It helps forensic investigators locate and analyze digital evidence found on Linux desktops, servers, and IoT devices. Throughout the book, you learn how to identify digital artifacts which may be of interest to an investigation, draw logical conclusions, and reconstruct past activity from incidents. You'll learn how Linux works from a digital forensics and investigation perspective, and how to interpret evidence from Linux environments. The techniques shown are intended to be independent of the forensic analysis platforms and tools used. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLearn how to: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eExtract evidence from storage devices and analyze partition tables, volume managers, popular Linux filesystems (Ext4, Btrfs, and Xfs), and encryption\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInvestigate evidence from Linux logs, including traditional syslog, the systemd journal, kernel and audit logs, and logs from daemons and applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReconstruct the Linux startup process, from boot loaders (UEFI and Grub) and kernel initialization, to systemd unit files and targets leading up to a graphical login\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePerform analysis of power, temperature, and the physical environment of a Linux machine, and find evidence of sleep, hibernation, shutdowns, reboots, and crashes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExamine installed software, including distro installers, package formats, and package management systems from Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Arch, and other distros\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePerform analysis of time and Locale settings, internationalization including language and keyboard settings, and geolocation on a Linux system\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReconstruct user login sessions (shell, X11 and Wayland), desktops (Gnome, KDE, and others) and analyze keyrings, wallets, trash cans, clipboards, thumbnails, recent files and other desktop artifacts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAnalyze network configuration, including interfaces, addresses, network managers, DNS, wireless artifacts (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WWAN), VPNs (including WireGuard), firewalls, and proxy settings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIdentify traces of attached peripheral devices (PCI, USB, Thunderbolt, Bluetooth) including external storage, cameras, and mobiles, and reconstruct printing and scanning activity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Nikkel\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the Bern University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland, specializing in digital forensics and cybercrime.
