For Lora, Abby, and Rae for making me a truly blessed and lucky man.
To my mother Juanita, and my grandmother Grace. For the many sacrifices you made and the example you set I miss you.
Seal Team Six tore the hard drives from Osama bin Laden's computers. Some of Michael Jackson's final words were captured on an iPhone. Google searches for chloroform played a central role in the trial of Casey Anthony. This list could go on and on. Digital forensics is used to keep us safe, to ensure justice is done and company and taxpayer resources aren't abused. This book is your first step into the world of digital forensics. Welcome!
Digital forensics is used in a number of arenas, not just in catching identity thieves and Internet predators. For example, it's being used on the battlefields of Afghanistan to gather intelligence. The rapid exploitation of information pulled from cell phones and other devices is helping our troops identify and eliminate terrorists and insurgents.
It's being used in the multibillion-dollar world of civil litigation. Gone are the days when opposing parties exchanged boxes of paper memos, letters, and reports as part of the litigation process. Today, those documents are written in 1s and 0s rather than ink. They are stored on hard drives and backup tapes rather than in filing cabinets.
Digital forensics helps combat the massive surge in cybercrime. Identity thieves, child pornographers, and old school criminals are all using and leveraging technology to facilitate their illegal activities.
Finally, it's being used in the workplace to help protect both companies and government entities from the misuse of their computer systems.
As the title suggests, this is a beginner's book. The only assumption is that you have a fundamental understanding or familiarity of computers and other digital devices. If you have a moderate or advanced understanding of digital forensics, this book may not be for you. As part of Syngress's Basics series, I wrote this book more as a broad introduction to the subject rather than an all-encompassing tome. I've tried to use as much plain English as possible, making it (hopefully) an easier read.
I'd like to emphasize that this is an introductory book that is deliberately limited in length. Given that, there is much that couldn't be covered in depth or even covered at all. Each chapter could be a book all by itself. There are many wonderful books out there that can help further your understanding. I sincerely hope you don't stop here.
The book is organized in a fairly straightforward way. Each chapter covers a specific type of technology and begins with a basic explanation of the technology involved. This is a necessity in order to really understand the forensic material that follows.
To help reinforce the material, the book also contains stories from the field, case examples, and Q and A with a cryptanalyst as well as a specialist in cell phone forensics.
What exactly is digital forensics? seeks to define digital forensics and examine how it's being used. From the battlefield to the boardroom to the courtroom, digital forensics is playing a bigger and bigger role.
Understanding how computers create and store digital information is a perquisite for the study of digital forensics. It is this understanding that enables us to answer questions like How was that artifact created? and Was that generated by the computer itself, or was it a result of some user action? We'll look at binary, how data are stored, storage media, and more.
In Labs and Tools, we look at the digital forensic environment and hardware and software that are used on a regular basis. We will also examine standards used to accredit labs and validate tools. Those standards are explored along with quality assurance, which is the bedrock of any forensic operation. Quality assurance seeks to ensure that results generated by the forensic examination are accurate.
How the digital evidence is handled will play a major role in getting that evidence admitted into court. covers fundamental forensically sound practices that you can use to collect the evidence and establish a chain of custody.
