Course Description:
“PRIVACY IS DEAD - GET OVER IT...AND USE IT”
AKA
“Computer Aided Investigation”
This will be a wide-ranging lecture covering databases, privacy,
and ”computer-aided investigation.” The final half-hour of the talk
will be a Q&A session.
This talk will include numerous examples of investigative online
resources and databases, and will include an in-depth demonstration
of an actual online investigation done on a volunteer subject. (The
subject is Rick Dakan, a noted author.) There will also be numerous
real-time examples of searches and data.
(NOTE:
if a convention attendee would like to volunteer for an online
investigation, please advise.)
(From CNN: “...Rambam dug up -- in just over four hours of
searching private and public databases -- more than 500 pages worth
of data on Rick Dakan, who was attending the conference and had
agreed to participate in the project. ‘All I had given him was my
e-mail and name,’ Dakan said. ‘He knew everywhere I'd lived,
every car I had driven, and even someone else in Alabama who was
using my Social Security number since 1983. He found all my friends,
pictures of friends, knew about my brother's criminal history....’)”
Emphasis will be placed on discussing the “digital footprints” that
we all leave in our daily lives, and how it is now possible for
an investigator (or government Agent) to determine a person's likes
and dislikes, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation,
habits, hobbies, friends, family, finances, health and even the
person's actual physical whereabouts, solely by the use of
online data and related activity. Numerous emerging technologies and
high-tech subjects will be covered.
