The phenomenon of cybercrimes or crimes committed on the Internet has constituted the need of developing the science of Digital Forensics. Computers Forensics and Networks Forensics constitute two branches of Digital Forensics, which play an important role in case of such a crime occurs, as important information can be extracted from them, used later as digital evidence. Investigating network traffic, meaning investigating packets that travel across the Internet is a valuable aspect in case of analyzing applications, such as VoIP applications, as special information can be found. This book provides you with the necessary skills to identify an intruder's footprints and to gather the necessary digital evidence in a forensically sound manner to prosecute in a court of law Directed toward users with no experience in the digital forensics field, this book provides guidelines and best practices when conducting investigations as well as teaching you how to use a variety of tools to investigate computer crime. The text contains thorough coverage of the theoretical foundations, explaining what computer forensics is, what it can do, and also what it can't. A particular focus is presented on establishing sound forensic thinking and methodology, supported by practical guidance on performing typical tasks and using common forensic tools. It provides deep information about the various concepts and theories related to this field. It is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further. The scope of this book is to watch what and if any content can be revealed while someone investigates network traffic, meaning doing packet sniffing, with a special monitoring and analyzing tool, Wireshark.
