This textbook introduces digital forensics, an essential field for crime-solving. It comprises 21 chapters, each focusing on a specific forensic topic divided into two parts: background knowledge and hands-on practice. Each theoretical section ends with review questions to assess students’ understanding, while practice exercises allow them to apply the concepts learned. The hands-on approach is designed to enhance students' comprehension of digital forensics through practical experience in collecting and preserving digital evidence. With 20 inquiry-based exercises, students will gain insights into digital forensic concepts and investigation techniques. Aimed at upper undergraduate and graduate students in digital-forensic courses or research, it also serves as a valuable reference for digital forensics practitioners, IT security analysts, and security engineers in the IT security industry, particularly those involved in digital investigations and incident handling.
