Cryptocurrency Forensics and Investigation using Open Source Intelligence Techniques (OSINT): Volume II
暫譯: 加密貨幣取證與調查：使用開源情報技術（OSINT）第二卷

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概念；它們現在已成為國際投資、商業，甚至不幸的是，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、追蹤數位足跡以及維護系統的完整性。

《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。

第一卷涵蓋了基礎知識，包括基本概念、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。

Although Prakash Prasad avoids the limelight, his name is very significant in the fields of digital forensics and cryptocurrency crime. Having worked in the industry for over 20 years, he has established a reputation for knowing how to respond when things go wrong in addition to having a thorough understanding of the intricate technical aspects of cyberthreats.

He has authored over a dozen publications over the years, all of which are straightforward manuals that simplify difficult subjects like fintech fraud, cyber law, and the rapidly evolving realm of virtual currencies. But his work goes way beyond writing.

Prakash has helped shape how law enforcement agencies, regulators, and corporate security teams approach digital investigations. He's trained thousands of professionals, sharing what he's learned from real-world cases so they can better handle today's cyber threats.

He's also a regular presence at global cybersecurity conferences, where he dives into how fraud works--from traditional bank scams to dark web marketplaces--and how new tools like blockchain, OSINT, AI, and even quantum computing are changing the game. His work in social media intelligence (SOCMINT) and transaction tracing has helped uncover fraud patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.

What makes Prakash's approach different is how he blends fields--criminology, forensic science, psychology, finance--and uses that mix to see digital crime from all angles. He's earned over 220 professional credentials (yes, really), including certifications in crypto crime investigation, cyber forensics, data science, and financial crime analysis. But talk to him, and it's clear: it's not about collecting titles--it's about staying sharp in a space that never stops evolving.

His latest book, Crypto Investigations and Forensics, pulls together everything he's learned into a hands-on guide. Whether you're in law enforcement, compliance, or just trying to keep your systems safe, this book lays out what works--and what doesn't--when it comes to navigating the wild world of crypto crime.

雖然Prakash Prasad避免成為焦點，但他的名字在數位取證和加密貨幣犯罪領域中非常重要。擁有超過20年的行業經驗，他在應對問題時的反應能力以及對網路威脅複雜技術層面的深入理解，使他建立了良好的聲譽。

多年來，他撰寫了十多部出版物，這些都是簡明易懂的手冊，簡化了像金融科技詐騙、網路法律以及快速發展的虛擬貨幣領域等困難主題。但他的工作遠不止於寫作。

Prakash幫助塑造了執法機構、監管機構和企業安全團隊在數位調查中的方法。他培訓了數千名專業人士，分享他從現實案例中學到的知識，以便他們能更好地應對當今的網路威脅。

他也是全球網路安全會議的常客，深入探討詐騙的運作方式——從傳統的銀行詐騙到暗網市場——以及像區塊鏈、開源情報（OSINT）、人工智慧（AI）甚至量子計算等新工具如何改變遊戲規則。他在社交媒體情報（SOCMINT）和交易追蹤方面的工作，幫助揭示了可能會被忽視的詐騙模式。

Prakash的方法之所以與眾不同，是因為他將犯罪學、法醫科學、心理學和金融等領域融合在一起，並利用這種混合來從各個角度看待數位犯罪。他獲得了超過220項專業證書（是的，真的），包括加密犯罪調查、網路取證、數據科學和金融犯罪分析的認證。但與他交談後會發現，這並不是關於收集頭銜——而是關於在一個不斷演變的領域中保持敏銳。

他最新的書籍Crypto Investigations and Forensics將他所學到的一切整合成一本實用指南。無論你是在執法、合規，還是僅僅想保護你的系統安全，這本書都清楚地列出了在應對加密貨幣犯罪的狂野世界中，什麼有效——什麼無效。
