Conduct Cutting-Edge Forensic Investigations of Computer Crimes.

Whether it's phishing, bank fraud, or unlawful hacking, computer crimes are on the rise, and law enforcement personnel who investigate these crimes must learn how to properly gather forensic evidence in the computer age.

Now you can get the training you need in this comprehensive guide from two seasoned law enforcement professionals.

The book also covers the emerging field of “live forensics,” where investigators examine a system to obtain evidence while it is still running, thus preserving live data that may be lost if the system is shut down.

  Reader Reviews
  As a law enforcement officer, I've often found myself frustrated by books that cover incident response, but never discuss law enforcement involvement, except as an afterthought. While I understand that it's important for corporate and internal investigators to have this type of information, it's refreshing to find a book that talks about the law enforcement response to an computer crime incident. I've had the privilege of attending classes instructed by both of these authors. One of the things that impressed me about their classes is that they were able to break down complicated technical concepts into terms that cops can understand. They continue to do that in this book. Computer crime investigators need to add this book to their libraries. I'd say it's a must have.
