Diary of a Private Investigator

Accessing people’s digital footprints, using the dark web & staying morally grounded

Hello and welcome to yet another episode of Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations. This week, I’m joined by Aaron Barnes-Wilding of Barnveil. Based in Liverpool, Aaron is my ‘tech guy’, the person I turn to if I need information, data or any kind of digital support when it comes this kind of thing. We discuss the important of ensuring that the information we access is done so morally and with the right intentions. People don’t realise just how much information and data they leave when using the internet, from your phone contract to your spending habits, from your social media accounts to your search history and that’s just the very tip of the iceberg. We also touch upon the dark web, how it’s accessed, what can be found and the grey areas we have to navigate when hunting for data that has been leaked across the platform. Aaron can find out what a stalker, fraudster or journalist has on file about you, he’s helped me with multiple cases and he’s an expert within his field. I’m certain that you’ll find some incredible insights from this episode.

AI in private investigation, pricing and listener FAQs

Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations. This month, we'll be discussing everything from how AI will affect the private investigation industry, answering some listener questions and of course, moan of the month is back! AI is obviously continuing to grow at an incredible pace, I've been pondering the implications or use cases within the world of private investigation, from AI generated evidence in imagery and video to tools and softwares that may have a beneficial impact. One of the incidents recently, is that concerning Grok. The AI tool that allows users to create imagery and other content. The latest, is that it's been used to create nude photos of people that are fully clothed in the source material without their consent. Worrying. I also talk about my pricing structure and hourly rate, something that isn't spoken about too much in this industry but transparency is absolutely key so stay tuned to hear all about how I operate and how I charge.
