REAL DIGITAL FORENSICS - COMPUTER SECURITY AND INCIDENT RESPONSE

You can't succeed in the field of computer forensics without hands-on practice--and you can't get hands-on practice without real forensic data. In 'Real Digital Forensics' , a team of world-class computer forensics experts walk you through five detailed, highly realistic investigations and provide a DVD-ROM with all the data you need to follow along and practice. From binary memory dumps to log files, this DVD-ROM's intrusion data was generated by attacking live systems using the same tools and methods real-world attackers use. It was then captured and analyzed using the same tools the authors employ in their own investigations. This book relies heavily on open source tools, so you can perform virtually every task without investing in any commercial software. You'll investigate environments ranging from financial institutions to software companies and crimes ranging from intellectual property theft to SEC violations. As you move step by step through each investigation, you'll discover practical techniques for overcoming the challenges forensics professionals face most often.
