Virtualization and Forensics: A Digital Forensic Investigator's Guide to Virtual Environments (Paperback)

Virtualization creates new and difficult challenges for forensic investigations. Operating systems and applications running in virtualized environments often leave few traces, yielding little evidence with which to conduct an investigation.

Virtualization and Forensics offers an in-depth view into the world of virtualized environments and the implications they have on forensic investigations. Part I explains the process of virtualization and the different types of virtualized environments. Part II details how virtualization interacts with the basic forensic process, describing the methods used to find virtualization artifacts in dead and live environments as well as identifying the virtual activities that affect the examination process. Part III address advanced virtualization issues, such as the challenges of virtualized environments, cloud computing, and the future of virtualization. After reading this book, you'll be equipped to conduct investigations in these environments with confidence.

• Gives you the end-to-end knowledge needed to identify server, desktop, and portable virtual environments, including: VMware, Parallels, Microsoft, and Sun
• Covers technological advances in virtualization tools, methods, and issues in digital forensic investigations
• Explores trends and emerging technologies surrounding virtualization technology

虛擬化為法醫調查帶來了新的困難挑戰。運行在虛擬化環境中的操作系統和應用程序往往留下很少的痕跡，提供的證據不足以進行調查。

《虛擬化與法醫學》深入探討了虛擬化環境的世界以及它們對法醫調查的影響。第一部分解釋了虛擬化的過程和不同類型的虛擬化環境。第二部分詳細介紹了虛擬化與基本法醫過程的交互作用，描述了在死亡和活動環境中尋找虛擬化藝術品的方法，以及識別影響檢查過程的虛擬活動。第三部分涉及高級虛擬化問題，如虛擬化環境的挑戰、雲計算和虛擬化的未來。閱讀本書後，您將能夠自信地在這些環境中進行調查。

本書提供了全面的知識，幫助您識別服務器、桌面和便攜式虛擬環境，包括：VMware、Parallels、Microsoft和Sun。它還涵蓋了虛擬化工具、方法和數字法醫調查中的問題的技術進展。同時探討了圍繞虛擬化技術的趨勢和新興技術。
