The web is a powerful tool for criminal investigators who use it to gather information about criminals, and learn about their activities, interests and motivations. However, online investigators need to take extra precautions to hide their identities, and protect themselves and their organizations from the criminals they are targeting. Many of the tools used today by investigators to anonymize their online identities can inadvertently reveal information about them, and tip their hands during a critical investigation. In this session, attendees will learn about the various tools you can use to browse the web anonymously, how to use them properly, and the pitfalls of each.
