A compact, practical guide to Open Source Intelligence — everything you need to run your first investigation, packed into a single ebook. No filler. No certificate. Just the skills.
Most OSINT training is bloated. Hours of video, modules you'll never finish, exercises that feel like homework. The Primer cuts through that. It's a PDF you read in a day, packed with techniques you apply immediately. No login portal. No drip-fed content. Buy it, download it, use it.
Think of it as the notes you'd take if you shadowed a working OSINT investigator for two days. The tools they actually use. The search patterns they reach for without thinking. The mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them.
How investigators think. What you're actually looking for. The difference between searching and investigating — and why most beginners never make the switch.
A cheatsheet of operators, engines, and queries that get results. Stop guessing at Google. Start knowing what to type to get what you need.
Finding someone online from one data point. Cross-referencing identities across platforms. Reverse image search that actually works.
State business registries, property records, court dockets, voter registration. What each one gives you, when to use it, and how to cross-reference them into a profile.
Burner accounts, VPNs, sandbox environments, and the operational habits that keep you clean while investigating. The chapter that saves your career before it starts.
Passive DNS, domain reconnaissance, IOC lookups. The threat intelligence toolkit in one chapter — enough to map adversary infrastructure on your first investigation.
You want to move into digital investigation or threat intelligence but have no OSINT experience. The Primer gives you the vocabulary and techniques to talk competently in interviews — fast.
Your degree didn't teach OSINT. The Primer fills the gap for a fraction of what a course costs. Bring it to your first job interview and you'll know more than most applicants.
You work adjacent to investigation — compliance, legal, audit, risk — and want to understand what OSINT can do. The Primer gets you there without committing to a full course.
The Primer is the same material we teach in week one of LeviaOSINT Foundations. It's been tested by career changers who used it to land roles at financial institutions across the US.
