Course overview
As darknet ecosystems continue to evolve, investigators must move beyond basic navigation and develop the capability to conduct structured, intelligence-led investigations across complex and interconnected platforms.
The Intermediate Darknet Investigations Course builds on foundational knowledge and focuses on deeper investigative techniques, cross-platform analysis, and enhanced operational tradecraft. Participants will explore how criminal activity spans forums, marketplaces, and encrypted communication platforms, and how to identify actionable intelligence within these environments.
Delivered over 2 intensive days, the course is highly practical and culminates in a Capture the Flag (CTF) exercise, enabling participants to apply advanced techniques in a realistic investigative scenario.
How this course differs
Intermediate Darknet Investigations moves beyond introductory practice into more structured and technical application. It is intended for learners who already understand the fundamentals and need to work with greater depth and independence.
