Description
This is an advanced cookbook and reference guide for digital forensic practitioners. File System Forensic Analysis focuses on the file system and disk. The file system of a computer is where most files are stored and where most evidence is found; it also the most technically challenging part of forensic analysis. This book offers an overview and detailed knowledge of the file system and disc layout. The overview will allow an investigator to more easily find evidence, recover deleted data, and validate his tools. The cookbook section will show how to use the many open source tools for analysis, many of which Brian Carrier has developed himself.

Most digital evidence is stored within the computer’s file system,
but understanding how file systems work is one of the most technically
challenging concepts for a digital investigator because there exists
little documentation. Now, security expert Brian Carrier has written
the definitive reference for everyone who wants to understand and be
able to testify about how file system analysis is performed.

Carrier
begins with an overview of investigation and computer foundations and
then gives an authoritative, comprehensive, and illustrated overview of
contemporary volume and file systems: Crucial information for
discovering hidden evidence, recovering deleted data, and validating
your tools. Along the way, he describes data structures, analyzes
example disk images, provides advanced investigation scenarios, and
uses today’s most valuable open source file system analysis
toolsâ€â€including tools he personally developed.

When
it comes to file system analysis, no other book offers this much detail
or expertise. Whether you’re a digital forensics specialist, incident
response team member, law enforcement officer, corporate security
specialist, or auditor, this book will become an indispensable resource
for forensic investigations, no matter what analysis tools you use.
