Practical Forensic Imaging
A Must-Have Reference for Digital Forensic
Practitioners and Forensic Labs

San Francisco, CA (October 14, 2016)--When forensic investigations involve
digital activity, the proper handling of media evidence is critical. Digital
forensic investigators acquire, preserve, and manage digital evidence to
support civil and criminal cases, examine policy violations, resolve
disputes, and analyze cyber attacks. "Practical Forensic Imaging" (
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z6l290bpvfvtspgirrse4skr9rl... )
($49.95, 320 pp., September 2016), a new book from No Starch Press, takes a
detailed look at how to use open source command line tools to secure and
manage digital evidence--something that is becoming increasingly important
with the growth of private sector forensic labs. This is the first book to
focus entirely on the forensic acquisition of modern storage media, making it
an incomparable resource for digital forensics professionals.

In "Practical Forensic Imaging," cybercrime and digital forensics expert
Bruce Nikkel guides readers through the entire forensic acquisition process,
providing practical scenarios that show, step-by-step, how to use Linux-based
tools to acquire and manage forensic images from a wide range of storage
media technologies.

Readers learn how to:
-Image hard disks, SSDs and flash drives, optical disks, magnetic tapes, and
legacy technologies
-Protect evidence media with forensic write-blocking technologies
-Preserve evidence with cryptographic hashing, signatures, and timestamps
-Acquire images from protected drives, RAIDs, VMs, and damaged media
-Manage large forensic image files, image formats, and lab storage capacity
-Securely transfer, store, and dispose of forensic images

According to No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock, "This book is essential to
understanding how forensic image acquisition works, and includes impressive
coverage of Linux tools for imaging storage media, including some that I've
personally used to recover lost data."

"Practical Forensic Imaging" is now available online and in fine bookstores
everywhere.
