Many old and new friends donated knowledge, time, techniques, tools, and much more to make this project a success. We are truly grateful to each of you. The wonderful and overworked team at McGraw-Hill is outstanding. We sincerely appreciate your dedication, coaching, and long hours during the course of this project. Jane Brownlow, this book is a result of your tireless dedication to the completion of this project.
You are truly one of the best in the business. We would also like to extend a big round of thanks to Joya Anthony, our acquisition coordinator and honorary coxswain. Thanks to LeeAnn Pickrell for seeing us through to the finish line. Jean, as always, your work is fantastic. You truly play to a standard in everything you do and it shows. Todd, you went above and beyond and the book is a world better for it. John, thank you for the vision and strategic input on the structure of the new sections.
Louis, your attention to detail and desire to know the right answer is a huge asset. You were a fantastic technical editor. Lastly, a special note of remembrance for Bill Siebert. He wrote the foreword for the first edition of the book, donating his time when none of us knew how the book would be received.
Unfortunately Bill passed in December Bill, you and your family are in our thoughts. Thanks to everyone at Navigant Consulting. Also, a special note of thanks to Kris Swanson and Todd Marlin for ideas and guidance throughout both this book and our other case work. John, Jean, and Louis, I am proud to say that we were on the same team.
You guys are great. John, you have always had my back, and I have learned a ton from you. Here is to success and building it the right way. To Susan and Lauren, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your patience with me as Todd and I worked on the book weekend after weekend. Todd, thanks for everything, not just the book. Thanks to Fr. Patrick Johnson for all the sage advice and for reminding me of the importance of balance in life.
Austin Catholic Parish in Austin, Texas, has truly become an anchor in my life. You taught me mental toughness, brotherhood, the value of perseverance, and how to never give up.
And to every one of my computer science professors for showing me how much I still have to learn. A huge thank you to Robert Groshon and Bradley O. Brauser for believing in me all those years ago. Thanks to Peggy Cheung for being such a great friend. Your selling me the Rose Bowl tickets at face value goes as one of the greatest demonstrations of friendships I have ever witnessed. I am very sorry I stopped texting you game updates in the third quarter, and I still have no idea how much that phone call to Hong Kong cost me.
Finally, I would like to give another thank you to my family, my mother and father who gave me my first computer when I was seven, and my sister Renee. Little did we know at the time how much computer forensics would change since the book was first published in Computer forensics is changing the way investigations are done, even investigations previously thought to be outside the four corners of technology investigations.
If you look at what happened with the economy in and , the subprime mortgage meltdown, the credit crisis, and all of the associated fraud that has been uncovered, you can see the vital role that computer forensics plays in the process. Before the prevalence of technology in corporations, all investigators had to go on were paper documents and financial transactions. With the addition of computer forensics as a tool, we can better identify not only what happened at a certain point in time, but also, in some cases, the intent of the individuals involved.
Multibillion-dollar fraud schemes are being blown open by the discovery of a single e-mail or thumb drive. Computer forensics is front and center in changing the way these investigations are conducted. Part I: Preparing for an Incident This section discusses how to develop a forensics process and set up the lab environment needed to conduct your investigation in an accurate and skillful manner.
In addition, it lays the technical groundwork for the rest of the book. Part II: Collecting the Evidence These chapters teach you how to effectively find, capture, and prepare evidence for investigation. Additionally, we highlight how the law applies to evidence collection.
We introduce field-tested methods and techniques for recovering suspect activities. We discuss how you will interact with council, testify in court, and report on your findings. In many ways, this is the most important part of the forensics process. We look at different types of investigations through the lens of computer forensics and how it can help create the bigger picture. How we define attacks and countermeasures for forensics, however, is a bit different than in past books.
This is an attack icon. In previous Hacking Exposed books, this icon was used to denote a type of attack that could be launched against your network or target. In this book, the attack icon relates to procedures, techniques, and concerns that threaten to compromise your investigation. For instance, failing to properly image a hard drive is labeled an attack with a very high risk rating.
This is because you are going to see it often; it is not difficult to create an image, and if you accidentally write to the disk when you are imaging, your whole investigation may be compromised, no matter what else you do correctly. Hacking Exposed Computer Forensics, Second Edition explains how to construct a high-tech forensic lab, collect prosecutable evidence, discover e-mail and system file clues, track wireless activity, and recover obscured documents.
Learn how to re-create an attacker's footsteps, communicate with counsel, prepare court-ready reports, and work through legal and organizational challenges. Case studies straight from today's headlines cover IP theft, mortgage fraud, employee misconduct, securities fraud, embezzlement, organized crime, and consumer fraud cases.
