Trace Labs is a Not-For-Profit organization with the mission of crowdsourcing the collection of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to generate new leads on missing persons cases to assist law enforcement. The missing persons issue is worsening, requiring modern and scalable solutions at various levels to help mitigate risk to society. Using our in house built platform "Search Party", we enable the collection and processing of OSINT at scalable levels through our "OSINT Search Party" operations and events. These crowdsourced initiatives allow missing persons to receive the attention that is needed early in the search process.
All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting Trace Labs infrastructure and operating costs to enable us to continue crowdsourcing OSINT to assist law enforcement in locating missing persons. Judging will entail you working with our team to vet incoming OSINT submissions during the CTF in real time. As a judge, you will have a CTF team or teams assigned to you to validate their submissions.
