Cryptocurrency Forensics and Investigation using Open Source Intelligence Techniques (OSINT)

The financial industry has been evolving more quickly than most of us anticipated. As digital currencies gain popularity, both new opportunities and hazards are emerging. Cryptocurrencies are no longer a fringe idea; they are now a component of international investment, business, and, regrettably, criminal activity. Investigators and legal experts can help with that. Untangling intricate transactions, tracking digital footprints, and maintaining system integrity are all urgently needed.

Cryptocurrency Forensics and Investigation Using Open Source Tools and Techniques is a two-volume series that was written for such reason. It is intended to be a useful, hands-on resource for people who wish to learn about and research bitcoin activity using openly accessible tools.

The fundamentals are covered in Volume I, including the essential ideas, open source resources, and fundamental techniques, how criminals operate in crypto space, working on privacy coins and more you'll need to begin going. From there, Volume II delves into more complex methods such as tracking assets across many blockchains, identifying trends, and studying actual case studies.
