This book empowers you to become a digital detective, capable of uncovering data secrets, investigating networks, exploring volatile and non-volatile evidence, and understanding the intricacies of modern browsers and emails.
Digital forensics analysts may be called upon to investigate crimes committed using a computer or other digital device. It could include hacking, identity theft, data exfiltration, sabotage, etc.
For example, a financial institution suspects that an employee has been using a compromised credit card to make fraudulent purchases online. Digital forensics investigators would be called to examine the individual’s computer and other digital devices to determine how the credit card information was obtained. They would analyze the individual’s browsing history, email, and other electronic communications to look for any signs of phishing attempts or other social engineering methods that could have been used to obtain the credit card information. They would also examine the individual’s computer for malware or potentially malicious software that could have been used to steal credit card information.
Digital forensics experts investigate intellectual property theft, such as the theft of trade secrets, copyrighted material, and corporate espionage cases.
For example, an employee at a company is suspected of stealing sensitive information from the company’s digital assets. Digital forensics investigators would be brought in to examine the employee’s computer and any other devices they may have used to access the company’s network. They would use specialized software to analyze the computer’s hard drive, looking for signs of data exfiltration, such as large amounts of data transferred to external devices or cloud storage services. They would also examine the employee’s internet browsing history, email, and other electronic communications to determine whether the employee had any motive or intent to steal the information.
