Databases have been around since the 1960s and have been an integral part of our daily life - from cell phones to DVD players. However, very few people have very deep understanding of how databases worked and how it is used.
While conducting an SQL server investigation, it is important that the investigator has a solid understanding of databases. If not, disastrous circumstances can happen such as hampering the analysis during an investigation and collecting limited evidences. Furthermore, if you are to testify in court, unable to demonstrate your expertise and findings due to limited SQL database knowledge could ruin your reputation as a computer forensic investigation and your investigation findings.
This book will better prepare you with not just the technical but hands-on practice on conducting SQL forensic investigations. It provides in-depth view on collection and preservation of database artefacts, how you can detect unauthorised access or modifications of records, thereby retracing the footsteps and actions of the intruder. The book will also touch on the topic of building a SQL server incident response toolkit.
A wide audience is in mind when writing this book. Digital forensics investigators, information security analysts, managers and auditors, database administrator and law enforcements officials.
There is even a free online edition with purchase of this book.
