Why you need this course

As OSINT analysts, we often need to go beyond the surface data rendered in our browsers. Whether identifying a JavaScript function disabling your ability to right-click or locating stored images and videos, Web Developer Tools offers these capabilities and more.

Built into your favorite browser, Web Developer Tools is a powerful yet often overlooked resource for OSINT analysts. This course will demonstrate how to use this tool to uncover new opportunities, decode complex web pages, and access hidden data, enhancing your investigative skills.

Spend an hour with Micah Hoffman, diving into what's behind the visible web page using your browser's built-in developer tools. High resolution profile images, hidden profile data, alt text, media filenames, source information and so much more can be hidden just below the surface of a page, and in this course Micah takes you from accessing to understanding and beyond.  

Key learning objectives:

  • Understanding what Web Developer Tools (WDT) are.
  • Understanding how to access and customize WDT.
  • Understanding how to use WDT to view specific pieces of a web page's source code.
  • Understanding how to use WDT to reveal what web page resources are loaded from what sources.
  • Understanding how to use WDT to customize how your browser "looks" to web sites.
