One Investigation, One Attribution Profile.

SockPuppet gives investigators a consistent, location-aligned operational environment across virtual desktops, phones, SMS numbers, and regional connectivity. Each investigative environment is fully isolated from the investigator’s personal and organizational systems, eliminating the attribution and OPSEC risks of using analysts’ own devices or general-purpose cloud tooling.

The Complete Attribution Stack

Alias is the only platform designed to align the technical components of an investigative environment — not just what’s visible in a browser window, but everything behind it:

Real Devices, Not Simulations

Operate from real desktops and phones, not browser containers. Run native applications, store cookies, and interact naturally across web and app ecosystems. Each investigative environment is built on real operating systems, real devices, and real connectivity — so analysts can use standard tools without compatibility issues. Enjoy full persistence so that every time you open your virtual laptop or phone, it looks exactly like it did the last time you used it.

Consistent Connectivity and Location

Each environment connects through authentic mobile or residential networks that match your investigative environment’s IP, GPS, and carrier identity. All signals — OS language, timezone, location, and network latency align seamlessly for true behavioral operational consistency.

Voice, SMS & Application Integration

Get the complete mobile communication stack — SMS, messaging apps, and video conferencing. Support approved communication workflows, receive authorized OTP/2FA messages, and communicate across app-based or phone-based channels all within your investigative environment.

Camera & Microphone Passthrough

Safely use video conferencing, live chat, or recording tools inside Alias without exposing your hardware or local IP. Our out-of-band passthrough layer lets your investigative environment maintain human-consistent behavior during voice or video interactions while preserving total operational separation.

Unified, Stable Attribution

All components — device, network, GPS, OS, and identity are tightly integrated and synchronized. Every signal is consistent across the environment, so the investigator’s work holds together end-to-end.

Why Purpose-Built Infrastructure Matters

Traditional managed attribution solutions were built for passive browsing — not for the full range of investigative operations today’s analysts run. They lack real devices, SMS numbers, native app access, support for multiple device types, persistence, cameras, microphones, and consistent connectivity.

Alias unifies all of these components, allowing analysts to operate from a consistent, isolated investigative environment across every channel — without stitching together VPNs, proxies, and ad-hoc devices.

Manage Attribution Precisely with Alias

Complete Control Over Your Digital Fingerprint

The only way to fully manage your digital fingerprint is to have complete control over all these factors. Alias empowers you with the tools to do just that. By allowing you to precisely configure region, device, operating system, browser, language, and network settings for consistent technical attribution—Alias ensures that your research environments remain fully isolated from the investigator’s identity and organization.

Time and Cost Efficiency

Our platform’s deployment wizard simplifies the process of managing these factors, saving you both time and money. With just a few clicks, you can select and customize all the critical elements of your research environment, ensuring that each investigative environment is properly segmented and secure. This streamlined approach not only enhances your operational security but also reduces the overhead associated with managing multiple investigative environments.
