Fraudsters, whether acting alone or as part of an organized, global crime ring, are using every means available to perpetrate and orchestrate large scale schemes against corporations and governments. Open source intelligence (OSINT) can be used to identify assets and information to piece together the traditionally opaque network of people involved in fraud schemes. OSINT sources such as leaked databases, corporate registries, social media, and geolocation are all crucial components in tying together the convoluted web of disparate data points that make up fraud. This webinar will focus on how to utilize OSINT as part of fraud investigations. We will show how to identify relevant sources and methods to access disparate data sources and piece them together to build comprehensive investigations.

Early identification and recovery of digital evidence are critical for an investigation, and the amount and types of technical evidence have grown exponentially. This webinar will discuss digital “footprints” that can help you during your investigations, no matter your technical background. We will discuss victim-based, suspect-based, and location-based ways of finding evidence to include innovative ways of seeing a crime scene through different technologies. Remember, even though your suspect's device did not "connect" to anything, it likely did leave a trail on the victim's device, nearby routers, or may have been collected by tech companies. This webinar is designed for investigators, prosecutors, crime analysts, or those who generally investigate crimes. No high-tech background is needed! Though it is recommended, you do not need to attend part 1 to attend part 2. 

Part 2 will cover topics related to: 
• Cellular technology and information 
• Geofences

Today’s law enforcement agencies are facing a financial crimes epidemic. Millions of consumers are victims of credit card fraud and ID theft each year resulting in the loss of billions. Human traffickers, fuel thieves, and drug dealers are laundering money using prepaid cards, cash applications, and other digital currencies. The magnitude of the problem is overwhelming and when coupled with the effort involved to work those cases, many agencies choose to let them pass. They don’t understand the problem, let alone how to analyze these cases and prosecute the individuals who perpetrated the crime. Agencies have been slow to make progress, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us to hear ERAD’s Chief Operating Officer, Steve Beckerman, provide insights on the latest trends in payment card, cash app, and digital currency money laundering and important interdiction techniques to help you better apprehend, prosecute, and convict more criminals.

But it can also be used by an insider to breach a firewall or Internet filter and is a gateway to what is commonly called the Darknet. While Tor is the most common anonymity network, it is definitely not the only one. And, while Tor Hidden Service servers are the most well-known portion of the Darknet, there are other areas accessible through other networks. You can exchange Child Sexual Abuse Material, discuss criminal tradecraft, buy and sell illicit drugs, find stolen personal identifying information, and negotiate with those offering hacking as-a-service on Dark Markets and in Darknet Vendor Shops.

This webinar is not intended to make attendees experts, but rather to demystify the topic. It includes case studies and a discussion of specific investigative techniques. The webinar will give investigators and analysts the foundation that they need to understand these tools and communities, both how they are exploited by criminals and how they can be used by investigators and analysts.

Our increasingly busy and ever-changing lives cause a lot of stress. Stress is mental tension caused by demanding, taxing, or burdensome circumstances. Stress doesn't just affect our mental state and mood; it affects our physical health as well. That is why it is so important to practice stress management to keep our minds and bodies healthy. Stress management consists of making changes to your life if you are in a constant stressful situation, preventing stress by practicing self-care and relaxation, and managing your response to stressful situations when they do occur. 

This presentation will delve into discussions, tools, and techniques proven to help manage the stress in your everyday lives.

Criminal investigators and analysts need to understand how it is possible for people to conceal and obfuscate their identity and location on the Internet. Two primary methods are through the use of proxies and virtual private networks (VPNs). This ability to hide one’s identity and location on the Internet can be both a challenge and an opportunity. Various methods of concealing identity and location, while engaged in activities on the Internet, provide an opportunity for investigators to engage in covert online research while also providing a means for criminals to engage in surreptitious communication in furtherance of nefarious activities. As technologies, such as digital device fingerprinting, emerge as ways to attribute identity this becomes a topic about which every investigator and analyst must become familiar. This webinar will include an overview of how the web was designed and functions.

A basic overview of IP fingerprinting, browser/software fingerprinting, and device fingerprinting will set the stage for a deeper dive into proxies and VPNs—two of the most common methods used both by criminals and criminal investigators to conceal their identities and locations while engaging in online social networking and online communication.

The dark web has the star quality and luster of a Hollywood movie, but in reality, it’s a den of inequity operated by the technically sophisticated. The more “Googleized” we’ve become as investigators and researchers, the less we understand what’s going on behind the scenes and how to operate in this nefarious world.

This webinar will examine the dark web, the channels used to institute private sales and exchanges, and criminal behavior. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the dark web—criminality, anonymity, counterfeit products, child pornography, and human trafficking; learn the directory structures of the dark web; and learn dark web languages like Tor and Tails and the lingo of this underworld. Training will include exploring dark web channels for content and finding the resources and specialized search engines for searching against dark web content. Field investigators will understand how to use Tor safely and effectively, while learning the vulnerabilities, and be able to conduct undercover online investigations on the dark web.

Mobile forensics has been a hot topic over the last few years. Apple is constantly strengthening its security measures with things like remote wiping, not allowing the passing of data through lightning cable, requests to enter a PIN after potentially suspicious actions, 6-digit PIN by default, etc., making digital investigations much more difficult. Android platform vendors performed similar steps to secure their devices.

