Forensic Computing: A Practitioner's Guide (Practitioner Series)
Product Description In this book, Tony Sammes and Brian Jenkinson show how information held in computer systems can be recovered and how it may be deliberately hidden or subverted for criminal purposes. "Forensic Computing: A Practitioner's Guide" is illustrated by plenty of case studies and worked examples, and will help practitioners and students gain a clear understanding of: * how to recover information from computer systems in such a way as to ensure that its integrity cannot be challenged and that it will be accepted as admissible evidence in court * the principles involved in password protection and data encryption * the evaluation procedures used in circumventing these safeguards * the particular legal issues associated with computer-generated evidence and how to ensure admissibility of such evidence. Book Info A text aimed at helping practitioners get to a level of technical understanding that would allow them to be able to use forensic computing analysis to search for, find, and present any form of digital document as evidence in court. Illustrated with case studies and worked examples. Softcover. DLC: Forensic engineering--Data processing. Reader Reviews If you are new to the Forensic game then this book might make good reading. A large portion of the book is on disk and data structure & geometry. This makes for interesting reading if you have not covered this before, but if you are an investigator, this will be 'old' and somewhat irrelevant news. Chapters include information on; * PDA/Electronic Organisers, * Search and seizure of PC's * A little on Network and encryption (informational reading only). Overall, not a book I would recommend for someone who has "been there, done that". From each book I read I expect find a little bit of information that is new to me, but unfortunately I went hungry on this one! I probably wouldn't call it a 'Practitioners Guide', but more of a 'beginners guide'. Comment | | (Report this)
