I have over 100 books in my library dealing with information security, communication systems design, criminal investigations, penetration testing (hacking), and computer crime investigation (cyber forensics) but this book leads the pack. I've actually purchased several for my friends who work in cyber forensics at the local/state/federal levels in law enforcement and those who work in corporate America. This book is soooo good because it covers what REALLY happens out in the field during a computer crime investigation (including entire chapters on what to bring, how to plan, who to work with, etc). Also included are entire chapters dedicated to various tools and step by step instructions on how to use them. I've done my research and Bruce Middleton (the author) has been in the computer crime field for decades working forensics investigations before it was even called forensics. He began is investigative work with computers back in the early 70's with NSA and DoD. Today he is still an outstanding writer, speaker and investigator in the forensics world, working with corporations, government agencies, law enforcement, and our military. This book is hard hitting and really tells it like it is. Great for both novices and those with experience.
