Dark web research and investigation training

Dark web research training at TechOps Academy teaches analysts to navigate hidden networks safely, identify the entities and content found there, and bring the results back into a reportable investigation without exposing themselves or their organization.

Start with the fundamentals

The one-day Dark Web Seminar provides a foundational and advanced understanding of the hidden areas of the internet and digital identity on the dark web. Attendees download Tor, conduct research, and navigate the dark web under instruction. It is open to all and runs online on a secure training platform.

Go deeper with CASO methodology

Dark Web Immersion is a five-day CASO specialty course. Researchers and analysts apply CASO methodology to the discovery and enumeration of entities on the dark web and practice the tools and methods that maintain privacy and security during online operations. Students leave with dark web research tradecraft they can use to uncover risks to themselves, their organization, or their assets.

Protected by signature reduction

Dark web investigation is only as safe as the investigator's footprint. The signature reduction courses pair naturally with this focus area for teams that work hidden networks routinely.
