Book Description:

Digital Forensics is a methodology which includes using various tools; techniques; and programming language. This book will get you started with digital forensics and then follow on to preparing investigation plan and preparing toolkit for investigation.

In this book you will explore new and promising forensic processes and tools based on 'disruptive technology' that offer experienced and budding practitioners the means to regain control of their caseloads. During the course of the book; you will get to know about the technical side of digital forensics and various tools that are needed to perform digital forensics. This book will begin with giving a quick insight into the nature of digital evidence; where it is located and how it can be recovered and forensically examined to assist investigators. This book will take you through a series of chapters that look at the nature and circumstances of digital forensic examinations and explains the processes of evidence recovery and preservation from a range of digital devices; including mobile phones; and other media. This book has a range of case studies and simulations will allow you to apply the knowledge of the theory gained to real-life situations.

By the end of this book you will have gained a sound insight into digital forensics and its key components.

What You Will Learn:

- Gain familiarity with a range of different digital devices and operating and application systems that store digital evidence.

- Appreciate and understand the function and capability of forensic processes and tools to locate and recover digital evidence.

- Develop an understanding of the critical importance of recovering digital evidence in pristine condition and ensuring its safe handling from seizure to tendering it in evidence in court.
