What privacy resources are available on IntelTechniques?

Updated

IntelTechniques, Michael Bazzell's site, treats privacy as one of its two core subjects alongside OSINT (open source intelligence). The main privacy resource is the book Extreme Privacy, now in its 5th edition, which you can buy through the site's book store. Beyond that, the site points visitors to its Blog and Resources pages for guides and projects, and it sells print and digital books covering both OSINT and privacy.

The Extreme Privacy book

The homepage states that the latest (5th Edition) of Extreme Privacy is available, with a link for details and a "Buy the Book" option. This is the most concrete privacy offering described on the site.

  • Format: The book store offers both print and digital books.
  • Scope: The store covers OSINT and privacy titles together, so privacy books sit alongside the OSINT material rather than in a separate section.
  • Edition: The 5th edition is the current one referenced on the homepage.

Blog and Resources pages

The homepage recommends checking the Blog and Resources pages for "our latest projects and guides." These are the places to look for privacy-related guides beyond the books.

  • Blog: The full blog is at https://inteltechniques.com/blog/. A recent post covers updated OSINT scripts (https://inteltechniques.com/blog/posts/osint11scripts.html), which shows the blog carries technical, script-level content.
  • Resources: Listed as a top-level destination for guides and projects, though the homepage excerpt does not detail specific privacy guides hosted there.

Training and certification

The site offers Online Video Training, and participants can pursue the Open Source Intelligence Professional (OSIP) certification. The homepage frames this as OSINT-focused ("become a certified Open Source Intelligence Professional"), so treat it as OSINT training rather than a dedicated privacy course. The site also links to a Training FAQ and OSIP Details page.
