Abstract

Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard is the definitive book on conducting a complete investigation of a cybercrime using digital forensics techniques as well as physical investigative procedures. This book merges a digital analysis examiner's work with the work of a case investigator in order to build a solid case to identify and prosecute cybercriminals.

Brett Shavers links traditional investigative techniques with high tech crime analysis in a manner that not only determines elements of crimes, but also places the suspect at the keyboard. This book is a first in combining investigative strategies of digital forensics analysis processes alongside physical investigative techniques in which the reader will gain a holistic approach to their current and future cybercrime investigations.

• Learn the tools and investigative principles of both physical and digital cybercrime investigations—and how they fit together to build a solid and complete case
• Master the techniques of conducting a holistic investigation that combines both digital and physical evidence to track down the "suspect behind the keyboard"
• The only book to combine physical and digital investigative techniques

"The knowledge of the technologies and investigative procedures is broad, solid, and current. The claims are realistic and modest...the book makes a useful text for an introductory or refresher course in the investigation of cyber crimes..." --Computing Reviews, October 2014
