5 out of 5 stars Corporate Fraud Handbook.......2006-08-26

I truly enjoy this book and would recommend it to anyone in the profession or interested in becoming a part of it. While the book is very informative,including many facts and figures, it reads like one is having a session of "shop talk" with the author and telling war stories. I rarely have a hard time putting nonfiction down, but this book is truly a gem.

    5 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Book!!.......2002-04-07

    I've heard Bruce Middleton speak at international security conferences before and followed some of the articles he has written in the past on information security so when I noticed that he had written a book on investigating computer security incidents (CyberForensics), I knew it would be a great book to have. I was not disappointed. This is definitely a book for professionals in this field (like he says...it's a field book...something you take to the field with you for reference). Someone new to the field would also get alot out of the book if they have access to the professional level software he uses throughout the book (outstanding software from Guidance Software [EnCase], NTI [their computer forensics tool suite] and AccessData [their FTK = Forensics ToolKit] ). Even if you don't have the software currently and you want to break into this field, it's a great book to buy due to the fact that he goes into detail explaing various process, procedures, methodologies, etc that firmly relate to solving computer related crimes. I also understand that he is holding hands-on training classes with this software and using this book as the foundation. Bottom line...this book is an excellent "must have" for a CyberForensics professional working in the field and a great read for those wishing to break into this field.

    2 out of 5 stars Author should be a Tech Rep.......2002-03-27

    I've definately read better computer forensics books. 90% of the applications that the author recommends and describes how to use are not downloadable and cannot be purchased in a software store! All the links point to a 'contact a sales agent today!' This makes me ask, "Is Bruce a paid spokesperson for Forensics-Intl.com"
    Additionally the author goes from very basic information to very complex information, leaving out very important middle information. I've been working with computers for more than 17 years and if I found this book to be somewhat cryptic, a newbie isn't going to understand any of the critical information that he/she should know before attempting to perform any kind of computer forensics.

    5 out of 5 stars Cyber Crime Investigator's Field Guide.......2002-02-08

    I found this book to be fantastic. Whether you are an experienced investigator of computer network security incidents (as I am for government/military/commercial organizations) or a neophyte just getting into the field of computer forensics, this book takes you through everything you need to know. The chapter on how the author handles an investigation in detail from start to finish is great. I'm applying what I learned there already. The coverage of forensic tools such as EnCase and tools from NTI is great. He gives me step by step information on how to use these tools, which I really need because you can't remember everything to do with all the tools I am involved with. The various reference sections on web sites, tool sites, attack signatures, etc. has been extremly useful for me and various organizations I work with. It's great to have the DOJ Search & Seizure Guidelines in the book. Sure, I can go out to the DOJ website and after some searching find them, but it is difficult to work through all the various links, I can't take notes there, make underlines, etc. It's really nice to have these and other guidelines in a handy written reference. This is one book that goes with me and my team members whenever we leave for a client site. It has just about everything we need for reference purposes. The author calls it a field guide and that is just what it is. I highly recommend this book. Very practical. I just hope the author is going to write another book...no doubt we will pick it up.

    3 out of 5 stars A few good chapters.......2002-01-30

    I was disappointed with the Cyber Crime Investigator's Field Guide. Half of the book (Appendix G) is simply a printout of the US Department of Justice Search and Seizure Guidelines. Although the guidelines are required reading, one should not have to pay for information that is available for free on the Department of Justice Web site. Chapter 6 of the book is a series of questions and answers on various subjects. The questions and answers are valuable, but the overly brief answers do not provide readers with the rationale behind the answers.

    The book is not without merit, though; Chapter 9, "Case Study," describes the general course of action a forensic examiner should take when involved in a computer investigation. The author details what he does in the course of a general forensic investigation -- from the time he gets the call, to his ride from the airport to the client site, to the on-site pre-briefing, and beyond.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent insider information on attacking high-tech crime.......2003-05-03

    High-tech crime remains a rapidly growing global menace. Read this book if you are interested in learning the basics of this type of crime and the professional tools and techniques used against it. Written by security professionals, federal/local government and corporate managers should read this book to understand strategies and methods needed to protect public and private resources from high-tech attacks. I especially would expect federal and local managers to be familiar with and following the principles described in this book to protect taxpayer resources - and be aware of deficiencies and taking corrective action. Other readers will gain better security awareness and the steps businesses are taking (or should be taking!) to protect user/customer resources. After reading this book, I certainly have a better understanding of the difficulties my bank and credit union, for example, are facing to protect my money.

