Xbox 360 Forensics: A Digital Forensics Guide to Examining Artifacts

"A very timely reference for forensic examiners, with a wealth of tools and processes for all aspects of the XBOX console. The author takes a unique approach of not just relaying details, but guiding the reader along a forensic adventure to explore the XBOX 360."---Brian Baskin, Senior Consultant, cmdLABS>

Because the XBOX 360 is no longer just a video game console---it streams movies, connects with social networking sites and chatrooms, transfers files, and more---it just may contain evidence to assist in your next criminal investigation. The digital forensics community has already begun to receive game consoles for examination, but there is currently no map for you to follow as there may be with other digital media. XBOX 360 Forensics provides that map and presents the information in an easy to read, easy to reference format, from the author of the first whitepaper on XBOX investigations. As cyber crime continues to plague society, the need for the cyber crime investigative community to have resources to assist them in their examinations is imperative
