Synopsis

Game consoles have evolved to become complex computer systems that may contain evidence to assist in a criminal investigation. From networking capabilities to chat, voicemail, streaming video and email, the game consoles of today are unrecognizable from complex computer systems. With over 10 million XBOX 360s sold in the United States the likelihood that a criminal investigator encounters an XBOX 360 is a certainty. The digital forensics community has already begun to receive game consoles for examination, but there is no map for them to follow as there may be with other digital media. XBOX 360 Forensics provides that map and present the information for the examiners in an easy to read, easy to read format.

From the Back Cover

Because the XBOX 360 is no longer just a video game console ― it streams movies, connects with social networking sites and chatrooms, transfer 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 call upon to assist them in their examinations is imperative.
