I’ve been to multiple social media/open source investigation classes before and usually learn the same thing (which isn’t necessarily bad). However, Nick provided some new tools that will become useful for investigations.

Course was straight to the point, super informative, jam packed with information. Nick provided a ton of information in a small course along with a large amount of resources that I'm now going to be able to put to use finding suspects and persons of interest out on the street.

I thought my knowledge of social media investigations was pretty good. This course took it to another level. I was really impressed with the use of all the tools brought up in the course and how viewing the social media accounts on a browser and not just a cell phone can be so beneficial.

Hands down the best OSINT course I’ve attended. I have a combined total of 10 years as an analyst between law enforcement and military and this is the first training that I’ve attended where I feel like I’ve learned something new.
