Thou shalt wirelessly intercept your neighbor: Leveraging WiFi and Bluetooth in operative
In this talk, we shall discuss various security mechanisms used in WiFi and Bluetooth networks and how to abuse them to obtain mission-critical intel. Apart from explaining all principles, we will demonstrate them (hopefully live) on our tactical device! Starting with an access point and client scans, we will continue with client targetted jamming and total Denial-of-Service of the whole network that may even result in authentication handshake capture. This handshake contains information to recover the WiFi password to access the targeted network. Once inside the network, we will show essential hacking tools to conduct IP-level reconnaissance. But we will not limit ourselves to WiFi and demonstrate how Bluetooth can be leveraged to notify you about a person's presence or exploit various IoT devices.

Mastering the password cracking
Users need to provide passwords when they are logging into the computer, starting their smartphone, accessing their favourite web service, opening protected files/disks, connecting to a network or pairing their wearable. Encryption is an inherent trait of digital presence, whether users realize it or not. We will speak about different approaches to password cracking, including dictionary, rule-based, brute-force, hybrid and association attacks. We will show benchmarks of how fast high-end GPU cards can recover passwords for various formats (e.g., Windows credentials, WPA2 handshakes, ZIP and RAR files, LUKS partitions, Android PINs, and iPhone Backups). We will answer what length or complexity of the password is enough to protect your data. Nevertheless, better than guessing the password is knowing the password! We will conclude our talk by demonstrating the applicability of personal information leaks with usernames, emails, phone numbers and passwords!

Smart Home and Mobile Devices: Investigative Techniques for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular Networks, and Law Enforcement Applications
Digital radio traces are becoming increasingly important in crime prevention and the investigation of criminal acts. While the interrogation of communication data via network operators is standard practice in mobile communications, capturing non-centralized radio traces like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, peer-to-peer (e.g., AirDrop), and sidelink communications (LTE-V/V2X) requires specialized approaches. These technologies enable swift and precise data collection at crime scenes, even for highly mobile devices that remain in one place only briefly. The presentation also introduces an advanced RF scanner designed to detect and localize hidden smart devices and Bluetooth signals. Capable of identifying Bluetooth beacons, paired and non-paired devices, and extremely weak signals in vehicles or containers, this tool is ideal for law enforcement, customs, border control, and military operations. Equipped with up to five Bluetooth sensors, high-sensitivity directional antennas, and robust signal amplifiers, it reliably detects devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, and tracking tags. Operated via a user-friendly tablet or smartphone interface, the scanner’s specialized software offers far greater accuracy and versatility than traditional smartphone apps.

The challenges of remote surveillance over insecure networks, and how to solve them
When doing remote audio/video surveillance, it is often handy to transport the data through the internet and on private networks. These networks should be considered insecure, and you also do not want their owners to know what you are transporting. In this session we will discuss how these issues can be handled using Covidence equipment.

5th Generation warfare is the ultimate warfare
5th Generation Warfare (5GW) is often considered a highly complex and evolving form of conflict. It's not necessarily about traditional battlefield confrontations but focuses more on influencing the cognitive domain. 5GW involves tactics like psychological operations, cyber warfare, misinformation, and the manipulation of social and political systems. The goal is to destabilize an opponent through non-traditional means without direct military engagement, making it difficult to identify and combat.
In 5GW, information becomes a primary weapon, and the battlefield expands into digital and ideological spaces. It incorporates elements of hybrid warfare, where state and non-state actors might engage in covert actions, including cyber-attacks, social media manipulation, and influencing public opinion to achieve strategic objectives.

Tactical Location Analytics: Accelerating Actionable Intelligence from Seized Devices
Field agents often seize multiple devices during missions, each containing critical forensic location data. Without the ability to quickly analyze this time-sensitive information on-site, valuable insights can be lost. For example, identifying the delivery location of a drug shipment before criminals realize their operation is compromised. This presentation discusses how tactical location solutions can empower agents with an efficient solution that runs on a single laptop, requires no internet connection, and features intuitive, drag-and-drop data ingestion. Learn how to transform seized data into real-time actionable intelligence, giving agents the edge to stay ahead.

"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?

Seminar #4
09:30-10:15Transitioning Lawful Interception Network Core Features from 4G to 5G SA to 6G: What's it Looking Like and Challenges Ahead
Presented by: Matthew Lucas (Ph.D, Computer Science), VP, TeleStrategiesCellular market analysts collectively have identified 5G services deployed in over 400 cities spread over 30 or so countries. The one common feature of all these operations is that they are providing 5G services with a 4G/5G hybrid network infrastructures or so called non-Stand Alone (NSA) architecture. This session addresses the trasition to 5G standalone.
In reality lawful interception of non-standalone is not any different from 4G interception regarding new LI feature additions. The next LI challenge will be for 5G SA. This webinar addresses the technical challenges facing law enforcement, 5G operators and ISS vendors. Specifically the four transitions are:
- 5G Network Challenges Identifiers: How are law enforcement going to grab 1gbps traffic streams; backhaul to monitoring centers and filter non-important traffic of interest.
- 5G Edge Cloud Computing: How do you intercept on a 5G operators IT systems, deal with proprietary system protocols, e2e encryption and localized content
- 5G Virtual Network Core: How complicated will this be regarding LI, VoIP on virtual devices and what LI barriers has the IETF created
- 5G Network Slicing: Is this 5G feature restricted to private enterprises or will 5G MVNO’s provide public mobile wireless services, How will law enforcement interconnect with 5G OSS provisioning systems and what is the LI point of interconnection?
Seminar #5
