Agree. MOO there might be some modest activity by BK there to find, maybe something big about a phone number, but MOO this is a super physical crime with some precautions, but with also some impulsive just do it energy.There are no twitch (grub trucks streaming platform of choice) warrants yet. Doesn’t mean we won’t see one. But considering it was one of the first publicly known and shared pieces of evidence…there’s probably no warrant because LE doesn’t think there’s anything there.
So if we pretend that Twitch did contain viewer information pertinent to the case then BKs devices are only one half of the equation. As whatever device he is using would need to communicate with Twitch’s computers (servers). and there are only a few ways to obscure the metadata left behind by those interactions and none of them are fully secure. Twitch likely has the IP address of everyone who’s watched the grub truck stream around the time the murders were committed. Anonymous or not. They track all of this stuff because of the constant “swatting” and spam their streamers face.
and Twitch is on the “clearnet”. Not the “dark web”. Not Tor. so staying anonymous is pretty much impossible with todays software/hardware/behaviorial fingerprinting tools.
So did BK use a coffee shop? A neighbors internet? Because he had to use something that gave off an IP address….
Contrary to popular belief VPNs do little to nothing to protect you and your identity. Just look at how Facebook was able to block all VPN users in the UK from using threads. So even though they are using an IP from another country…Facebook knows that it’s a VPN and knows where the user originates from. Countless crimes have been committed under the false sense of security that a VPN provides only for the person to be caught.
I think this is the last time I combat the BK is a technical genius thing. Because no one ever shares how he actually did it. It’s just that he did…somehow…using some unknown secretive method only privvy to him apparently. And I don’t think this perception is going to change no matter how much I try to share and demystify technology and “hacking”.
Driving around in circles around 1122 before the crime?
MOO he might have counted on the PA license plate being unreadable, maybe he made it unreadable by a spray made for that purpose, a pretty ubiquitous car and geo fencimg that only extended about 5 miles around Moscow.
I wonder if they retrieved the old license plate to get a look at it.
