Overview of this book

Discover how to perform a complete forensic investigation of large-scale Hadoop clusters using the same tools and techniques employed by forensic experts. This book begins by taking you through the process of forensic investigation and the pitfalls to avoid. It will walk you through Hadoop’s internals and architecture, and you will discover what types of information Hadoop stores and how to access that data. You will learn to identify Big Data evidence using techniques to survey a live system and interview witnesses. After setting up your own Hadoop system, you will collect evidence using techniques such as forensic imaging and application-based extractions. You will analyze Hadoop evidence using advanced tools and techniques to uncover events and statistical information. Finally, data visualization and evidence presentation techniques are covered to help you properly communicate your findings to any audience.

Introduction


In this chapter, we will focus on recipes to create and configure AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) against typical network infrastructure requirements. VPCs help you isolate AWS EC2 resources, and this feature is available in all AWS regions. A VPC can span multiple availability zones in a region. AWS VPC also helps you run hybrid applications on AWS by extending your existing datacenter into the public cloud. Disaster recovery is another common use case for using AWS VPC. You can create subnets, routing tables, and internet gateways in VPC. By creating public and private subnets, you can put your web and frontend services in the public subnet, while your application databases and backed services are located in a private subnet. Using VPN, you can extend your on-premise data center. Another option to extend your on-premise datacenter is AWS Direct Connect, which is a private network connection between AWS and your on-premise datacenter. In VPC, EC2 resources get static private...
