About the Authors

Preston Miller is a consultant at an internationally recognized firm that specializes in cyber investigations. Preston holds an undergraduate degree from Vassar College and a master's degree in digital forensics from Marshall University, where he was the recipient of the J. Edgar Hoover Scientific Scholarship for academic excellence. While studying in a graduate school, Preston conducted classes on Python and Open Source Forensics. Preston has previously published his research on Bitcoin through Syngress.

Preston is experienced in conducting traditional Digital Forensic investigations, but specializes in Physical Forensics. Physical Forensics is a subset of Digital Forensics, which involves black box scenarios where data must be acquired from a device by non-traditional means. In his free time, Preston contributes to multiple Python-based open source projects.

I would like to thank my wife, Stephanie, for her unwavering encouragement and love. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support. I owe many thanks to Dr. Terry Fenger, Chris Vance, Robert Boggs, and John Sammons for helping me grow my understanding of the field and inspiring me to learn outside the classroom.

Chapin Bryce is a professional in the digital forensics community. After studying computers and digital forensics at Champlain College, Chapin joined a firm leading the field of digital forensics and investigations. In his downtime, Chapin enjoys working on Python scripts, writing, and skiing (weather permitting). As a member of multiple ongoing research and development projects, Chapin has authored several articles in professional and academic publications.

I want to thank all of my family and friends who have been incredibly supportive during the development of this book. A special thanks to my best friend and keeper of sanity, Alexa, who has helped tirelessly bring this exciting project together. Your unwavering support has made this possible. A warm thank you to my mother, father, sister, and the extended family who have supported me through the years and encouraged me to reach just a little further at every opportunity. I am also extremely grateful for the advice and guidance from my mentors, both professionally and academically, as I have grown in the field of forensics.

Acknowledgments

We would like to thank John Shumway, Hasan Eray Dogan, and J-Michael Roberts for their contributions to the book. We greatly appreciate their insight and expertise in all things forensics.

Preface

At the outset of writing Learning Python Forensics , we had one goal; teach the use of Python for forensics in such a way that readers with little to no programming experience could follow along immediately and develop practical code for use in casework. That's not to say that this book is intended for the Python neophyte; throughout we ease the reader into progressively more challenging code and end by incorporating each script into a forensic framework. This book makes a few assumptions about the reader's programming experience, and where it does, there will often be an Appendix section or a list of resources to help bridge the gap in knowledge.
