Product Description

Review

From the reviews of the second edition: "This book was the product of an 'arms race'. ! It is now listed as the standard text around which all the Forensic Computing courses at Cranfield and some other universities are based. ! It is filled with good practical advice and is especially good on interpreting partition tables. ! All in all this is a useful ! guide to the discipline. ! Truly the forensic computing expert is living in interesting times." (Alikelman, June, 2009) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A beginners guide, Sep 12 2001
By 
Simon Wellborne (Wellington New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forensic Computing: A Practitioner's Guide (Paperback)
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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars In-depth look at NTFS, Jan 16 2010
By PC User - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forensic Computing (Hardcover)
This book covers NTFS at the byte level. It has tables and explanations that extremely useful for a course I was taking. I purchased most of the computer forensic books available but all the other books contained mere summaries of NTFS. This volume covers the nuts and bolts. Excellent book, need more like this.
