Spycraft (Basic)

The Covert Art of Information Collection & Verification on the Internet

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.

Why This Matters

The Intelligence Is Out There.
Most People Don't Know How to Find It.

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.

Information You Can't Find — or Can't Trust

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.

Identity Exposure and Legal Risk

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.

Evidence That Won't Hold Up

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

Intelligence from the internet.
Collected properly. Used confidently.

SPYCRAFT (Basic) dives into the covert world of open-source intelligence, teaching participants how to uncover hidden identities, track online behaviour, connect seemingly unrelated information, and expose the networks that support criminal operations.

  • 01Hands-on throughout — every module involves OSINT tasks. You practise finding, verifying, and preserving information.
  • 02No pre-requisites required — the course starts from first principles. Bring a laptop that can connect to the internet.
  • 03Taught by a practitioner with real-world experience disrupting major cybersecurity attacks and scams.
  • 04Evidence-focused — you will learn not just how to collect intelligence, but how to preserve it.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who needs to investigate people or organisations online — and needs to do so legally, safely, and effectively

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.

What You'll Learn

Participants Will Learn To…

Every skill below is practised during the workshop. You leave with capabilities you can apply to real investigations the moment you return to your desk.

  • Trace digital footprints and locate information others cannot find
  • Verify online identities and distinguish fact from planted misinformation
  • Conduct structured OSINT searches across surface, social, and dark web sources
  • Operate anonymously without alerting subjects or leaving investigator footprints
  • Preserve publicly available evidence to a legally defensible standard
  • Enrich subject profiles — email, phone, username, financial and social connections
  • Reduce investigator exposure and legal risk throughout online operations
  • Map network infrastructure and link online entities through technical signals

Programme Outline

Eight Modules, Two Full Days

The programme moves from anonymity principles and OSINT fundamentals through intelligence tasks, culminating in a full digital profile of a subject — built from open sources.

Module 1Anonymity, Principles, and Infrastructure in DarkWeb, Messengers, Social Networks and Surface Internet.
Module 2OSINT Basics & Instruments: search engines, social networks, OSINT tools, social media, cached pages, etc.
Module 3Solving OSINT Tasks: geolocation, real identity, fraudulent activity of the suspect, etc.
Module 4Enriching Contact Details: emails, phone numbers, usernames, payment details.
Module 5Preserving OSINT Findings as Digital Evidence applicable in the court.
Module 6Building a Suspect's Digital Profile: bio, education, location, interests, close friends, etc.
Module 7Network Infrastructure Analysis: domain registrars, hosting providers, web hosting.
Module 8Basics of DarkWeb, search capabilities and cryptocurrency transactions.

Good to Know

How this programme differs from
SkillsFuture-funded courses

Our programme is not SkillsFuture-funded. Here is why that works in your favour.

Typical SkillsFuture-Funded Courses
Spycraft Basic
OSINT and cybersecurity content is often outdated by the time a course reaches accreditation — tools, platforms, and threat landscapes change faster than approval cycles.
Content reviewed and updated before every run to reflect current tools, platforms, and live OSINT techniques — not what was current two years ago.
Curricula typically focus on theory and tool awareness — rarely covering operational security, live evidence preservation, or the DarkWeb.
Built around operational output — anonymity tradecraft, live OSINT tasks, forensic evidence capture, and hands-on profile-building from real sources.
Generic exercises using illustrative examples, not real-world investigation scenarios relevant to government or corporate contexts.
All exercises use realistic investigation scenarios — subject tracing, fraud detection, network mapping, and evidence chain of custody.
Large cohort sizes limit hands-on practice time and reduce access to trainer guidance during exercises.
Small cohort. Direct, personalised guidance from a practitioner with INTERPOL and EUROPOL collaborative experience throughout both days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

No prior experience in cybersecurity or open-source intelligence is required. The course is built for working professionals who need to find and verify information online — not for technical specialists. It starts from first principles and builds systematically from anonymity fundamentals to advanced OSINT tasks.
Bring a laptop that can connect to the internet. Hotel WiFi is provided at Amara Singapore. No software installation is required in advance — you will be guided through tool setup during the course. If your agency restricts access to certain websites or tools on work devices, please contact us ahead of the session so we can advise on the best approach.
OSINT — when conducted correctly — operates entirely within the law. The course covers Singapore's legal and regulatory framework in detail, including PDPA considerations and the boundaries of lawful online intelligence collection. A significant portion of Day 1 is dedicated to ethical principles, operational security, and understanding exactly where the legal lines are. The goal is to make you a more effective investigator precisely because you understand and respect these boundaries.
The course teaches you how to collect and preserve evidence to a standard that can withstand legal scrutiny. Module 5 specifically covers chain of custody, forensic capture methods, and the common preservation errors that render digital evidence inadmissible. Whether your role requires evidence for internal disciplinary proceedings or formal legal action, you will leave with the protocols to do it correctly.

Absentee, no-show, or medical leave — the full fee is due.
Yes. In-house runs are available and can be customised to your agency's investigation types, internal compliance requirements, and specific threat scenarios. This is particularly effective for teams that conduct regular online investigations or due diligence work. Email info@maitreallianz.com or call +65 6100 0621 to discuss.
