Participants will gain critical experience in Cold Storage and the proper transfer of cryptocurrency from a suspect’s wallet to an agency owned wallet during the execution of a search warrant.

Working with different devices participants will learn how to efficiently use the 25 most common hardware wallets, utilize, crack, recover and update different versions of firmware for a variety of hardware wallets, and restore wallets from corrupted devices such as desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Participants will be accomplished in creating a blockchain, developing their own Tokens, running a node and creating smart contracts all on their own.

Law enforcement, intelligence analysts, and investigators will gain experience in establishing an agency wallet, identifying evidence of cryptocurrency on devices using the advanced search and forensic techniques, identifying paper wallets, finding hidden or obscure cold storage hiding places and discovering hidden Mnemonic BIP39 seeds. After that, participants will go through a rigorous program of exercises and practice the proper seizure, transfer, and storage of cryptocurrency funds.

Participants will know how to secure storage of cryptocurrency to prevent, avoid bad seized cryptocurrency transfers, and recover from a bad seized currency transfer if that happens.
