Comprehensive, Automated Digital Personas for Seamless Investigations

Alias by SockPuppet offers a fully integrated, managed attribution platform designed to streamline the creation, management, and maintenance of virtual personas (Sockpuppets) for cybersecurity analysts and OSINT researchers. The platform simplifies the complex process of maintaining digital identities, ensuring they remain undetectable, authentic, and operational across multiple platforms.

Key Components of the Platform

Persistent Virtual Desktops

Each Alias instance includes an always-on cloud-based desktop, customizable to your investigative needs. With persistent storage and isolated environments, all activities remain separate and secure.

Virtual Phones

Equip your virtual personas with cloud-based virtual phones that match the regional characteristics of your choice. These phones allow for realistic and untraceable communication, enabling you to interact on platforms and apps that require phone verification, just like a real user.

Mobile Connectivity

Experience 5G or LTE mobile connectivity provided by local carriers in the specific geographic region you choose. Unlike standard VPNs or proxies, our platform connects your instances to the internet through mobile networks outside of the virtual device itself, making it indistinguishable from those of local consumers.

SMS Integration

Access region-specific SMS numbers tied to local mobile operators, ensuring that your Sockpuppet’s communication aligns with its geographical footprint. This feature is essential for setting up and maintaining accounts on social media and other platforms that require SMS verification, eliminating the need for disposable or burner phones.

Benefits of Using Alias

Strengthen Operational Security (OPSEC)

Protect your organization, investigators, and sources by ensuring that personas remain untraceable, unassociated, and safeguarded against external threats.

Enhance Persona Validity

Maintain credibility by ensuring each digital identity is consistent with real-world attributes like location, device, and household, reducing the risk of detection or blocking by online platforms.

Minimize Risks

Reduce the likelihood of being targeted or influenced by those under investigation, while avoiding bias and manipulation by online platforms through the use of unique, project-specific sockpuppets.

Save Time and Money

Achieve significant cost savings by replacing the traditional approach of deploying individual laptops and burner phones with Alias’s centralized platform, which offers a more efficient and scalable solution compared to managing physical devices or public cloud environments.

Seamless Integration with Your Workflow

Alias integrates with your existing tools and workflows, providing a seamless experience that enhances efficiency without disrupting your operations. Whether you need virtual desktops, mobile devices, or specialized connectivity, Alias has you covered.
