Handbook of Computer Crime Investigation

Following on the success of his introductory text, Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, Eoghan Casey brings together a few top experts to create the first detailed guide for professionals who are already familiar with digital evidence. The Handbook of Computer Crime Investigation helps readers master the forensic analysis of computer systems with a three-part approach covering tools, technology, and case studies.

The Tools section provides the details on leading software programs, with each chapter written by that product's creator. The section ends with an objective comparison of the strengths and limitations of each tool.

The main Technology section provides the technical "how to" information for collecting and analyzing digital evidence in common situations, starting with computers, moving on to networks, and culminating with embedded systems. The Case Examples section gives readers a sense of the technical, legal, and practical challenges that arise in real computer investigations.

Computers can be used in virtually any type of crime, ranging from cyberstalking and child pornography to financial fraud, espionage, and terrorism. The Handbook of Computer Crime Investigation presents detailed technical information that can be used to help solve these crimes by showing you how to locate evidence in today's high-tech crime scenes. Following on the success of his introductory text, Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, Eoghan Casey brings together several top experts to create the first detailed guide for professionals who are already familiar with digital evidence. The Handbook helps readers master the forensic analysis of computer systems with a three-part approach:
The Tools section provides details on leading hardware and software programs, including an objective comparison of the strengths and limitations of each tool.
The main Technology section provides the technical "how to" instructions for collecting and analyzing digital evidence in common situations, starting with computers, moving on to networks, wireless, and embedded systems.
The Case Examples section gives readers a sense of the technical, legal, and practical challenges that arise in real computer investigations. Professionals in computer forensics, law enforcement, and criminal justice will rely on the Handbook as their technical guide for solving all types of computer-related crime.
