Windows Digital Cyber-Crime Forensics Investigation 

This article mainly covers a lot about Windows Forensics in-depth and while there are other forensics for operating systems such as iOS, Mac OS and Linux. They’ve not specifically been covered here. There’s even malware analysis which is a broader topic covering each operating system, which I’ll make an article about soon as well. Nonetheless, I hope this article helps you understand more about Windows Forensics and helps you kick-start your journey in investigating cyber-crime in the Windows world.

Dangerous in The Air

Cybercriminals, often writing their software with skills, knowledge, and the ability to break into any network—some even funded by governments—are spying on countries, companies, and people for secrets, stealing billions of dollars through ransomware-type worms each time. More sophisticated criminals are demanding ransoms without any guarantee that those data will not be exposed or traded in parallel markets, such as the Deep Web and Mariana’s Web. This article covers security risks in wireless communication and Wi-Fi networks. Readers can gain insights into how to protect their wireless connections from threats.
