| From binary memory dumps to log files, this DVD-ROM's intrusion data was generated by attacking live systems using the same tools and methods real-world attackers use. It was then captured and analyzed using the same tools the authors employ in their own investigations.
This book relies heavily on open source tools, so you can perform virtually every task without investing in any commercial software. You'll investigate environments ranging from financial institutions to software companies and crimes ranging from intellectual property theft to SEC violations. As you move step by step through each investigation, you'll discover practical techniques for overcoming the challenges forensics professionals face most often. Coverage includes: - Responding to live incidents in both Windows and Unix environments;
- Determining whether an attack has actually occurred;
- Assembling a toolkit you can take to the scene of a computer-related crime;
- Analyzing volatile data, nonvolatile data, and files of unknown origin;
- Safely performing and documenting forensic duplications;
- Collecting and analyzing network-based evidence in Windows and Unix environments;
- Reconstructing Web browsing, e-mail activity, and Windows registry changes;
- Tracing domain name ownership and the source of e-mails. -Duplicating and analyzing the contents of PDAs and flash memory devices.
On DVD: compressed data generated from actual intrusions. This data mirrors what analysts might find in real investigations and allows the reader to learn about forensic investigations in a realistic setting. | |
