OSINT Training Scenarios
Playa del Crimen is an educational project designed to teach OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), threat intelligence, and sociotechnical security through immersive, narrative-driven training scenarios. This is not your typical cybersecurity course. Here, you will learn to think like a threat actor, understand the human element of security, and build better defenses by exploring realistic, fictional case studies.
Our philosophy is simple: the best way to learn defense is to understand offense. Each scenario is a deep dive into the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real-world threat actors, presented in a safe and ethical educational environment.
- The Intelligence Analyst's Mindset: How to approach complex problems with a structured, analytical, and creative mindset.
- Sociotechnical Risk: How to identify and mitigate risks that arise from the interaction between people, processes, and technology.
- OSINT Techniques: How to gather and analyze publicly available information to build a comprehensive intelligence picture.
- Social Engineering: How to recognize and defend against the psychological manipulation tactics used by attackers.
- Threat Modeling: How to anticipate and prepare for potential threats to your organization.

We believe that learning should be engaging, memorable, and effective. That's why we've adopted a unique "Beach Noir" aesthetic, combining the seriousness of intelligence work with the style and atmosphere of a Caribbean thriller. Each scenario is a story, and you are the protagonist.
To get started, dive into our first scenario: La Estrella del Terror.
