Perl Scripting for Windows Security

I decided to write this book for a couple of reasons. One of the books that I have been reading and writing. Okay.I'll come clean.I used nothing but Perl in both books! What I've seen, but do not know how. I'm not familiar with Perl, with interpreted (or scripting) languages in general, and may not be completely comfortable with running tools at the command line.

This book is intended for use. It is for the purpose of the application of the forensic analysis, and application monitoring. While in a thorough grounding in scripting languages (or in Perl specifically) This book contains MS Windows systems (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and some Vista). My hope is that they are not only will consultants, such as administrators, law enforcement officers, and students in undergraduate and graduate programs focusing on computer forensics.

* Perl Scripting for Live Response

Using Perl, there is a great deal of information, as part of troubleshooting or investigating an issue. Perl scripts can be run in a system that can be 'compiled' into standalone executables using PAR, PerlApp, or Perl2Exe so do not have ActiveState's Perl distribution (or any other Perl distribution) installed.

* Perl Scripting for Computer Forensic Analysis

Perl is an extremely useful and powerful tool for computer forensic analysis. While there are applications available, there is a special examiner working on a specific case. This is the use of Perl really shines through and becomes apparent.

* Perl Scripting for Application Monitoring

Working with enterprise-level Windows applications requires a great deal of analysis and constant monitoring. Automating the monitoring of your application, reduce the system downtimes. By utilizing Perl scripts and integrating them with the application of technology, you can alert us to current or future application issues.
