The Computer Forensic Series by EC-Council provides the knowledge and skills to identify, track, and prosecute the cyber-criminal. The series is comprised of five books covering a broad base of topics in Computer Hacking Forensic Investigation, designed to expose the reader to the process of detecting attacks and collecting evidence in a forensically sound manner with the intent to report crime and prevent future attacks. Learners are introduced to advanced techniques in computer investigation and analysis with interest in generating potential legal evidence. In full, this and the other four books provide preparation to identify evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases as well as track the intrusive hacker's path through a client system. The series and accompanying labs help prepare the security student or professional to profile an intruder's footprint and gather all necessary information and evidence to support prosecution in a court of law. Network Intrusions and Cybercrime includes a discussion of tools used in investigations as well as information on investigating network traffic, web attacks, DOS attacks, Corporate Espionage and much more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Network Forensics book for college course?, January 5, 2010

This review is from: Computer Forensics: Investigating Network Intrusions and Cyber Crime (Ec-Council Press Series: Computer Forensics) (Paperback)

I bought this book to see how it would work as a textbook for a college course, as with many textbooks from Course Technology. My impression is that it can be used in a graduate level, but would fit more to field practioners who already have enough networking and systems knowledge. Eachh chapter lists many tools (almost as laundry-list like) with brief descriptions and screen shots, but not enough detail for those who want to learn more about them. Most chapters (not all) provide Hands-On projects but most of those projects stay in superficial level, asking to download toolX and click menuY to capture trafficZ, but void with indepth analysis.
However, this book can work well as a reference book for network forensic analyst. Since there are not yet many good college textbooks on Network Forensics (AFAIK at the time of writing), this book is still worthwhile to have as a reference.
