The writers, Dr. Michael Spreitzenbarth and Dr. Johann Uhrmann, have used their experience to craft this hands-on guide to using Python for forensic analysis and investigations
What You Will Learn
Explore the forensic analysis of different platforms such as Windows, Android, and vSphere
Semi-automatically reconstruct major parts of the system activity and time-line
Leverage Python ctypes for protocol decoding
Examine artifacts from mobile, Skype, and browsers
Discover how to utilize Python to improve the focus of your analysis
Investigate in volatile memory with the help of volatility on the Android and Linux platforms
In Detail
Digital forensic analysis is the process of examining and extracting data digitally and examining it. Python has the combination of power, expressiveness, and ease of use that makes it an essential complementary tool to the traditional, off-the-shelf digital forensic tools.
This book will teach you how to perform forensic analysis and investigations by exploring the capabilities of various Python libraries.
The book starts by explaining the building blocks of the Python programming language, especially ctypes in-depth, along with how to automate typical tasks in file system analysis, common correlation tasks to discover anomalies, as well as templates for investigations. Next, we'll show you cryptographic algorithms that can be used during forensic investigations to check for known files or to compare suspicious files with online services such as VirusTotal or Mobile-Sandbox.
Moving on, you'll learn how to sniff on the network, generate and analyze network flows, and perform log correlation with the help of Python scripts and tools. You'll get to know about the concepts of virtualization and how virtualization influences IT forensics, and you'll discover how to perform forensic analysis of a jailbroken/rooted mobile device that is based on iOS or Android.
Finally, the book teaches you how to analyze volatile memory and search for known malware samples based on YARA rules.
Style and approach
This easy-to-follow guide will demonstrate forensic analysis techniques by showing you how to solve real-word-scenarios step by step.

PS : If You got an error while extracting while others are working try diferent directory path in your PC. Somtimes if you got a long directory path while extracting it will giv you an error. To solve this issue , as an example just paste the tgz file in C drive and extract (just inside the C drive not with in any other folder). Hope your Understand
