The Internet, and how suspects leave a Digital Footprint. How the system works for us, as investigators
How it works, for us. Why it works, for us. How data traffic leaves a permanent trace. How and why everything that was on the internet, is still there. Identifying the structural data and exploits, that will take you to your suspect. Tracking and evaluating data. MAC tracking. If you’ve ever said “it’s been deleted” or “its no longer there”, this seminar is for you. Let me prove you wrong.

Open-Source Tools, PART 1. Resources, tradecraft and techniques – Before you use the tools you need to know the tools that enable you to be safe and how to hide……. PART 2 on Thursday.
"Just google it" is great for tickets, tyres, holidays and opening hours. But as an investigator, we can do better, and safer. Using most main stream search engines and browsers come with certain risks. This session aims to change that. A look at good tradecraft, practice and methodology in profiling, tracking and tracing digital footprints and shadows on the internet, by means of best available tools. Tools that the target can’t see . Do's and do nots. Best tools for best results. When was the last time you 'googled' something in an investigation, and it returned 5 results, all specifically relating to your suspect? This session will teach you how to fast track you to the data you need, and cut away the chaff. PART 2 on the final day with free tools to download and keep

Network Architecture Evolution from 2G to 3G, 3G to 4G, 4G to 5G regarding radio technology (TDMA, CDMA, OFDM and MIMO), network core from CSFB to VoLTE and SS7 to Diameter.
Encryption, Target Identification and Location: SIM and eSIM cards, IMSI and Target ID, encryption algorithms (A3, A5, A8 and Ki) and basically how user authentication and traffic encryption is accomplished.
Target Location Tracking with CDR analysis, MAC address farming, MITM attacks, SS7 access, IMSI catchers and IT intrusion.
4G to 5G Transition Specifics Understanding 5G Non Stand Alone (NSA) vs. SA 5G, the IMSI catcher issue (myth vs. realities), 5G Cryptography (ECC, SUPI, SUCI), 5G target location enhancement and LTE/NR Internetworking and Co-existance.
5G Spectrum What can 5G deliver with mid vs. high frequency spectrum and what new spectrum bands are soon to be auctioned off
SA 5G Infrastructure Features: NFV, SDN, Edge/Cloud Computing and Network Slicing

Understanding AI and LEA Use Cases
Matthew Lucas (Ph.D., Computer Science, VP, TeleStrategies
The presentation provides a primer on AI technologies - what are the specific types of AI systems; how are they used in industry today; the strengths and weaknesses of AI; and how ISS vendors are leveraging AI to increase agent efficiency and results in network data, OSINT, application profiling, location and image/language processing. Specific topics include:
- Overview of AI, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) systems technology.
- What AI capabilities are helping law enforcement and national security agencies (e.g., image / natural language processing, unstructured data analytics, predictive analytics).
- How AI is powering OSINT analytics, mobile signal intercept, location, signaling intelligence, audio-visual forensics, encryption and surveillance products.
- Criminal uses of AI, such as clutter, scams, fake news.
- Future directions: generative AI, chipsets and AI-driven devices.
Seminar #6
11:30-12:15
Generative AI: Use-cases and Implementation Considerations for Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies
Matthew Lucas (Ph.D., Computer Science, VP, TeleStrategies
Generative AI (GAI) has potential to completely revolutionize network data and OSINT analytics - potentially allowing investigators to effortlessly engage, analyze, visualize large datasets and “connect the dots” that would traditionally require enormous manual effort from teams of analysts and IT personnel. GAI is also one of those technologies that is particularly difficult to implement because of the inherent nature of machine learning systems and complexity of integrating GAI technology into operational environments. This session will cover the key operational issues related to GAI platforms.
- Dealing with hallucinations, bias and accuracy
- Securing and protecting sensitive investigation information
- Prompt engineering optimized for evidence and intelligence
- End-user natural language interfaces
- Retrieval augmentation and dataset integration challenges
- Training and tuning models
- Limitations, case studies and examples
- Expected technology advancements
