scripting, in particular on the
Windows platform, for the purpose of incident response, and forensic
analysis, and application
monitoring. While a thorough grounding in scripting languages (or in
Perl specifically) is not
required, it is helpful in fully and more completely understanding the
material and code
presented in this book. This book contains information that is useful to
consultants who perform
incident response and computer forensics, specifically as those
activities pertain to MS Windows
systems (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and some Vista). My hope is that not
only will consultants
(such as myself) find this material valuable, but so will system
administrators, law enforcement
officers, and students in undergraduate and graduate programs focusing
on computer forensics.
*Perl is the third most commonly used programming language in the world
*Helps security professionals in updating settings on a remote server
several cities away,
collecting data for a report to management, and more
*The companion Web site for the book contains dozens of scripts the
reader can download and
use today
