"Digital Forensics" is a comprehensive, practical, and accessible guide designed for the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Tailored specifically for B.Tech and M.Tech students, this book demystifies the complex world of digital investigation by seamlessly integrating foundational theory with intensive, hands-on practice. It addresses a critical gap in technical education by moving beyond theoretical concepts to build tangible, in-demand skills using real-world scenarios and industry-standard open-source tools.


Key Features:

1. NEP 2020 and AICTE Compliant: The curriculum is strictly aligned with the multidisciplinary, skill-based, and practical learning objectives of the National Education Policy 2020 and the model syllabus of the AICTE.
2. Hands-On Learning: Theory is immediately reinforced with step-by-step practical examples. The book emphasizes "learning by doing" using free and open-source tools like Autopsy, Wireshark, Volatility, and FTK Imager, ensuring students can set up their own low-cost lab.
3. Simplified and Accessible Examples: Complex forensic techniques are broken down into simple, easy-to-follow steps. The examples are designed to build confidence and ensure that even students new to the field can grasp the material.
4. Comprehensive Capstone Project: The final chapter provides a live, working capstone project with all necessary evidence files, complete code, commands, and a step-by-step explanatory guide. This project simulates a real-world investigation, integrating skills from across the forensic spectrum.
5. Global and Indian Context: The book covers both international standards (ISO/IEC) and crucial Indian legal frameworks (IT Act 2000, Indian Evidence Act), preparing students for both global and local career opportunities.
6. Updated and Relevant Content: Covers modern forensic challenges including cloud, IoT, and mobile forensics, ensuring the knowledge gained is current and future-proof.
7. Focus on Foundational Skills: While tools may change, the underlying principles of investigation do not. This book focuses on building a strong foundation in critical thinking, evidence handling, and analytical reasoning that will serve a professional throughout their career.


The culmination of this learning journey is the capstone project in the final chapter. This is not just a theoretical exercise but a simulated, real-world investigation that requires you to apply the skills learned throughout the book to solve a complex case. By analyzing a provided set of evidence files—a disk image, memory dump, and network traffic capture—you will piece together the puzzle, identify the perpetrator, and understand the anatomy of a digital crime from start to finish.