There are, however, some breakthrough advances in the field of both Apple and Android device forensics, such as checkm8, unc0ver, and checkra1n jailbreaks, agent-based acquisition, chipset-specific Android acquisition, etc.

In this session, we will discuss the latest advances in iOS and Android acquisition, including remote acquisition, and speak about the proper process of analyzing acquired data.

Hundreds of incidents, shootings, workplace violence, other attacks are taking place across schools and communities every year. In response, schools and communities continue to invest their money, time, and efforts into more deterrents, like locks, metal detectors, cameras, etc., but what happens when attackers are undeterred like we’re seeing today? A different approach is needed to effectively collect and connect the dots before the attacks to prevent these undeterrable individuals from executing their plans.

That different approach means identifying the common gaps, silos, and disconnects that allow red flags and warning signs to go unanswered, disconnected, and sometimes unseen by the right people until it’s too late. This webinar will reveal not only what these common gaps, silos, and disconnects are but also share extensive research into incidents dating back to Columbine on why prevention failures continue to occur again and again even though more than enough red flags and warning signs existed.

The pains and costs of failed preventions are soaring and seemingly the number of “undeterrable” at-risk individuals are increasing as well. There is no better time than now to understand what’s possible and working for others right now.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) have joined together to develop a presentation specifically designed for law enforcement focused on cyber security and the roles our organizations play in helping to combat this ever-evolving problem. ICANN helps coordinates the names and numbers that are used as unique identifiers in the global Internet. It is tasked with helping make sure that the Domain Name System (DNS) remains stable, secure, and resilient. Carlos Alvarez, Director of Trust and Public Safety Engagement at ICANN, will provide an overview of security threats that target the DNS or that leverage it to attack others, and will share about anti-abuse efforts on the DNS and the domain name landscape that are relevant to law enforcement.

The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is a nonprofit, member-based organization that supports the operation and growth of the Internet. ARIN accomplishes this by carrying out its core service, which is the management and distribution of Internet number resources such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) within its defined service region: Canada, the United States, and many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands. Investigating fraud and abuse in the registry is of utmost importance accurately and reliably maintaining registration information is core to ARIN’s mission. Number resource fraud threatens community trust in the registry and reduces the value of the registry to those who rely on it for network operations.

Leslie Nobile, Senior Director of Trust and Public Safety at ARIN, will provide an overview of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) system and how it fits into the larger Internet ecosystem. She will discuss IP address fraud and abuse, RIR due diligence, tools that can help support law enforcement investigations, and RIR cooperation and collaboration with law enforcement.

Money laundering is an integral part of many, if not most, of crime and terror finance. From local crime and tax avoidance, to transnational networks, the source of money will be masked to conceal the source and at the same time serve to make the money usable in the legitimate worlds of business and finance. This requires the professionals involved to exercise expertise, business acumen, and power influence.

This webinar will walk through the basic elements of the money laundering process, describing the phases of money laundering, define money laundering, the element of a money laundering network, areas particularly vulnerable to money laundering, discuss case studies of different types of money laundering, and possible detection/identification of money laundering activities.

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is intended to protect consumers from fraud and deters the selling of unsafe and stolen vehicles. Vehicle information from state motor vehicle titling agencies, vehicle recyclers, junk and salvage yards, insurance carriers, and individuals is compiled into NMVTIS.  The Law Enforcement Access Tool (LEAT) is the method to which law enforcement can access NMVTIS information along with other vehicle records and history.

This training instructs law enforcement personnel how to maximize use of LEAT by demonstrating features of the tool and providing users with knowledge in searching, retrieving, and utilizing information found. This training will show how to operate all LEAT features, demonstrate how to successfully navigate search capabilities, and provide examples of how LEAT can disseminate information to build a well-rounded understanding of a vehicle’s history. This webinar will inform attendees on how this information can be used to expand an investigation and provide subsequent leads to enhance efforts for a successful case. Attendees will learn sources of vehicle history information contained within LEAT to enable them to locate specific facts and supporting evidence dependent upon their needs. This webinar is intended for law enforcement officers, vehicle crime investigators, crime analysts, and administrators of these offices and agencies.

Criminal, terror, and other types of illicit networks all need revenue streams to survive. This involves control of financial flows from the point of revenue generation through goal accomplishment. To some extent, many of these networks will engage in the international money movement processes maintained by financial institutions around the world in order to move the money in an efficient and secure manner.

This presentation will describe the legitimate processes used by illicit networks to move money through financial systems.

We will discuss:

• The role of the central banks and automated clearing houses, how they function and the information they maintain about transactions are valuable in an investigation 
• The "backbone of the financial network," SWIFT messaging
• Correspondent banking
• "The Travel Rule" and information sharing between banks involved in value transfer.

Just a mile away from the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office in Council Bluffs, Iowa, a woman is shot during a nighttime stroll in a public park.  It's the latest in a bizarre series of events, three years into a five-year missing persons investigation.  Closing the case will take years of work, dozens of search warrants, and two weeks of testimony.

This presentation will provide a case study of the investigation and prosecution of a no-body homicide.  Getting to the verdict took thousands of hours of digital forensics to help prove premeditation and tie the killer, who hid themselves using VPNs and proxies, to years of online impersonations of their victim.

James Doty, Sergeant Investigator, Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office
