Sebastopol, CA—The iPhone has quickly become a marketing leader in mobile technology, finding its way into the corporate world and the everyday lives of millions of end users. Its wide range of functionality, combined with its "always on" design, make it an ideal functional, mobile office. "The cost of this productivity is the danger of storing sensitive data on the device," cautions Jonathan Zdziarski, author of the newly released iPhone Forensics (O'Reilly, US $39.99). "Any given iPhone is likely to contain sensitive information belonging to its owner, and some types of information that may belong to others: corporate email, documents, and photos, to name a few.
"As the dark side of such a versatile device becomes more evident," Zdziarski adds, "so does the need to recover personal information from it."
In iPhone Forensics, Zdziarski supplies the knowledge necessary to conduct complete and highly specialized forensic analysis of the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch. Intended for lawful forensic examination of devices by corporate security officers, law enforcement personnel, and private forensic examiners, the book introduces readers to digital forensics and outlines the technical procedures needed to recover low-level data from the iPhone. Federal, state, and multinational agencies have helped to test and verify the procedures outlined in the book, and that information is now available for the private sector.
This book helps you:
iPhone Forensics includes techniques used by more than 200 law enforcement agencies worldwide, and is a must-have for any corporate compliance and disaster recovery plan.
"This book is a must for anyone attempting to examine the iPhone. The level of forensic detail is excellent. If only all guides to forensics were written with this clarity!" Andrew Sheldon, Director of Evidence Talks, computer forensics expert.
