OSINT Hardening Workshop
RCCE students will learn open source intelligence collection, analysis, and operational security including social media intelligence, domain and infrastructure reconnaissance, dark web monitoring, and OSINT tool proficiency. RCCE students will learn to conduct OSINT investigations using publicly available data sources, perform people searches and social media analysis, enumerate organizational infrastructure through DNS, WHOIS, and certificate transparency logs, monitor paste sites and dark web forums for leaked credentials and threat actor activity, apply OSINT tradecraft while maintaining operational security, and produce actionable OSINT reports. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
