Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

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.

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.

This is the worst computer book I have read in a long time. If you already know about what data is, for names of different operating system keep looking. The only part of the this book that is about computer forensics is the part it says go to Devery University to learn the subject. Guess where the author teaches at?

This book was very boring but I had to buy it for class. The text was redundant and out of place. I found it hard to follow the ideas of the author because they didn't flow very well in the book. The author gave some examples that were too general and didn't really help me understand the objectives he was trying to teach. I didn't have any experience in computer forensics when I purchased this book so I did learn quite a bit. Even though it was painful to read, it does have use as a reference book.
