Open Source: Tracking Down a Most-Wanted Criminal via Instagram
What is “chronolocation” and why do we need it? How do we research deceiving Instagrams? What is wrong with Google reverse image search? What is the hidden connection between Instagram and Facebook?
How can you track down a fugitive criminal with Instagram and a little help from Facebook and Google, when the police want to know who the convict contacted and where he is right now? This session will answer all these questions and more. This is the first public session ever about the case that made headlines in The Netherlands this spring.
