Voyager: Tracking with a Click

Attribution, the ability to match events on the Internet to actors who caused them, is a difficult problem in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. The Internet was not designed to track behavior of users [1]; instead, it is a common open platform that is propitious to anonymity. Different actors take advantage of this anonymity, and if they break the law, it is up to law enforcement to track them, i.e., to attribute actions to actors in way that would stand up in court. In this paper we present a tool, called Voyager, based on the idea of a tracking pixel, which can help investigators with attribution.
