Product Review
is intended to five computer users in the business, government, and education communities, a basic technical competency in computer forensics, which essentially involves the identification, retrieval, and protection of electronic evidence found on computers for litigation and prosecution. Topics addressed in the first section include investigation basics, policies, standards, laws, and legal processes; types of crimes and incidents involved in computer forensics; the computing environment ant types of evidence; and investigative tools, technical training, and forensic equipment. The second half of the text focuses on evidence collection and management and includes chapters on managing the crime/incident scene, investigating computer center incidents, computer systems disks and the file structures, the computer and electronic forensic lab, extracting computer and electronic evidence, e-mail and Internet investigations, mobile phone and PDA investigations, and court presentations and testimony. Where thetopics are nation-specific (laws, regulations, and such), the material is geared towards a US readership.

Book Description
Computer Forensics: Evidence Collection and Management examines cyber-crime, E-commerce, and Internet activities that could be used to exploit the Internet, computers, and electronic devices. The book focuses on the numerous vulnerabilities and threats that are inherent on the Internet and networking environments and presents techniques and suggestions for corporate security personnel, investigators, and forensic examiners to successfully identify, retrieve, and protect valuable forensic evidence for litigation and prosecution.
The book is divided into two major parts for easy reference. The first part explores various crimes, laws, policies, forensic tools, and the information needed to understand the underlying concepts of computer forensic investigations. The second part presents information relating to crime scene investigations and management, disk and file structure, laboratory construction and functions, and legal testimony. Separate chapters focus on investigations involving computer systems, e-mail, and wireless devices.
Presenting information patterned after technical, legal, and managerial classes held by computer forensic professionals from Cyber Crime Summits held at Kennesaw State University in 2005 and 2006, this book is an invaluable resource for those who want to be both efficient and effective when conducting an investigation.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is a great survey of the field of computer forensics. There are notable gaps in actual technical detail, and more information than I was ready to digest on the handling of the data once acquired -- mostly the legal hoop-jumping required to maintain chain-of-custody. If you're a techie looking for a HowTo, keep looking. If you've already got a grasp of the how, but need the fine details of handling, this book is a good reference tome.
