Given our increasing dependency on computing technology in daily business processes, and the growing opportunity to use engineering technologies to engage in illegal, unauthorized, and unethical acts aimed at corporate infrastructure, every organization is at risk. Cyber Forensics: A Field Manual for Collecting, Examining, and Preserving Evidence of Computer Crimes provides a comprehensive, highly usable, and clearly organized resource to the issues, tools, and control techniques needed to successfully investigate illegal activities perpetuated through the use of information technology.

Traditional forensics professionals use fingerprints, DNA typing, and ballistics analysis to make their case. Infosec professionals have to develop new tools for collecting, examining, and evaluating data in an effort to establish intent, culpability, motive, means, methods and loss resulting from e-crimes. The field bible for infosecurity professionals, this book introduces you to the broad field of cyber forensics and presents the various tools and techniques designed to maintain control over your organization.

You will understand how to:

Identify inappropriate uses of corporate IT

Examine computing environments to identify and gather electronic evidence of wrongdoing

Secure corporate systems from further misuse

Identify individuals responsible for engaging in inappropriate acts taken with or without corporate computing systems

Protect and secure electronic evidence from intentional or accidental modification or destruction

Cyber Forensics: A Field Manual for Collecting, Examining, and Preserving Evidence of Computer Crimes provides a set of varied resources for anyone required to look under the hood and behind closed doors of a virtual world to gather evidence and to establish credible audit trails of electronic wrong doing. Knowing how to identify, gather, document, and preserve evidence of electronic tampering and misuse makes reading this book and using the forensic audit procedures it discusses essential to protecting corporate assets.

And I would imagine that if you are buying this book you are not doing so out of fun. Good luck in your future courses and posit

ByT.C.on April 29, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I only ordered this book because I was told I have to have it. Most of the time I find the books to be cheaper on Amazon than with the school or their book stores. Make sure you shop before using the schools to obtain the materials you need to complete your courses. This is a college book that I had to order to fulfill my class work. The book provided the information I needed to complete the entire task assigned by the facilitator. To most people there will be nothing special about this book. And I would imagine that if you are buying this book you are not doing so out of fun. Good luck in your future courses and positions. May all your classes bring you much knowledge.

Thorough and suitable for the experienced professional

ByMike TarraniHALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERon April 13, 2002

Format: Paperback

This book is an excellent follow-on book to Computer Forensics: Incident Response Essentials by Kruse and Heiser, which introduces the fundamentals. This book goes much deeper and is more technical than the Kruse and Heise, therefore the ideal audience is practicing professionals who have prior experience in forensics and a wide range of hardware, software and network knowledge.
Tools and techniques are presented in painstaking detail. I was unable to find a single gap or omission, which speaks highly of the editorial and review process behind this book's 464 pages. While most technical disciplines can dispense with finer details, the nature of forensics is to overlook nothing. If you find the step-by-step thoroughness boring that is an indication that forensics may not be your forte; if you're an experienced professional you'll appreciate the coverage of every technique or use of tools.

While the discussion of tools and techniques will satisfy even the most experienced practitioner, I found the detailed discussion of legal aspects, HR considerations and overall security and incident response processes to be the book's strongest points. This area is what sets forensics experts apart from technicians, and it is here that the book (in my opinion) adds the most value. Procedures ranging from how to properly gather, preserve and control evidence, to legal considerations for designing processes are covered in clear language, as are US and international legal guidelines.
Parts that I especially like include: intrusion management and profiling, up-to-date information on electronic commerce legal issues, the numerous checklists and cited resources, and the clearly delineated process for dealing with incidents.
If you're new to forensics you will probably get more from this book by first reading Computer Forensics: Incident Response Essentials by Kruse and Heiser. If, however, you have previous computer forensics experience or are currently serving in that role this book is probably one of the best investments you can make.

DONT BUY THIS 1ST (2002) EDITION! THERE IS A 2ND (2007) EDITION!

ByT. Alberson June 17, 2009

I didn't want to influence the overall rating of the book, so I gave it 3 stars. Can't give 2 1/2.

THIS IS THE 1ST EDITION PUBLISHED IN 2002!!!!!! THERE IS A NEW VERSION (PUBLISHED DECEMBER 2007) AVAILABLE!!!

I have notified Amazon of this and I am sure they will address it as soon as they can. However, I didn't want someone else to buy it and receive a different edition than what they expected. If you do want the 1st edition then go ahead and order away. But, if you want the 2nd edition, Amazon does sell it also.

Same title, Same authors, Same publisher, Different edition

Historically Superb

ByJ. Thomason June 29, 2002

Format: Paperback

I was looking for a book that would teach me how to do things. I can find lots of information on the internet, but I wanted techniques collaborated in one book by a professional. What I found was a lot of legal background, and historical background. I am not starting a computer forensics firm, but I do want to be able to track down, if some sort of mishap occurs. This book provides low level information, like dissecting Netscape, and going through and showing you how to track someone's steps through Netscape Navigator. I wanted some more practical knowledge that I could use to fight spammers, or to show me how to deal with intrusions on my system. I was disappointed with this book, but I hope that you won't be.
