Organizations today face an ever-growing threat of cyber crime and security violations. These attacks can occur internally as well as from an external source and include fraud, copyright infringement, and stolen data. Computer Forensics: Computer Crime Scene Investigation, Third Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to computer forensics investigative techniques. The reader will gain the knowledge and skills required to conduct a computer forensics investigation from initial discovery to completion. The reader will also learn how to exploit their organization's Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT); collect, manage and record digital evidence; and leverage powerful software tools and techniques to uncover hidden or deleted information. Approximately 25% of the book is dedicated to hands-on exercises. Employing the latest software forensic tools contained in the CD in the back of the book, users will be able to capture disk images, undelete files, search memory in real-time for hidden data, and discover compromised machines. Much has changed in the realm of information security and computer forensics since the previous edition, so the book has been completely updated to cover advances in the field.
