Online Investigation Resources
This session identifies and demonstrates over 250 free online resources that can aid Investigators in solving both technical and non-technical crimes. Participants will be shown how to "dig" into the internet for personal information about any target. While popular sites such as MySpace and Facebook are covered in detail (including "backdoor hacks"), the presentation goes much deeper into the vast resources available online for researching personal information. Aside from web sites, other technologies such as digital camera data, Geo-location services, and live communication monitoring will be explained. These sources can also be used to conduct thorough background checks on potential employees. An article in Public Safety Magazine gives a small taste of how the information can be used: LINK
