Seminar #1
9:35 AM - 5:00 PM Session A
Online Social Media and Internet Investigations
Presented by: Charles Cohen, Vice President at NW3C, the National White Collar Crime Center, Professor in Practice Criminal Justice, Indiana University and Retired Captain, Indiana State PoliceThis Seminar is open to all attendees but designed for practitioners who are actively collecting evidence and criminal intelligence, identifying unlawful online activity, and mitigating threats.
While Tor is the most common Darknet Service, it is 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 tools. The first two sessions will give practitioners the foundation that they need to understand these tools and communities—both how they function and how they are exploited by criminals.
Mobile devices collect, store, and transmit an ever-increasing amount of information that includes handset geolocation information collected from a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular trilateration, BLE beacons, and ultra-wideband sensors. The afternoon sessions will take a deep dive into information being collected by mobile handsets, operating system developers, and social media companies.

How AI Drives Proactive Insight Detection in Multi-Source Investigations
AI is becoming a powerful force multiplier for investigations, especially when it can analyze evidential data alongside external intelligence in a single platform. While intercept data remains essential, investigators are increasingly expected to contextualize it with fragmented sources like financial records, mobile forensics, OSINT, public data sources and more; this session showcases how multi-layered AI cuts through data complexity, featuring Sentry, an always-on detection and triage tool that proactively surfaces critical insights as they unfold. Capabilities will be demonstrated through a real-world case study surrounding financial fraud and vehicle theft, along with an overview of the AI development principles and security measures required to support them.

From Prompt to Breakthrough: Understanding Generative AI for High-Risk Investigations
Generative AI offers powerful new ways to interact with evidential and intelligence data, but not all GenAI is built for the demands of high-risk investigations. This technical deep dive explores how 4Sight’s investigative assistant, Iris, integrates GenAI responsibly and effectively, from its flexible, multi-agent architecture to its use of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic search, and agentic workflows; learn what’s happening behind the scenes and what’s required to deploy GenAI in a secure, fully on-premises environment. This session covers design considerations, testing and evaluation, and practical compliance with emerging AI regulations, plus a live demonstration of investigative AI in action.

AI in DFIR: The Good, The Bad, and The Dangerous
Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models are reshaping Digital Forensics and Incident Response. This talk explores the good — how AI accelerates analysis, malware triage, and reporting; the bad — risks of hallucinations, data privacy issues, and broken chain of custody; and the dangerous — automatization, heavy reliance on tech and how attackers themselves are weaponizing AI. Attendees will see real-world tools, practical use cases, and learn the precautions needed to harness AI responsibly without compromising trust, accuracy, or evidence integrity.
