OSINT & Cyberinvestigation

The day focused on conflicts (Ukraine, Africa) and disinformation, featuring analyses from Bellingcat, the BBC, and the FOX Project. Experts examined Russian influence in Europe and methods for circumventing censorship, particularly in China.

The sessions covered a broad technical spectrum: from geolocation to tracking fugitives (Forward Global), including IP address tracing and IP pivots (Micah Hoffman). The future of the field and the use of mapping were highlighted by organizations such as Predicta Lab and Osintracker.

Finally, the event explored a variety of fields, including tracing the provenance of works of art, investigative journalism, and the legal framework for OSINT. The day concluded with a forward-looking presentation by META, followed by a networking cocktail reception—the famous Apér’OSINT.
