Five Level Ultrascan

Five level ultrascans are used for the intelligence-gathering phase of all security-related work and to determine the relationships and real-world links

People, Groups of people (social networks)

Companies, Organizations

Web sites, Internet infrastructure such as Domains, DNS names, Netblocks, IP addresses, Email

Phone, Phrases, Affiliations, Documents, and files

But also hidden or confidential information can be revealed;

Family ties, Health status;

Financial networks, Foreign sales, Financial resources;

Media sources, Disgruntled employees, Imminent threats, Homeland plots, Tradecraft, Recruiting tactics.

Level one ultrascan

A general first wide search for the entities as given by the client, the outcome differs a lot depending on how common the names of entities are.

If the entity is named "john smith" the outcome will be a lot of information containing "john smith" - "john" and "smith"

When the entity is johnsmith@hotmail.com the outcome will be information containing or connected to johnsmith@hotmail.com

With a combination of entities, for example, johnsmith@hotmail.com, XYZ company, London, Cairo, Washington, phone, and green energy, the outcome will be information containing or connected to all entities and links between the entities.

Level two ultrascan

The outcome of the first level scan will value the newly found entities in relation to the given one, depending on the value new entities can be scanned for deeper connections to determine relationships with the originally given entity.

For example, documents with co-signatures, university records, photographs with location and time stamps, logins and passwords of (email) accounts, additional (email) addresses, company websites, Twitter accounts, can link to new entities that have connections with the given entities. Even though some entities are removed from the internet or data set, traces can still lead to new entities (evidence).

Level Three, four, and five include Humint and are focused on the desired results

The Panama Papers - Not all is what it seems

A growing number of individuals brought to our attention that they do not own companies, while documents obtained from the massive data leak from Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, allegedly show, they incorporated a company in known tax-havens e.g. the British Virgin Islands, Seychelles etc.. Even though they never visited any of the (representative) offices of Mossack Fonseca, nor did they authorize third parties to represent them.


Until today, investigations and interviewing the alleged owners established a trail of personal and corporate identity theft. Copies of real or fake passports and persons with similar family names were used to impersonate, implicate and perpetrate (ID theft) criminal activities.
