The Handbook of Digital Forensics and Investigation builds on the success of the Handbook of Computer Crime Investigation, bringing together renowned experts in all areas of digital forensics and investigation to provide the consummate resource for practitioners in the field. This unique collection details how to conduct digital investigations in both criminal and civil contexts, and how to locate and utilize digital evidence on computers, networks, and embedded systems. Specifically, the Investigative Methodology section of the Handbook provides expert guidance in the three main areas of practice: Forensic Analysis, Electronic Discovery and Intrusion Investigation. The Technology section is extended and updated to reflect the state of the art in each area of specialization. The main areas of focus in the Technology section are forensic analysis of Windows, Unix, Macintosh, and embedded systems (including cellular telephones and other mobile devices), and investigations involving networks (including enterprise environments and mobile telecommunications technology). The Handbook of Digital Forensics and Investigation is an essential technical reference and on-the-job guide that IT professionals, forensic practitioners, law enforcement, and attorneys will rely on when confronted with computer related crime and digital evidence of any kind.

Crimes like child exploitation, fraud, drug trafficking, terrorism, and homicide usually involve computers to some degree (see Chapter 2, "Forensic Analysis"). Electronic discovery has become so common in civil disputes that countries are updating their legal guidelines to address digital evidence (see Chapter 3, "Electronic Discovery"). Investigations of intrusions into corporate and government IT systems rely heavily on digital evidence, and are becoming more challenging as offenders become more adept at covering their tracks (see Chapter 4, "Intrusion Investigation").
Media reports at the time of this writing clearly demonstrate the wide diversity of cases that involve digital evidence:
* The University of California at Berkeley notified students and alumni that an intruder had gained unauthorized access to a database containing medical records of over 160,000 individuals.
* Members of an international child exploitation enterprise were sentenced for participating in an illegal organization that utilized Internet newsgroups to traffic in illegal images and videos depicting
