2-Day Workshop · 30–31 Jul 2026 · Amara Singapore
The internet holds vast publicly available intelligence — but harvesting it ethically, legally, and reliably requires skill. This two-day OSINT workshop gives you the techniques, tools, and tradecraft to find what others cannot, without compromising your identity or your evidence.
What Past Participants Say
"The trainer was clearly very knowledgeable and went through all the materials in great detail. She is also very patient answering our questions."
"Thank you for your effort in answering all our questions and finding many examples for your demo, and investigation tools & techniques."
"The organizer has listened to our queries pre-course and I appreciate the effort put in the slides — content and case studies were comprehensive."
"Very practical and immediately applicable. I came in with limited knowledge of OSINT and left with a clear framework I can use on real investigations."
Why This Matters
Open-source intelligence is the discipline of finding, verifying, and preserving publicly available information — but without proper tradecraft, investigators expose themselves, compromise evidence, and collect misinformation.
The internet holds almost limitless publicly available intelligence. Without structured OSINT techniques, investigators struggle to locate what they need, waste time on dead ends, and have no reliable way to distinguish verified fact from planted misinformation.
Searching without anonymity leaves digital footprints that alert subjects, compromise ongoing investigations, and in some cases expose the investigator to legal liability. Untrained practitioners unknowingly create risks that undermine the entire operation.
Collecting information is only half the challenge. Without proper protocols for capturing, preserving, and documenting digital evidence — including chain of custody considerations — OSINT findings may be inadmissible or easily challenged in legal proceedings.
About This Workshop
Spycraft Basic is a two-day cutting-edge workshop designed to equip investigators, compliance professionals, and intelligence practitioners with open-source intelligence skills and tools to seek information on people and organisations on the internet.
Led by a top cybersecurity expert with collaborative experience with INTERPOL & EUROPOL, the programme moves from tradecraft fundamentals through live OSINT tools to advanced techniques — including the Dark Web, network infrastructure analysis, and court-ready evidence preservation.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for investigators, compliance officers, intelligence analysts, and security professionals who need to collect and verify online information as part of their work — and who understand that untrained OSINT carries real risk.
No prior experience in cybersecurity or open-source intelligence is required. Participants need only an internet-enabled laptop.
Key Take-aways
Each take-away is a practised skill — not a concept to remember, but an ability you can apply to real investigations the moment you return to your desk.
A structured approach to open-source intelligence — using search engines, social networks, cached pages, and specialist OSINT tools — to locate information on people, organisations, and their digital footprints that standard searches miss entirely.
The tradecraft to protect your identity online during investigations — avoiding exposure, understanding Singapore's legal framework for online intelligence collection, and navigating privacy legislation without inadvertently creating liability for yourself or your agency.
The methods to assess collected information for reliability, capture web-based evidence in a forensically sound manner, and preserve OSINT findings as digital evidence that meets the requirements for legal proceedings.
The intelligence-building technique to assemble a comprehensive subject profile — bio, education, location, social connections, financial activity, and network infrastructure — from publicly available sources, enriched with contact details and behavioural patterns.
Programme Outline
The programme moves from anonymity principles and OSINT fundamentals through live intelligence tasks, culminating in a full digital profile of a subject — built from open sources and preserved as court-ready evidence.

Good to Know
Our programme is not SkillsFuture-funded. Here is why that works in your favour.
What You'll Gain
After two days, you will have practised every skill — not just observed it demonstrated. Each learning outcome maps directly to investigative capability you can apply immediately.
Apply a structured, legally sound approach to online intelligence collection — understanding Singapore's privacy legislation, evidence rules, and the boundaries of ethical OSINT practice.
Locate information on people and organisations using advanced search techniques, open-source tools, social media intelligence, cached and archived content — and verify what you find.
Operate with anonymity across the surface internet, social networks, and the DarkWeb — avoiding exposure, protecting operational security, and preventing subjects from detecting your inquiry.
Enrich subject contact details — tracing email addresses to their source, linking usernames across platforms, and identifying payment details and financial footprints from open sources.
Capture and preserve web-based evidence in a forensically sound manner, maintaining chain of custody and meeting the standards required for digital evidence to be used in investigations and proceedings.
Understand DarkWeb infrastructure, apply safe search techniques, and trace basic cryptocurrency transactions — extending your investigative reach beyond the surface internet.
