Presented at ArcticCon 2018, Oct. 4, 2018, 2 p.m. (60 minutes)

Whether performing an in-depth investigation or merely quick research, the investigator and the investigation itself is exposed to certain risks. This talk covers both sides of the coin. In the first part, it shows what what information is being leaked by the investigator in the course of their activity on the internet and techniques the adversary can use to fingerprint them. In the second part, the talk covers techniques which the investigator can use to minimize the disclosure of information and protect themselves.
