Cell phones, cameras, PDAs, GPS devices, and other digital items are an investigator's treasure trove, frequently holding evidence or containing logs about communications concerning a crime. Designed to prepare investigators in the public and private sectors, this book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of investigating handheld digital devices and emphasizes the policies needed in the work environment. The author provides examples of commercially available digital forensic tools and discusses how to seize data, examine it, and prepare it as evidence for court.
