Sock puppets

What is a Sock puppet?

A fake identity online used to whenever a believable alias is needed for online activities. It is an entirely fictitious persona, with a fake name, face, and details. Sock Puppets are used by OSINT investigators, law enforcement, nation state actors, spy agencies, hackers, privacy advocates, journalists, penetration testers, and pretty much anyone wanting to be someone else. A Sock Puppet will have a name, phone number, email address, user accounts, social media profiles, credit cards, photos, etc. Most importantly, it will have a personality that shows where he or she works, their interests, where they went to school, who their friends and family are, etc. Building this into a profile helps to make the fake profile as a credible individual that interacts online.
