Digital Forensics
by Andr RnesThe definitive text for students of digital forensics, as well as professionals looking to deepen their understanding of an increasingly critical field Written by faculty members and associates of the world-renowned Norwegian Information Security Laboratory (NisLab) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), this textbook takes a scientific approach to digital forensics ideally suited for university courses in digital forensics and information security. Each chapter was written by an accomplished expert in his or her field, many of them with extensive experience in law enforcement and industry. The author team comprises experts in digital forensics, cybercrime law, information security and related areas. Digital forensics is a key competency in meeting the growing risks of cybercrime, as well as for criminal investigation generally. Considering the astonishing pace at which new information technology – and new ways of exploiting information technology – is brought on line, researchers and practitioners regularly face new technical challenges, forcing them to continuously upgrade their investigatory skills. Designed to prepare the next generation to rise to those challenges, the material contained in Digital Forensics has been tested and refined by use in both graduate and undergraduate programs and subjected to formal evaluations for more than ten years. Encompasses all aspects of the field, including methodological, scientific, technical and legal matters Based on the latest research, it provides novel insights for students, including an informed look at the future of digital forensics Includes test questions from actual exam sets, multiple choice questions suitable for online use and numerous visuals, illustrations and case example images Features real-word examples and scenarios, including court cases and technical problems, as well as a rich library of academic references and references to online media Digital Forensics is an excellent introductory text for programs in computer science and computer engineering and for master degree programs in military and police education. It is also a valuable reference for legal practitioners, police officers, investigators, and forensic practitioners seeking to gain a deeper understanding of digital forensics and cybercrime.
Cyber Investigations
by André ÅrnesCYBER INVESTIGATIONS A classroom tested introduction to cyber investigations with real-life examples included Cyber Investigations provides an introduction to the topic, an overview of the investigation process applied to cyber investigations, a review of legal aspects of cyber investigations, a review of Internet forensics and open-source intelligence, a research-based chapter on anonymization, and a deep-dive in to multimedia forensics. The content is structured in a consistent manner, with an emphasis on accessibility for students of computer science, information security, law enforcement, and military disciplines. To aid in reader comprehension and seamless assimilation of the material, real-life examples and student exercises are provided throughout, as well as an Educational Guide for both teachers and students. The material has been classroom-tested and is a perfect fit for most learning environments. Written by a highly experienced author team with backgrounds in law enforcement, academic research, and industry, sample topics covered in Cyber Investigations include: The cyber investigation process, including developing an integrated framework for cyber investigations and principles for the integrated cyber investigation process (ICIP) Cyber investigation law, including reasonable grounds to open a criminal cyber investigation and general conditions for privacy-invasive cyber investigation methods Perspectives of internet and cryptocurrency investigations, including examples like the proxy seller, the scammer, and the disgruntled employee Internet of things (IoT) investigations, including types of events leading to IoT investigations and new forensic challenges in the field Multimedia forensics facilitates the understanding of the role of multimedia in investigations, including how to leverage similarity matching, content-based tracing, and media metadata. Anonymization networks discusses how such networks work, and how they impact investigations? It addresses aspects of tracing, monitoring, evidence acquisition, de-anonymization, and large investigations Based on research, teaching material, experiences, and student feedback over several years, Cyber Investigations is ideal for all students and professionals in the cybersecurity industry, providing comprehensive subject coverage from faculty, associates, and former students of cyber security and digital forensics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

To the right of the factory is a car seen from the side, which is also emitting polluting gases. At the bottom centre of the page there is a lake. To the right of this is a snow-capped mountain with two trees which are growing on its slope. Rain is falling from the clouds on the top right of the image into the lake and onto the mountain slope. There are text labels describing features and processes in the diagram. The objects in the diagram are not shown to scale. All chemical symbols use the 2008 version of the UK braille science code.

Active transport (large print)
by RnibThese pages show diagrams of different types of active transport. It is a multi-page image set on three pages. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Active transport, transport protein: There are three diagrams on the page, each surrounded by a dashed image border. The transport protein is circular with a rounded recess in it. It is embedded in the cell membrane. In the first image it has got hold of a round molecule. In the second image it rotates taking the molecule into the cell. In the last image it returns to the original position, ready for a new molecule. The transport protein requires energy to do this work. Active transport, respiration: This page has a simple curved line graph. It shows that as the rate of active transport increases (Y-axis), the rate of respiration also increases (x-axis). Active transport, concentration gradient: This page shows a diagram of some plant roots shown in a cross section of soil. It is surrounded by a dashed line image border. Mineral ions are represented by small open circles. The concentration of ions in the root is higher than in the soil showing that active transport has moved the ions against a concentration gradient.