    5 out of 5 stars Read this book first and save keep sanity..........2000-04-06

    Whether you're a law enforcement or corporate security professional, this book is one you should not just read but thoroughly digest before stepping off the ledge into high tech crime investigation. I've had both the satisfaction and frustration of managing investigations in both worlds over the last 16 years and have experienced, first hand, the hazards and consequences that await the uninformed. If resources such as the High Technology Crime Investigators Handbook had been available when I first began working high tech crimes in 1981, I would have gratefully traded the experience for the knowledge. The book is invaluable in educating law enforcement in the interests and philosophy of private industry as well as educating corporate security professionals in meeting the litmus tests for law enforcement involvement and successful prosecution. If you could only choose one book on high-tech crime investigations, this is it. Whether you are a private investigator, in law enforcement, corporate security, criminal justice student or just interested in the topic, this book is the book to read first, a must read.

    1 out of 5 stars Waste of time.......2000-01-24

    After reading the reviews of the book, I was really looking forward for receiving it. However, it turned out to be a big disappointment. It may improve towards the end, but the first chapters were of so bad standard I gave up reading it.

    Don't have the book here right now so I can't tell the pages, but in the first few chapters I was told that acceptable use of fire arms (authors claim IT is just like fire arms as it can be used for good and bad) is a police killing an offender that might kill someone else (ever heard of the theory of deterrence?), that phreakers (i.e. those hacking telephone systems for free calls) are the major threat for global information infrastructure security, CERT archives are the major source of information for hackers, SATAN etc. (including outdated Crack) are significant hacker tools, WWW is just a number of screens connected to each other, being given only ping attack as an example of denial of service, spent pages on calculating how many books fit into hard drives of different sizes (Assumption was that a book contains almost 1000 pages, then it was reduced 500 pages, this book is around 300 pages), and was generally being subjected to a number of unjustified claims about computer crime and computer criminals that seem to be if not all wrong, at least so simple unlikely to educate anyone to understand crime in GII.

    As I said, the book may improve but I am not intending on finding out. The US centricity doesn't help, either. I'd rather get back to other sources of computer crime information that are more accurate and comprehensive.

    Luckily, there are a number of good books around. For an introduction to computer crime, I recommend Icove, Seger and VonStorch: Computer Crime, A Crime Fighter's handbook (O'Reilly and Associates 1995). For a number of case studies and examples of computer crime, get Denning's Information Warfare and Security (Addison-Wesley 1999). For the scope of economical espionage and information warfare capacities of countries other than US Check Adams's The Next World War (Arrow Books Limited, 1998). To properly understand that national information infrastructure, nations' dependence on it and inherent vulnerabilities, get your hands on to Schneider's (ed.) Trust in Cyberspace (National Academy Press, 1999). If you want to know the extent of computer crime, go to CSI/FBI computer crime survey online.

    It is widely assumed that law enforcement personnel is not properly educated to handling computer crime. If this is the case, authors should be especially carefull to treat security technology and vulnerabilities appropriately. Simplifications and unjustified assumptions don't help much. Therefore, it's better spend time on the above books and WWW site and get a more comprehensive picture of computer crime.

    5 out of 5 stars It is a must.......1999-11-19

    If you are wanting to learning the principles of investing computer crime then this book is a must.

    5 out of 5 stars Great perspective on high-tech crimes........1999-11-19

    What a practical and informative book. It's about time a book has been written that is not interwoven with conjecture and idealistic gibberish. This book has substance and is very relevant to the real world of crime in the technological environment. The authors' ability to provide such a broad perspective about the subject in such an understandable fashion is appreciated and refreshing. The authors provide a precise overview of the entire high-technology crime investigatory process. This book not only deals with a myriad of important issues but also offers viable solutions and prevention programs which have already been tested. It contains information that is applicable, not only to security professionals, but to law enforcement as well. Let's face it, "high-tech" crime will undoubtedly flourish in the next century. Managers and investigators from law enforcement and industry must have - at least - a basic understanding of the implications of this type of crime and the global information environment before they can effectively react to it. Protecting the assets of the public and private sectors will become higher priorities because the stakes are becoming higher and thieves will continually attempt to take advantage of new and existing technology to commit their crimes. As we move into the next century, the challenge will be to understand and aggressively respond to high-technology crime.

