Explore an exclusive DEFCON 32 talk where Bryan Hance, co-founder of BikeIndex.org, reveals his investigation into the world's largest black-market bike fence. Learn how this OSINT-driven, cross-border operation exposed a multi-million-dollar stolen bike network between the U.S. and Mexico, ultimately leading to law enforcement raids and federal prosecution in 2024. Discover the techniques used to infiltrate these criminal networks, including digital surveillance and social engineering methods that helped track high-end stolen bikes being trafficked internationally. The presentation features real-world OSINT case studies, interactive "Spot the OSINT Fail" challenges, and detailed insights into how a community of bike hunters is fighting back against organized bike theft. This 44-minute talk from Recon Village at DEFCON 32 provides a comprehensive, unredacted look at digital investigations and cybercrime in an unexpected context.
