Once relegated to the Dark Web and used primarily for illicit activities, virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are now being used as investments and in more mainstream transactions. As major banks keep close watch, these currencies are gaining ground, with all signs pointing toward expansion in use and accessibility. There is currently $150 billion in circulating cryptocurrency, with $3 billion changing hands daily--yet none of this can be traced by normal means. \u003ci\u003eInvestigating Cryptocurrencies\u003c\/i\u003e provides cyber and financial investigators with the necessary background, techniques, and methodologies to break through the blockchain \"lockdown\" and investigate crimes involving cryptocurrency transactions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlobally recognized cybersecurity and forensics expert Nick Furneaux demystifies blockchain technology and gives investigators who are entering this new playing field practical guidance. By linking the familiar investigative workflow with essential tools and techniques that are specific to cryptocurrency forensics, Furneaux has compiled a complete playbook for all major stages of an investigation. Topics discussed in this book include cryptocurrency detection, blockchain visualization, address and transaction extraction, micromessage detection, and much more. Real-world tools and techniques give readers insight into the practices used by criminals. With cryptocurrencies rapidly advancing into the mainstream and bringing outside crime into the cybersecurity realm, this book provides the critical information that forensics professionals will need to remain effective as currency moves online. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith step-by-step instruction bolstered by in-depth explanations and expert perspective, Investigating Cryptocurrencies will help you: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop a deeper understanding of blockchain and transaction technologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSet up and run a cryptocurrency account\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccess raw data on blockchain ledgers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrack transactions and build information on specific addresses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify the real-world users behind a transaction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand \"coin\" seizure methodology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse appropriate technology and techniques during investigations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNICK FURNEAUX\u003c\/b\u003e is a cybersecurity and forensics consultant specializing in cybercrime prevention and investigation for law enforcement and corporations throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