    Book Description

    "Cybercrime and cyber-terrorism represent a serious challenge to society as a whole." - Hans Christian Krüger, Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe
    Crime has been with us as long as laws have existed, and modern technology has given us a new type of criminal activity: cybercrime. Computer and network related crime is a problem that spans the globe, and unites those in two disparate fields: law enforcement and information technology.

    This book will help both IT pros and law enforcement specialists understand both their own roles and those of the other, and show why that understanding and an organized, cooperative effort is necessary to win the fight against this new type of crime.

    62% of US companies reported computer-related security breaches resulting in damages of $124 million dollars. This data is an indication of the massive need for Cybercrime training within the IT and law enforcement communities.
    The only book that covers Cybercrime from forensic investigation through prosecution.
    Cybercrime is one of the battlefields in the war against terror.

    Download Description

    This book is a bridge between two distinct cultures; that of IT professionals responsible for building systems that prevent cybercrime, and law enforcement officials responsible for investigating and prosecuting those crimes. It introduces IT professionals to the highly structured world of law enforcement, where rules of evidence must be followed closely and crime scenes must not be contaminated. It provides law enforcement officers with an understanding of the technical aspects of cybercrime and of how technology can be used to help solve crimes that have been committed.

    1 out of 5 stars Tell Me Something I Don't Already Know.......2005-02-07

    Littlejohn Shinder writes a fairly topical analyses of various facets of cybercrime -including several- what can only be described as Computers 101 sections but if you're a typical n00b then it will all seem like a glorious epiphany. In Ch 4 she gets a little on the didactic side where she attempts to debunk the various stereotypes and cliched mindsets associated with the hacking community but she falls far short of any real insight.

    Don't bother reading this book if you have even a modicum of tech savvy - the writer won't be telling you anything that you don't already know or figured out for yourself hands on. BTW, most of the URLS provided as reference in this book are 404, which is only to be expected given its 2002 publication date, however I include the comment here in this review because if you're like me, then you like to check out the resources the writer used.

    Lastly, by no stretch of the imagination should this title be considered a computer forensics book. The only audience that will consider said title as such are executive officers and marketing types who don't have a clue.

    4 out of 5 stars Handy little book.......2004-12-31

    Overall, a very good book.

    At times, tries to be too much to too many.

    But good info.

    3 out of 5 stars Neither Fish Nor Fowl.......2004-10-19

    This is a tough book to review as it tries to speak to two very different audiences -- corporate information security and law enforcement professionals.
    The corporate information security professionals will find the technical details misleading and over simplified but will definitely benefit from the detailed discussions of proper process and procedure.
    The author leverages her experience as a police officer and academy instructor to good effect in educating us on the viewpoint of the law enforcement community and the requirements we must meet in collecting and preserving admissible evidence.
    My advice would be to VERY lightly skim the "technical" material on vulnerabilities, exploits and defenses while reserving detailed reading for the material dealing with process and procedures as well as the logistics for involving and interacting with law enforcement.

    5 out of 5 stars So very good on so many levels..........2004-05-09

    I'm currently in the middle of the book Scene Of The Cybercrime by Debra Littlejohn Shinder, but I decided to do a review right now. This is a really good book on a number of levels...

    Most books on computer and network security are written for the techie trying to secure their assets from outside attack. Obviously, there's a huge need for that information. But it seems that there is virtually nothing written from the law enforcement perspective on computer security. That's a major problem in two ways... For one, there are too few law enforcement personnel that understand exactly what cybercrime is and how it can be detected, fought, and prosecuted. That's probably the audience that would benefit most from this book. Second, most technical personnel don't know what to do in order to successfully build a case and prosecute an attacker once an intrusion has occurred. That's the other audience that will gain the most from reading Shinder's work.

