This course introduces several useful Instagram OSINT tools and, even better, manual methods for collecting much of the same data. It's pretty light in terms of general OSINT process, but great if you already have some experience, are new to Instagram, and want to learn how to collect deeper intel from the platform. I took a handful of new tricks away from the course.
