smarter, spot mis-translations, understand slang and hidden meanings, and investigate names and people accurately. It covers key communication styles, tools to bypass language and access barriers, and how to avoid common mistakes that derail Western analysts. 

This module gives you a hands-on introduction to key China OSINT disciplines—OSINT, GEOINT, IMINT, SOCMINT, and corporate intelligence. You’ll learn how to search hidden Chinese platforms, use tailored tools and plugins. Through real case studies, OSINT On China labs, and step-by-step guidance, you'll build the skills to extract actionable intelligence from China’s online ecosystem—independently and long-term. 

This module focuses on advanced access techniques for Chinese platforms. You'll learn how to get a real +86 number, register accounts, and bypass blocks without using VPNs or flagged tools. It covers how to think and operate like a local, searching China, spot weak points in China’s internet controls, and apply manual, field-tested methods. Real-world examples and OPSEC strategies show how to stay low-profile while expanding access for long-term investigations.

This module dives into China-specific cyber threat intelligence. You’ll learn how to map threat actors, monitor dark and deep web spaces, and track leaks and hacking activity. It covers safe engagement using avatars, vHUMINT techniques, and how to build credible profiles for deeper access. Searching China and doing OSINT On China like a pro!

In every section, you get real-life examples, detailed case studies, and hands-on exercises. You'll see how the techniques taught throughout the course are applied in actual investigations—tracking actors, accessing hidden platforms, and extracting intelligence. Each case study breaks down the tools, methods, and decisions used. Practical exercises let you apply what you’ve learned in simulated scenarios, building the confidence and skill to operate independently in real-world OSINT on China investigations in this Advanced OSINT On China Course.
