Product Description
Product Description
From the Back Cover
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. The solution: Real Digital Forensics. In this book, a team of world-class computer forensics experts walks you through six detailed, highly realistic investigations and provides a DVD with all the data you need to follow along and practice.
From binary memory dumps to log files, this DVD's intrusion data was generated by attacking live systems using the same tools and methods real-world attackers use. The evidence 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.
Inside, you will find in-depth information on the following areas:
Responding to live incidents in both Windows and Unix environments
Determining whether an attack has actually occurred
Assembling a toolkit you can take to the scene of a computer-related crime
Analyzing volatile data, nonvolatile data, and files of unknown origin
Safely performing and documenting forensic duplications
Collecting and analyzing network-based evidence in Windows and Unix environments
Reconstructing Web browsing, e-mail activity, and Windows Registry changes
Tracing domain name ownership and the source of e-mails
Duplicating and analyzing the contents of PDAs and flash memory devices
The accompanying DVD contains several gigabytes of compressed data generated from actual intrusions. This data mirrors what analysts might find in real investigations and allows the reader to learn about forensic investigations in a realisticsetting.

The topics are covered with reference to example data held on the DVD that accompanies this book. This gives the reader the oportunity to try out the skills and techniques outlined in the book. This is a hands on exercise in digital forensics with simulated real world data for you to get your teeth into and a great introductory text for anyone with an interest in this area.
the book is well written and well laid out but i cant help feeling this is a beginners book.
Or i am being naive and think there more to it and there is not.
it has all the basics and is a good first step.
in my eyes the book is aimed at a strange level. its just above hobbyist and round about system admin.
but what it does have is the basics and after reading you will feel that's so obvious why didn't i think of that.
whats its not it a self study guide with challenges or tutorials.
And its not a university sort of theory heavy book.
Its almost a light coffee brake sort of book.
it tells you enough to get the job done in a sort of way. after reading this i would give a stab at it if i was the last resort but by no means promote myself saying i have read it.
its a bit like a whistle stop tour, shows you everything briefly, dosent show the steps in detail and dosent give you the mind set.
although there is a disk provided with software and mock data. but its pointless and there just because they can. also there is no explanation of the software and how to set it up to be used. i was lucky to get my hands on some software in university that is mentioned in the book. i decided to try something described in the book. but i couldn't reproduce the results they got.
but after all that its not a bad book just not what i think a lot of people would expect.
its more a my first guide to wet your appetite
The book is written in stages so that it is easy to read and understand. The applications are covered in basic detail but have enough written to understand their limitations. An added bonus is that the book has a DVD with live data that you can look at.
