Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis: Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop On- WDFIA 2009

The field of digital forensics is rapidly evolving and continues to gain significance in both the law enforcement and the scientific community. Being intrinsically interdisciplinary, it draws upon a wide range of subject areas such as information & communication technologies, law, social sciences and business administration. With this in mind, the workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis (WDFIA) specifically addresses this multi-facetted aspect, with papers invited from the full spectrum of issues relating to digital forensics and incident analysis. This book represents the proceedings from the 2009 event, which was held in Athens, Greece. A total of 12 papers are included, spanning a range of topics including systems and network investigation, services and applications and supporting the forensic process. All of the papers were subject to double-blind peer review, with each being reviewed by at least two members of the international programme committee.
