Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence. Computer networks, cloud computing, smartphones, embedded devices and the Internet of Things have expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations.  Practically every crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence; digital forensics provides the techniques and tools to articulate this evidence in legal proceedings.  Digital forensics also has myriad intelligence applications; furthermore, it has a vital role in cyber security -- investigations of security breaches yield valuable information that can be used to design more secure and resilient systems.

Advances in Digital Forensics XV describes original research results and innovative applications in the discipline of digital forensics.  In addition, it highlights some of the major technical and legal issues related to digital evidence and electronic crime investigations.  The areas of coverage include: forensic models, mobile and embedded device forensics, filesystem forensics, image forensics, and forensic techniques.

This book is the fifteenth volume in the annual series produced by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics, an international community of scientists, engineers and practitioners dedicated to advancing the state of the art of research and practic

Cybercrime and Digital Deviance is a work that combines insights from sociology, criminology, and computer science to explore cybercrimes such as hacking and romance scams, along with forms of cyberdeviance such as pornography addiction, trolling, and flaming. Other issues are explored including cybercrime investigations, organized cybercrime, the use of algorithms in policing, cybervictimization, and the theories used to explain cybercrime.

 

Graham and Smith make a conceptual distinction between a terrestrial, physical environment and a single digital environment produced through networked computers. Conceptualizing the online space as a distinct environment for social interaction links this text with assumptions made in the fields of urban sociology or rural criminology. Students in sociology and criminology will have a familiar entry point for understanding what may appear to be a technologically complex course of study. The authors organize all forms of cybercrime and cyberdeviance by applying a typology developed by David Wall: cybertrespass, cyberdeception, cyberviolence, and cyberpornography. This typology is simple enough for students just beginning their inquiry into cybercrime. Because it is based on legal categories of trespassing, fraud, violent crimes against persons, and moral transgressions it provides a solid foundation for deeper study.

Forensic science is the branch of science that deals to investigate crimes using scientific methods. Whereas digital or computer forensic is the branch of forensic science that used to investigate electronic crimes. Computer forensics involves some techniques to capture important data that would be useful in your reports and reports should be admissible evidence to court. Electronic crimes involves electronic data including money laundering, espionage, piracy theft, extortion, malware attacks, spoofing, key logging. These crimes can be investigated using scientific methods. In this book, data acquisition described, that is the first step in computer forensics. Data acquisition involves bit-streaming which means you can create an image file of your data with the same date and time because using bit-streaming you can’t compromise your evidence. In this book, we described bit-streaming with advance tools and techniques. We used more than three tools to acquire data only. Here’s the question, why we acquire data and why bit-streaming is important for computer forensics and investigation. When a cyber-incident happens, it is very important for a cybercrime analyst to use standard ways to response against that incident. Incident response based on logical as well as physical. When cybercrime analyst responses against cyber-attack, one thing must be understand to diagnose system states (described in this book also) and actions, what he/she must do if system is alive or dead. In this book we explained not only acquisition but we also explored advance methods to acquire data. Data acquisition is applied when you want to get whole image of suspect machine. You can also acquire data using live acquisition method or offline method. Live acquisition can be done using universal live acquisition tool Helix or using your server also. In this book we also elaborated different tools used in Helix. Helix provides flawless performance during acquisition, Helix launched by e-fence, they launched two versions, free and commercial. Offline acquisition involves offline tools that used to acquire your image when you reached at incident place and you got instructions or decision to acquire data of a suspect machine. RAM acquisition is a very crucial part of forensic data acquisition. In this book, we discussed some built-in commands to acquire data for a RAM in case of Linux operating systems; if suspect machine would be based on Windows the method is also explained. At the end of this book, the used of C.A.I.N.E also described that gives you to acquire data with number of latest options; using C.A.I.N.E we can also acquire data for mobile phones, by attaching mobile phones we can acquire data for BlackBerry phone, Apple devices, Android device, MAC devices. There are some protocols defines when we used server based acquisition that offers Helix to connect suspect machine with your server using First Responder Utility (FRU). Helix also provides Net Cat listener (NC) option to listen port to connect using this port. NC option is also useful to get initial information related to network and port connections. This is very useful feature to investigate network devices. Some port numbers and their related task defined at the end of this book. I hope you’ll feel more satisfaction by reading and applying techniques that thorou

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, UNITEC New Zealand, language: English, abstract: Nowadays the use of computers is increasing more and more. This has allowed the development of the internet. In turn, the Internet has brought many benefits, but the internet has also contributed to the rise of cyber-crime. So, with the rise of cybercrime, it has become critical to increase and develop computer systems security. Each time, the techniques used by cybercriminals are more sophisticated, making it more difficult to protect corporate networks. Because of this, the computer security of these companies has been violated, and it is here at this point when digital analysis forensic is needed to discover cybercriminals. So, with the rise of cybercrime, digital forensics is increasingly gaining importance in the area of information technology. For this reason, when a crime is done, the crime information is stored digitally. Therefore, it must use appropriate mechanisms for the collection, preservation, protection, analysis and presentation of digital evidence stored in electronic devices. It is here that the need arises for digital forensics. In this report, I am going to explain what digital forensics is. Also, I will describe some forensic software an

An organization’s policies and procedures should be realistic, practical and tailored to the circumstances of the organization. No single standard or model can fully meet any organization’s unique needs. In the areas of digital evidence and custody management there are accepted principles and procedures that address challenges and obligations for evidence collection and preservation in an environment of constant technological progress and increased legal scrutiny. In the absence of being able to establish a procedural standard, the use of appropriate principles and guidelines establish a framework within which an organization can continuously evaluate their policies, practices and procedures to work towards best practices for managing and controlling evidence.This document aims to establish an understanding of baseline concepts that will inform the organization’s practices related to evidence handling and control. Its purpose is to create an environment where there is a culture of ongoing process improvement to meet current and future needs.
