Title: "Through the Looking Glass: Protecting Yourself While Conducting Internet-Based Investigations"             

Description:  “Through the looking glass” is a metaphorical expression meaning: on the strange side, in the twilight zone, or in a strange, parallel world. While the internet can be considered a strange, parallel world, it can also be an informative, interesting, yet scary place when conducting different types of investigations. There are various technologies and methods that you can use to protect your identity and information while conducting internet-based investigations. This session will illustrate these technologies and methods to keep you safe when investigating online and you will also learn various OSINT methods to use during your own investigations.
