    Webinar – Youth Homelessness and Juvenile Justice: Supporting Youth Across Systems

    Nationally, an estimated 78 percent of young people who have experienced homelessness report that they have also had at least one interaction with law enforcement, while 44 percent have spent time in a jail or detention facility. Participants will learn about ways that communities can better support young people who find themselves at the intersections of youth homelessness and juvenile justice to ensure that youth do not have unnecessary contact with the juvenile justice system and that if they do come in contact with the justice system, that they exit to safe, stable, and secure housing.

    Webinar - Checkm8 & CheckRa1n: New Tools for iOS Extractions

    If anything about mobile forensics could be considered buzzworthy in the past year, it would be the release of the Checkm8 Boot ROM exploit created by axi0mX in October. Allowing critical access to 11 generations of iPhones and iDevices, Checkm8 is a new opportunity to access data previously locked behind a secure wall. But beyond the hype, what data can you actually access using this newfound exploit, and what do you do once you've extracted data using Checkm8? In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits, challenges, and usefulness of Checkm8 and Checkra1n to mobile forensic examiners and investigators. We will also explore how examiners can use Checkra1n to gain access to devices and what that access means in practical terms for investigations.

    Expert Q&A: Innovative Practices for Family Justice Centers

    Family Justice Centers provide a “one-stop shop” for victims of family violence (intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse). These co-located, multidisciplinary service centers reduce the number of places a victim must go to receive services following the crime. Services include, but are not limited to, assistance with protective orders, legal services, medical, counseling, safety planning, and more. This session will allow the audience to inquire about innovative practices within the Family Justice Center model.

    Collecting Evidence from Online Social Media: Building a Cyber-OSINT Toolbox

    There is a rapid evolution in the technologies people use to communicate and share material with each other, in the companies providing the sharing platforms, and in how people choose to communicate with each other. People are increasingly choosing to communicate using text, images, and videos rather than traditional electronic voice communications. And they increasingly choose to use platforms that make this communication openly available for others to view. This means that evidence associated with not just metadata but also content of communications can often be collected through open sources long after the communication is completed. While evidence of criminality and victimization can be recovered through open source investigative techniques, many of the commercial tools marketed to criminal investigators and analysts are expensive. This sometimes places them outside the reach of police departments, and social media companies are increasingly blocking API connections for commercial tools that allow the tools to be used for "surveillance." Therefore, it is increasingly important for criminal investigators and analysts to build an inexpensive cyber-OSINT toolbox. This webinar will discuss the rapidly evolving ecosystem of online social media and how people are changing how they choose to communicate. It will then detail and demonstrate free and inexpensive cyber-OSINT tools that criminal investigators and analysts can use to start building a cyber-OSINT toolbox.
