About this book

Adopting an experimental learning approach, this book describes a practical forensic process to acquire and analyze databases from a given device and/or application. Databases hold important, sensitive, and/or confidential information and are a crucial source of evidence in any digital investigation. This also reinforces the importance of keeping up to date on the cyber-threat landscape as well as any associated database forensic challenges and approaches. The book also guides cyber-forensic researchers, educators, and practitioners through the process of conducting database forensics and investigations on mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, web browsers, and end-to-end encrypted instant messaging applications. Given the fast-changing database forensics landscape, this book will be of interest to researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field, as well as students who want to learn about the database investigation.
