The Basics of Digital Forensics, 2nd Edition

Chapter 6

Anti-forensics

Abstract

Digital forensic success stories are becoming widely known. That has created a keen interest in obstructing these types of investigations. Some of these obstructive techniques are so effective that they can make recovering the information virtually impossible. This is of grave concern especially in the context of public safety. To combat these anti-forensics techniques, examiners must become familiar with the various ways to hide and destroy data. They must also master the tools and methods at their disposal to overcome anti-forensic efforts.
