 p\n\n   SpeakerBio:Zhouhan Chen\n   Zhouhan Chen received his Ph.D. in Dat
 a Science from NYU. He wrote his\n   Ph.D. thesis with a focus on how misi
 nformation spreads across\n   multiple platforms. He currently building tw
 o projects with his Ph.D.\n   advisors: Information Tracer ([2]https://inf
 ormationtracer.com/)\, a\n   platform to detect (mis)disinformation across
  social media platforms\,\n   and Malware Discoverer ([3]https://zhouhanc.
 github.io/malware-discoverer/)\,\n   a proactive system to discover malici
 ous URL redirection campaigns.\n   His systems are used by researchers\, j
 ournalists and security\n   analysts.\n\n   Description:\n   The quality o
 f online information is deteriorating. Misinformation\n   operations and b
 ot accounts all contribute to the worsening\n   environment. To address th
 ose challenges\, researchers need real-time\n   data and actionable intell
 igence to trace information spread and to\n   identify suspicious spread p
 atterns.\n\n   This session introduces Information Tracer\, a service to p
 rovide\n   fine-grained intelligence about how online information spreads 
 to\n   journalists\, researchers and developers.\n\n   Information Tracer 
 consists of three components. The first components\n   collects public pos
 ts containing a particular URL\, hashtag or keyword\n   over five platform
 s—Twitter\, Facebook\, YouTube\, Reddit\, Gab. The\n   second components
  turns heterogeneous raw data into explainable\n   metrics that describe h
 ow information spreads. The last component\n   shares our intelligence via
  either web interface or API endpoints. End\n   users can set up their own
  collection pipelines and thresholds for\n   metrics to surface potentiall
 y coordinated misinformation attacks.\n\n   In this session\, we will walk
  through our system architecture\, and\n   demo how to trace a URL related
  to recent Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp\n   lawsuit. We will examine how the
  URL is shared on different platforms\,\n   and decide if the spread is or
 ganic or not.\n\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consolidated_page.
