PI TECHNICAL LAB CATALOG // 6 INVESTIGATION AREAS

Six focused OSINT & cyber capabilities to augment your casework.

Each capability below can be subcontracted standalone or combined into a single Targeted OSINT Report depending on the leads in your assignment.

CAT_01 // OSINT_RESEARCHDeep-web footprinting & multi-source correlation

Expert OSINT Investigation Services

Deep-web research, digital footprinting, identity and entity research, and careful correlation of disparate public and commercial data points for active investigations.

When standard skip-tracing and database checks stall, our technical lab correlates usernames, email accounts, archived web content, domain registrations, and entity records to surface actionable digital leads that move your field assignment forward.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • What online accounts, domains, or archived web records connect to a subject’s known email, phone, or handle?
  • Are there hidden connections between seemingly separate corporate entities, websites, or online personas?
  • Which digital leads are corroborated across independent sources so fieldwork is not wasted on false positives?

Starting Leads / Indicators

Subject Names & AliasesUsernames & HandlesEmail Addresses & PhonesArchived Web Content
CAT_02 // PHISHING_DECONSTRUCTIONImpersonation infrastructure & campaign attribution

Phishing Analysis

Examine phishing messages, links, infrastructure, impersonation clues, and available technical indicators to clarify what happened and where to look next.

Private investigators are increasingly called into corporate impersonation, executive targeting, and wire-fraud cases. We act as your technical back-office—dissecting malicious links, lookalike domains, and sender infrastructure so you can deliver a thorough technical accounting to your client.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • How was the impersonation domain or phishing link configured to target your client?
  • Where is the underlying infrastructure hosted, and when was it registered and activated?
  • Does the attack infrastructure overlap with other domains, IP blocks, or prior campaigns?

Suspicious Lure URLsLookalike DomainsPhishing EmailsBrand Impersonation Clues
CAT_03 // HEADER_FORENSICSMessage transit tracing & spoofing verification

Email Header Analysis

Read routing data, authentication signals, timestamps, originating infrastructure, and other header evidence in context—not as isolated fields.

When your client receives anonymous threats, harassment, or suspected spoofed correspondence, the visible "From" line cannot be trusted. We analyze the full RFC-5322 message header to trace the transit route, verify cryptographic signatures, and isolate originating network indicators.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • Did this email genuinely originate from the sender’s domain, or was the address spoofed?
  • What originating IP address or mail relay injected the message into the transit path?
  • Do the server hop timestamps and timezone offsets reveal the sender’s client environment or schedule?

CAT_04 // CYBER_SUPPORTTechnical subcontracting for cyber & crypto leads

Cyber Investigation Support

Targeted research on domains, IPs, online accounts, infrastructure, and connected indicators for a cyber-enabled or digital-evidence matter.

Stop turning away complex cases involving online scams, social engineering, cryptocurrency theft, or rogue domains. We serve as your specialized technical subcontractor, handling the digital indicator analysis and blockchain/infrastructure tracing while you lead the investigation.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • How do a subject’s domains, IP addresses, and online accounts connect behind the scenes?
  • Where did stolen or disputed cryptocurrency funds move on-chain, and which exchange endpoints were reached?
  • Is a reported IP address a residential connection, a commercial VPN, a proxy, or mobile Carrier-Grade NAT?

Starting Leads / Indicators

Domains & SubdomainsIPv4 / IPv6 AddressesCryptocurrency WalletsOnline Scam Artifacts
CAT_05 // TECHNICAL_TRANSLATIONPlain-language lab translation for field investigators

Digital Forensics Demystified

Practical guidance that helps nontechnical teams understand what the digital evidence can show, what it cannot show, and the questions worth pursuing.

When an assignment involves unfamiliar technical reports, mobile extraction summaries, or file metadata, we translate complex digital artifacts into clear, plain English so you can advise your client accurately and focus fieldwork where it counts.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • What do the timestamps, EXIF/file metadata, or technical logs in this case actually mean?
  • Are the technical claims made by another party supported by the data, or are they overstated?
  • What is the most practical next step to verify or expand this digital lead?

Starting Leads / Indicators

Technical Reports & LogsFile & Photo MetadataDevice Extraction SummariesCase Timelines
CAT // CRYPTO_TRACINGBlockchain transaction tracing, wallet clustering, and exchange endpoint identification

Cryptocurrency & Asset Tracing

Dive into cryptocurrency wallets to extract transaction histories and connections. We track suspicious digital currency movements across public blockchains—mapping fund flows from initial theft or scam addresses to identifiable exchange deposit endpoints or service cash-out boundaries.

Private investigators frequently encounter subjects hiding assets in digital currency or clients defrauded in crypto-investment and romance scams. We trace on-chain transaction paths and deliver a clear visual and written accounting for your client report.

Questions This Service Helps PIs Answer

  • Where did the transferred cryptocurrency move after leaving the victim or subject wallet?
  • Do multiple wallet addresses cluster together as part of the same entity or scam operation?
  • Which regulated centralized exchange or service endpoint received the funds for potential subpoena or recovery follow-up?
  • How can we explain complex blockchain transaction hops clearly to the client?
