The digital world has evolved very rapidly and is available to all. Nobody is lacking access to the internet. Seeking data, gathering information, and stalking someone is possible from anywhere in the world. But do you feel safe on every site you’ve reached? We don’t have a say in this. But we know that many sites aren’t like how we see them. Most of the time that can be a setup that was prepared by someone. Many companies run 24x7 and that’s a lot of data they store on their websites. In the book, "Conquer Anti-Forensics, we will learn all these things. Some of the data is related to the company and most of the data relate to the customer they serve. Who would be responsible for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of that much data? A common man won’t be able to take responsibility for that data, not even your employees. But to whom we can approach such services? Is there any solution that is ready for us? Of course, there is! That’ll be ethical hacking. What is ethical hacking and why do we need it? We can go to that topic but we need to understand why we need them. There are many reasons why we need them. Many hackers use several means to hack someone else’s private system to target their data. Let’s suppose they have been able to trespass the local security wall that your system has. But what about the shreds of evidence they left behind while returning to the main point? You might not believe it but when you reach the point from, they steal that data, you won’t be able to get any evidence against them. Why so? That’s because they have used anti-digital forensics techniques. These kinds of techniques help them to cover their tracks, alter, and delete before the forensics investigators can investigate something. Evading network security E & launching attacks without getting detected isn’t hard for them. Now, there are the questions. What are anti-forensic techniques? Who uses them? On whom does it get used? And how does this happen? There may be many questions regarding these techniques, and we’re going to answer them one by one. Here you will find about the anti-digital forensics techniques, and how to conquer them. In this book, you will be introduced to how hackers deceive forensics experts with many techniques to hide evidence, re-write the formats of docs, and change the material. Students will get full disclosure of how hacking changes the scenario, and how ethical hackers stop fraudsters from getting barged into their systems. This book is written to guide students through various methods in the easiest and simplest ways to learn hacking techniques. Anti-forensics can be misleading but ethical hacking won't let the unethical hackers leave unscathed. The syllabus is distributed in a manner that is understandable to students & clients. Chapters are placed systematically to prepare a smooth part for students to learn. Other than that, the language used in this book is simpler and easy to understand. That’s just to guide the students properly with logic and evidence. With this guide, the students will be able to understand the theoretical knowledge and will be able to explore new techniques. This book follows the global techniques that are used to secure networks and servers from unethical hackers. Malicious programs, malware, viruses, and bots can get into the system, and make loopholes for hackers to get the data leaked. Time will flee and you won’t be able to detect where the data leaked from & where did it go. Now, we’ll m continue to the main chapters, and read about anti-forensic techniques and the techniques to subdue them. Anti-Forensics is more than technology. It is an approach to criminal hacking that can be summed up like this: Make it hard for them to find you to prove they found you.

Photographic imagery has come a long way from the pinhole cameras of the nineteenth century. Digital imagery, and its applications, develops in tandem with contemporary society’s sophisticated literacy of this subtle medium. This book examines the ways in which digital images have become ever more ubiquitous as legal and medical evidence, just as they have become our primary source of news and have replaced paper-based financial documentation. Crucially, the contributions also analyze the very profound problems which have arisen alongside the digital image, issues of veracity and progeny that demand systematic and detailed response: It looks real, but is it? What camera captured it? Has it been doctored or subtly altered? Attempting to provide answers to these slippery issues, the book covers how digital images are created, processed and stored before moving on to set out the latest techniques for forensically examining images, and finally addressing practical issues such as courtroom admissibility. In an environment where even novice users can alter digital media, this authoritative publication will do much so stabilize public trust in these real, yet vastly flexible, images of the world around us.
