One Investigation, One Attribution Profile.
SockPuppet gives investigators a consistent, location-aligned operational environment across virtual desktops, phones, SMS numbers, and regional connectivity. Each investigative environment is fully isolated from the investigator’s personal and organizational systems, eliminating the attribution and OPSEC risks of using analysts’ own devices or general-purpose cloud tooling.
A consistent technical environment requires more than IP routing
The Complete Attribution Stack
Alias is the only platform designed to align the technical components of an investigative environment — not just what’s visible in a browser window, but everything behind it:
Real Devices, Not Simulations
Operate from real desktops and phones, not browser containers. Run native applications, store cookies, and interact naturally across web and app ecosystems. Each investigative environment is built on real operating systems, real devices, and real connectivity — so analysts can use standard tools without compatibility issues. Enjoy full persistence so that every time you open your virtual laptop or phone, it looks exactly like it did the last time you used it.
Consistent Connectivity and Location
Each environment connects through authentic mobile or residential networks that match your investigative environment’s IP, GPS, and carrier identity. All signals — OS language, timezone, location, and network latency align seamlessly for true behavioral operational consistency.
Voice, SMS & Application Integration
Get the complete mobile communication stack — SMS, messaging apps, and video conferencing. Support approved communication workflows, receive authorized OTP/2FA messages, and communicate across app-based or phone-based channels all within your investigative environment.
Camera & Microphone Passthrough
Safely use video conferencing, live chat, or recording tools inside Alias without exposing your hardware or local IP. Our out-of-band passthrough layer lets your investigative environment maintain human-consistent behavior during voice or video interactions while preserving total operational separation.
Unified, Stable Attribution
All components — device, network, GPS, OS, and identity are tightly integrated and synchronized. Every signal is consistent across the environment, so the investigator’s work holds together end-to-end.
Why Purpose-Built Infrastructure Matters
Traditional managed attribution solutions were built for passive browsing — not for the full range of investigative operations today’s analysts run. They lack real devices, SMS numbers, native app access, support for multiple device types, persistence, cameras, microphones, and consistent connectivity.
Alias unifies all of these components, allowing analysts to operate from a consistent, isolated investigative environment across every channel — without stitching together VPNs, proxies, and ad-hoc devices.
