Python for OSINT. 21 day course for beginners
And now for the most important news of the month. When my Twitter account gained 25,000 followers, I released a course of 21 lessons on how to automate various OSINT tasks using Python.
The course is for the total beginners (if you don't know how to find the command line yet, it's good for you too)
This course is pretty basic (if you want to be a Python expert you need to do something more serious)
A PDF book and code sample files are available in this repository:

You can take the course for free, but if you wish, you can support me with a donation to speed up the next OSINT course.

I hope to send you another letter in 2-3 weeks.
