About the Book:
Approximately 80 percent of the world’s population
now owns a cell phone, which can hold evidence or contain logs about
communications concerning a crime. Cameras, PDAs, and GPS devices can also
contain information related to corporate policy infractions and crimes. Aimed
to prepare investigators in the public and private sectors, Digital
Forensics for Handheld Devices examines both the theoretical and
practical aspects of investigating handheld digital devices.
This book touches on all areas of mobile device
forensics, including topics from the legal, technical, academic, and social
aspects of the discipline. It provides guidance on how to seize data, examine
it, and prepare it as evidence for court. This includes the use of chain of
custody forms for seized evidence and Faraday Bags for digital devices to
prevent further connectivity and tampering of evidence. Emphasizing the
policies required in the work environment, the author provides readers with a
clear understanding of the differences between a corporate investigation and a
criminal investigation. The book also: ·
Offers best
practices for establishing an incident response policy and seizing data from
company or privately owned digital devices ·
Provides
guidance in establishing dedicated examinations free of viruses, spyware, and
connections to other devices that could taint evidence ·
Supplies
guidance on determining protocols for complicated crime scenes with external
media and devices that may have connected with the handheld device
Considering important
privacy issues and the Fourth Amendment, this book facilitates an understanding
of how to use digital forensic tools to investigate the complete range of
available digital devices, including flash drives, cell phones, PDAs, digital
cameras, and netbooks. It includes examples of commercially available digital
forensic tools and ends with a discussion of the education and certifications
required for various careers in mobile device forensics. |
