The citizens' images, you know, were taken and sent to the offender.

Basically, it was like the offender had their folks into the individual.

That's one of the things that makes criminal investigative analysis work,

that people's behaviors, leak out information about them,

and actually create situations in which they're actually taking more risks than they actually think.

The bread and butter for evidence recovery of law enforcement is the ability to track

an image, an email, a text, back to its sender, and Tor is specifically designed to defeat that ability.

Hello and welcome to Best Case, Worst Case. This is your host, Jim Climetti, with my co-host,

Francy Hakes. How you doing, Francy? Hi, Jim. How are you? Good. Well, today we have a mutual

friend of ours on Nick Savage. How you doing, Nick? I'm doing well. It's good to talk with

both of you. That's great. Well, Nick, tell us where you work and how long and what kind of cases

you work. So I've been with the FBI now. Almost 18 years been in law enforcement for over 24.

I'm currently assigned to the Washington Field Office, but the majority of my experience has been

within cyber, which has kind of encompassed a lot of different things to include the early days.

When all things related to children fell under cyber all the way through cybercrim, cyber

national security, and now I do a lot of work related to the forensic side of the house.

And before you were with the FBI, what did you do? I was a copper with the City of Pittsburgh,

so I was a police officer in the city for about six and a half years. That's great. You know,

I lived in Pittsburgh for about six months. I did a short stint. Well, while I was in law school

and in the family court system out there. I'm certainly a little biased, but I think it's the best

sitting in the world. Well, actually that year that I was there, and I think it was 1983 or four,

Pittsburgh was named the best city to live in in the United States of America.