    The book includes the following chapters: Facing the Cybercrime Problem Head On; Reviewing the History of Cybercrime; Understanding the People on the Scene; Understanding Computer Basics; Understanding Network Basics; Understanding Network Intrusions and Attacks; Understanding Cybercrime Prevention; Implementing System Security; Implementing Cybercrime Detection Techniques; Collecting and Preserving Digital Evidence; Building the Cybercrime Case

    The hardcore network security administrator will probably already know most of the information in the "Understanding..." chapters. But unless they are adept or experienced in forensic analysis, the last three chapters will be crucial information for them. Without the knowledge of how to preserve evidence, there's a good chance that you'll never have the satisfaction of seeing your attacker prosecuted. Higher level managers of a corporate security department will find all of this information useful, as they may not be as hands-on as the administrators and may not understand what threats and risks are present in today's environment.

    From the law enforcement perspective, it's all good. Fighting cybercrime is so different than regular law enforcement. This is the perfect volume to give the budding cybercop all the information they need to get up to speed with how crime is conducted electronically. I would recommend that this book be required reading for law enforcement and prosecution personnel.

    The book is well written with plenty of real-life examples of criminal activities and legal scenarios. It's one of the most engrossing technical reads I've had in awhile. A definite recommended read...

    1 out of 5 stars Generic Information Security reading........2003-12-08

    Hi,
    This book covers all aspects of information security but the title of the book is kind of misleading as the book only has 2 chapters that talk about anything close to Forensics.
    Would recommend this book to someone who is new to Information security . This ones certainly not a Forensics book .

    5 out of 5 stars Hands-on, immediately applicable to our real-world cases.......2005-10-25

    Eoghan Casey's text is immediately useful. It's not theory, it's practical. It's not biased to one operating system, but covers several technologies. Finally, Eoghan and the book's contributors do not gloss over today's most offensive topics, they address them with vigor and solutions.

    I would share one concern: the chapter-long product/vendor discussion. Some reviewers label it marketing; other reviewers don't mention it at all. I'll just forewarn you that you will learn much more about EnCase or NFR than about their competitors.

    As a security consultant for Hewlett-Packard, it seems my bookshelf fills up entirely too easily, especially as of the last few years. Therefore, I've gotten fairly selective with new book purchases (until I can get a new bookshelf). However, Casey's text is DEFINITELY worth getting - worth knocking another book off to make room. :)

    I hope you enjoy this comprehensive text at least half as much as I do.

    5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book from a real expert........2003-09-03

    This is an excellent book from a real expert.

    Everyone and their brother are writing books about computer security and digital forensics.

    The difference here is that Eoghan Casey knows what he is talking about.

    Excellent book!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent for making your own Methodology.......2002-10-15

    The book reviews different tools and techniques for a forensic investigation by experts in the field. Very good reference manual for new and experienced investigators.

    5 out of 5 stars A step on.........2002-08-09

    The 'Handbook of Computer Crime Investigation' follows on well from Eoghan Casey's previous title, 'Digital Evidence and Computer Crime' which I found to be a sound introduction to the subject. This latest book is targeted at those already proficient in Computer Forensics and provides in depth detail of techniques essential to any computer related investigation. Also included are sections specific to examining various operating systems. As someone who both works in information security and has a particular interest in computer forensics I can thoroughly recommend this book!

    5 out of 5 stars Essays by a variety of learned and experienced authors.......2002-07-12

    Capably edited by Eoghan Casey (System Security Administrator, Yale University), Handbook Of Computer Crime Investigation: Forensic Tools And Technology is a fascinating guide to the software and hardware tools necessary for collecting digital evidence of cyber crimes ranging from cyberstalking and child pornography to financial fraud, espionage, or terrorism. Essays by a variety of learned and experienced authors present the latest means of forensic analysis for Windows, Unix, and more systems. Sample code, charts, and appropriate case examples pepper this amazing, cutting-edge criminology reference. Handbook Of Computer Crime Investigation is an invaluable and "user friendly" contribution to the field of computer and Internet security.

    5 out of 5 stars Fraud Education at its best!.......2007-01-11

    If you have considered becoming a CFE and deliberated over taking the exam with or without the prep manuals, these manuals are worth every penny. The amount of detail and knowledge makes these books a valuable legal library to use as reference throughout your career. The prep test will give you the confidence to sit for the stressful exam. It is such a wealth of information, I am confident that these books helped me pass all four sections on the first sitting. Great job ACFE!
