Cryptocurrency Forensics and Investigation using Open Source Intelligence Techniques (OSINT): Volume I
暫譯: 加密貨幣取證與調查：使用開源情報技術（OSINT）第一卷

金融業的發展速度超過了我們大多數人的預期。隨著數位貨幣的普及，新的機會和風險也隨之而來。加密貨幣不再是邊緣的概念；它們現在已成為國際投資、商業，甚至不幸的犯罪活動的一部分。調查員和法律專家可以在這方面提供幫助。急需解開複雜的交易、追蹤數位足跡並維護系統的完整性。

《使用開源工具和技術進行加密貨幣取證與調查》是一套兩卷本的系列書籍，正是為了這個原因而撰寫。它旨在成為一個實用的、動手操作的資源，供希望使用公開可獲得的工具來學習和研究比特幣活動的人士使用。

第一卷涵蓋了基本概念，包括必要的想法、開源資源和基本技術、犯罪分子在加密空間中的運作方式、隱私幣的處理等，這些都是你開始進行研究所需的內容。接著，第二卷深入探討更複雜的方法，例如在多個區塊鏈上追蹤資產、識別趨勢以及研究實際案例。

Prakash Prasad didn't set out to become one of the most trusted names in crypto crime investigation--it just happened that way. With over 20 years of experience in cyber forensics, he's spent most of his career helping people understand threats that many still don't fully see coming.

He's written more than a dozen books, not to show off credentials, but to fill the massive knowledge gap around cyber law, financial fraud, and cryptocurrency investigations. His work reflects what he's seen first-hand--how digital crimes unfold, how investigators get misled, and how smarter tools can turn the tide.

Prakash's approach blends technical know-how with a grounded understanding of criminal behaviour. He is not only curious in cyberspace; he is also knowledgeable about human psychology, the evolution of scams, and the ways in which systems can be both protected and abused. His combination of abilities has made him a sought-after consultant for corporate security teams, regulators, and law enforcement organizations worldwide.

He's trained thousands, spoken at conferences, and built methods that help track digital money trails--from blockchain transactions to the dark web. He's also earned hundreds of professional certifications--not for the titles, but to stay ahead in a space that moves faster than most people realize.

By combining criminology, forensic science, psychology, and sophisticated financial concepts, Prakash Prasad's multidisciplinary approach improves his investigative techniques. He demonstrates a dedication to ongoing professional development and the advancement of industry standards by holding certifications as a Crypto Crime Investigator, Certified Cyber Crime Investigator, Crypto Crime Investigator, DIISM, MSc (IS), DFCC, DFISM, DCPM, DFE, DFFE, DBA, FCE, FDS, CIISM, ChFRM, ChFI, ChFA, ChFM, ChE, MSC, MBA, MPM, MPA, ACFE, CCSP, CAMLS, FCGSI, and Cyber Forensic Analyst. He also holds more than 220 professional accreditations.

His new book, Crypto Investigations and Forensics, is not an academic text. It's a field guide. Whether you're new to the space or already working in it, you'll find practical, tested insights drawn from years of on-the-ground work. If you want to understand where digital crime is headed--and how to deal with it--this is a good place to start.

Prakash Prasad 並不是一開始就想成為加密犯罪調查領域中最受信任的名字之一——這只是自然而然發生的。擁有超過 20 年的網路取證經驗，他在職業生涯中大部分時間都在幫助人們理解許多仍然未完全察覺的威脅。

他寫了十多本書，並不是為了炫耀自己的資歷，而是為了填補有關網路法律、金融詐騙和加密貨幣調查的巨大知識空白。他的工作反映了他親身目睹的情況——數位犯罪是如何展開的，調查人員是如何被誤導的，以及更智能的工具如何能改變局勢。

Prakash 的方法將技術專業知識與對犯罪行為的深入理解相結合。他不僅對網路空間充滿好奇，還對人類心理學、詐騙的演變以及系統如何同時受到保護和濫用有著豐富的知識。他的能力組合使他成為全球企業安全團隊、監管機構和執法組織所追求的顧問。

他培訓了數千人，參加了會議，並建立了幫助追蹤數位貨幣足跡的方法——從區塊鏈交易到暗網。他還獲得了數百項專業認證——這些認證不是為了頭銜，而是為了在這個比大多數人意識到的更快變化的領域中保持領先。

通過結合犯罪學、法醫科學、心理學和複雜的金融概念，Prakash Prasad 的多學科方法提升了他的調查技術。他通過持有加密犯罪調查員、認證網路犯罪調查員、加密犯罪調查員、DIISM、碩士（資訊系統）、DFCC、DFISM、DCPM、DFE、DFFE、DBA、FCE、FDS、CIISM、ChFRM、ChFI、ChFA、ChFM、ChE、MSC、MBA、MPM、MPA、ACFE、CCSP、CAMLS、FCGSI 和網路取證分析師等認證，展現了對持續專業發展和行業標準提升的承諾。他還擁有超過 220 項專業認證。

他的新書 Crypto Investigations and Forensics 並不是一本學術文本，而是一本實地指南。無論你是對這個領域感到陌生還是已經在其中工作，你都會發現從多年實地工作中提煉出的實用、經過驗證的見解。如果你想了解數位犯罪的未來走向——以及如何應對——這是個不錯的起點。
