Cybercrime Investigation Case Studies: An Excerpt from Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard by Brett Shavers (Digital Forensics Practitioner, expert witness, and Adjunct Instructor, University of Washington Digital Forensics program)
Cybercrime Investigation Case Studies is a first look excerpt from Brett Shavers' new Syngress book, Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard. Case studies are an effective method of learning the methods and processes that were both successful and unsuccessful in real cases. Using a variety of case types, including civil and criminal cases, with different cybercrimes, a broad base of knowledge can be gained by comparing the cases against each other. The primary goal of reviewing successful cases involving suspects using technology to facilitate crimes is to be able to find and use the same methods in future cases. This first look teaches you how to place the suspect behind the keyboard using case studies.
