Computer crime has shifted from a game of disruption to one of access. The
hacker’s focus has shifted too, from developing destructive payloads to
circumventing detection. Now, for every tool forensic investigators have
come to rely on to discover and prosecute electronic crimes, criminals have
a corresponding tool to baffle the investigation.

This is antiforensics. It is more than technology. It is an approach to
criminal hacking that can be summed up like this: Make it hard for them to
find you and impossible for them to prove they found you.
