Textul de pe ultima copertă

Master the techniques for gathering electronic evidence and explore the new frontier of crime investigation.  
 
The demand for computer forensics experts greatly exceeds the supply. With the rapid growth of technology in all parts of our lives, criminal activity must be tracked down and investigated using electronic methods that require up-to-date techniques and knowledge of the latest software tools. Authors Linda Volonino, Jana Godwin, and Reynaldo Anzaldua share their expertise to give you the legal, technical, and investigative skills you need to launch your career in computer forensics. You can also use Computer Forensics: Principles and Practices  to help you advance in careers such as criminal justice, accounting, law enforcement, and federal investigation.
 
Computer Forensics: Principles and Practicesgives you in-depth understanding of:
  • Using the correct investigative tools and procedures to maximize effectiveness of evidence gathering.
  • Keeping evidence in pristine condition so it will be admissible in a legal action.
·         Investigating large-scale attacks such as identity theft, fraud, phishing, extortion, and malware infections.
  • The legal foundations for proper handling of traditional and electronic evidence such as the Federal Rules of Evidence and Procedure as well as the Fourth Amendment and other laws regarding search warrants and civil rights.
  • Practical tools such as FTK, EnCase, Passware, Ethereal, LADS, WinHex, GIMP, Camouflage, and Snort.
 
This book is filled with tools to help you move beyond simply learning concepts and help you apply them. These tools include:
·         In Practice tutorials: Apply concepts and learn by doing.
·         Exercises and Projects: Assignments show you how to employ your new skills. 
  • Case Studies: Apply what you learn in real-world scenarios.
 
The companion Web site (www.prenhall.com/security) includes:
·         Additional testing materials and projects to reinforce book lessons.
·         Downloadable checklists and templates used in the book.
·         Links to additional topics and resources to assist you in your professional development.
 
 
 
 

Caracteristici

For introductory and intermediate courses in computer forensics, digital investigations, or computer crime investigations
  • By applying information systems, computer security, and criminal justice principles and practices to crime investigations and other legal actions, this text teaches students how to use forensically-sound methodologies and software to acquire admissible electronic evidence (e-evidence) with coverage of computer and email forensics, cell phone and IM forensics, and PDA and Blackberry forensics. 
Q. Would you like comprehensive coverage of forensics and hands-on exercises that students can actually perform?
  • A: Computer Forensics: Principles and Practice covers how to investigate crime scenes, intrusions, and hacker attacks—as well as how to gather and analyze digital evidence to discover the truth about what happened—with a comprehensive understanding and hands-on use of one of the most widely-used computer forensics software tools—EnCase.
  • Unlike other books that frustrate students and faculty by requiring use of operating systems they do not have access to, this book does not require arcane equipment to learn how to use computer forensics software.
Q. Does your current text neglect certain subject areas?
  • A: Computer Forensics: Principles and Practices covers three key areas—computer technology, recognized investigative techniques, and legal issues. Without an understanding of these three areas, mistakes will be made that could have alarming consequences. with or tainted.
Q. Do you want students to develop the necessary expertise, ethical responsibility, and diverse skill set of a computer forensics investigator?
  • A. Students learn the technical expertise needed to gather, filter, and authenticate e-evidence for use in court or legal actions with knowledge of relevant laws regarding civil rights, search warrants, and rules of evidence.
Other Points of Differentiation
  • Introduction to digital investigations with concepts, terminology and issues, in addition to practical skills in multiple types of computer, Internet, and digital device forensics.
    - Provides students with a strong foundation in electronic evidence collection and handling, chain of custody, documentation, testifying as an expert witness, and surviving harsh cross-examination.
