Disclaimer:

This course is tailored for individuals with existing OSINT skills who want or need to acquire advanced capabilities specifically designed for the Chinese OSINT ecosystem. It assumes no prior knowledge of the Chinese language or related nuances.
 

Please note that this course does not aim to teach the Chinese language. Instead, it focuses on enhancing your OSINT and information-gathering abilities within the context of China's ecosystem. You will gain advanced skills essential for OSINT analysis, uniquely suited to the barriers and challenges of the Chinese landscape.
 

Throughout the course, all content and resources provided are exclusively centered on Chinese domestic sources of information, which are often not accessible to Western audiences or to say even more, hidden from Western eyes. Western tools are only introduced if they serve a specific research purpose (e.g., BurpSuite).
 

By the end of this course, you will possess advanced expertise, resources, and skills exclusively tailored to navigating China's unique OSINT landscape, making it the most advanced course available in the market.
 

Update: Our current course offering no longer includes a 6-month access to new editions of the resource book. Only 4-month. After that subscription ends, you have the option to purchase this separately as part of a Premium Subscription Package after enrolling in this course.

Because the reference book is updated more frequently than the video lessons, it will contain more fresh and updated information, whilst the video lessons are updated when we see fit.

We are working on updated improved quality/content/sound video lessons, we will be releasing them part by part once made available. Students that register get existing video lessons as well as new ones once these are made available.

Some of the solutions and methods presented in our course for obtaining access to accounts, mobile +86, and bypassing access of Chinese resources and socials are not all "OSINT" in nature. Meaning that these methods require other means, some are paid solutions, commercial tools, and time.

"UPDATES" DELIVERY FORMAT UPDATE:

We have altered our distribution methodology so that any updates you receive from us will now be in a single publication dedicated just to new data. This is easier for us to create and easier for you to browse through, as opposed to scrolling through an entire complete book to discover the new changes.

Before getting this course ensure you have the following preferred infrastructure:
1. Burner Mobile Device (Separate smartphone mobile device for OPSEC purposes) that will be used heavily during research, investigations, communications, any OSINT work within China. Preferably Android OS of ZTE / Xiaomi model.

2. Preferred OS is any Linux distro, if you don't have that then a regular PC/MBP with a standalone VM or remote AWS instance where you can initiate any research from with OPSEC in mind. - Device with different (virtual) hardware charactaristics than your real one.

This is not a must to have that kind of infrastructure, it is only recommended, to keep your real identity away from your China OSINT activities.

Required to know before:
1. You'll need a newly created Gmail address with no connection to your real identity (e.g.,created via VPN/other service in specific timezone & specific characaristics).

 

2. You may be required to download APK files to your mobile device, since this may be part of a solution presented in specific parts of the course. APK files are from third-party and highly likely not OPSEC friendly.
 

3. Some strategies described in the course to achieve certain goals of access or bypass may or may not necessitate the purchase of third-party tools, apps, or software that are not available for purchase using any common currencies or Western-availability payment methods. For example, (USDT,Alipay).
