Overview:


Even if you do everything right to secure your network, including implement security measures properly and maintain them vigilantly, no network is 100% secure. So, what do you do if, in spite of all your preparations, your network or systems get compromised? You need to pick up the pieces, figure out how your attackers got in, patch up the holes in your network security, and if necessary, track down the perpetrators and take further action.

These tools should give you enough to get started with basic forensic activity on just about any system. Chapter coverage includes:

  • Uses for forensic tools
  • Incident response concepts
  • Preparing for forensic investigation
  • Tenets of good forensic investigation
  • Using Fport, Isof, DD, UNIX and Windows log files, Sleuth Kit, Autopsy Forensic Browser, and The Forensic Toolkit
