Digital Infrastructure to support secure OSINT Investigations

About us

SockPuppet provides 'SockPuppets-as-a-Service,' a platform designed to simplify the creation and management of virtual personas for cybersecurity analysts, researchers, law enforcement, private investigators, and more. Our flagship product, Alias, enables users to deploy fully customized, segmented, and managed online identities in minutes, ensuring proper attribution and anonymity across investigations. Our platform helps streamline OSINT processes by offering dedicated virtual desktops, Android-powered virtual phones, SMS services, and mobile connectivity routed through real mobile networks. Whether you’re managing multiple investigations or conducting online research, SockPuppet gives you unparalleled control over your digital footprint. Alias includes advanced managed attribution features that allow investigators to customize and control every aspect of their digital personas, including IP addresses, device characteristics, and geographic locations. This ensures that sockpuppets remain indistinguishable from real users, reducing the risk of exposure or attribution. Additionally, we offer unique tools like ForensicOSINT for secure evidence capture, including crystal-clear screen captures and legally admissible reports. Our platform was built with the specific needs of social justice organizations, law enforcement, legal professionals, journalists, and corporate risk managers in mind. Join us in revolutionizing online investigations—one sockpuppet at a time.

  • OSMOSISCon starts in two days! May 31 – June 2. Bonita Springs, FL. The SockPuppet team will be there, at the booth, at the Welcome Reception, and at the Career Fair on Sunday at 2 PM. Whether you're looking for your next opportunity, building out your team, or just curious what's out there in the OSINT space, this is the room to be in. Come find us, we'd love to chat! And while you're at it, let's talk about how to make sure your investigations stay safe, scalable, and something your whole team can actually own, not just the one person who figured it out first. Drop a comment if you're coming. We'll make sure we find each other. See you in Bonita Springs!

  • If you’re an #OSINTer or work in the #SocialEngineering space, we’re assuming we’ll see you at the Layer 8 Conference Conference next week in Boston, June 5–6, 2026! If so, make sure to stop by our booth and learn how SockPuppet can help secure and scale your online investigations. Our research environments provide instant access to the parts of the internet that matter most to your investigations, without wasting time building manual sockpuppets or being pigeonholed as the only person in your organization who knows how to use these capabilities. We’ll also be hosting the CTF, and you can expect some interesting twists. Drop a comment below if you're attending, send us a DM, or reach out directly to schedule some time with our team! See you in Boston!

  • We're sponsoring the Welcome Reception at OSMOSISCon 2026, and we brought a drink! Ask the bartender for a SockPuppet Spritz. It's our way of saying hello before the sessions start, the hallway conversations go deep, and the conference moves too fast to catch everyone. The SockPuppet team will be there, the people who actually built this platform, from the ground up, because we lived the same operational problems you're solving every day. Find us at the reception, ask for the Spritz, and come say hi! What's the worst that could happen, good drinks and good tradecraft talk?

    OSMOSISCon 2026 is coming, and we'll be there! May 31 – June 2. Bonita Springs, FL. Three days built for the practitioners who take their craft seriously. This year's theme is the OSINT Craftsman -> the skill, the discipline, and the creativity behind investigations that actually hold up. OSMOSIS has built something rare: a community where that level of conversation is the standard, not the exception. This conference is where it all comes together in person. Going to OSMOSISCon? So are we! Let's make sure we actually meet, drop a comment below.

  • Do you still rely on your super sock? If so, it might be time to come talk to us. https://sockpuppet.io

    Do you still rely on your super sock? Every team has one. The one sock puppet account that's been running for five years+. Every investigation. Every platform. Every case. It's survived policy changes, platform purges, and more close calls than anyone wants to admit. And somehow the whole operation still depends on it. One identity supporting an entire investigative operation is not a strategy. It's a liability. When that account gets burned, and eventually it will, everything stops. Investigators need to be rotating identities. Retiring accounts before they become overexposed and cross-contaminated. Scaling operations across multiple personas instead of leaning on one that's long overdue for decommission. The super sock isn't a success story. It's a warning sign. https://sockpuppet.io

  • In Q1 2026, the rules of digital evasion have completely shifted. Is your infrastructure keeping up? This month, we declassified exactly how target networks are evolving their detection capabilities. Adversaries are no longer relying on simple IP blacklists. They are actively attacking connections, scanning hardware fingerprints in milliseconds, and tracking the behavioral biometrics of your cursor. Relying on legacy tradecraft for a modern OSINT investigation is a guaranteed way to burn your identity and your mission. We consolidated the most critical operational intelligence from March into a single Field Manual debrief. Swipe through to review the key tactical shifts you need to implement, from dynamic defense to kernel-level isolation. Ensure your environment is mission-ready for April.

  • In digital investigations, there is no such thing as being "mostly anonymous". You either have complete, hardware-level isolation, or you are exposed. It is a binary state. Many analysts operate under the dangerous assumption that doing some OPSEC is better than doing none. They mask their IP, clear their cache, and use an incognito window, assuming it makes them "hard enough" to track. But modern detection methods only need a single microscopic leak to unravel months of operational work. A 99% secure environment with one WebRTC leak, a single canvas fingerprint mismatch means your true digital footprint has been captured. 99% OPSEC is 0% OPSEC. At SockPuppet, we don't build tools for "partial" privacy. Alias was engineered to provide total, binary separation between the analyst and the target environment. Stop settling for incomplete cover. Operate with absolute isolation: https://hubs.la/Q045qmBC0 #OSINT #CyberSecurity #DigitalTradecraft #InfoSec #SockPuppet
