Back Cover

Terrorist attacks are no longer relegated to airports and federal buildings. Using personal computers as their weapons, hackers and criminals (some only 11 years old) have attacked the Internet, government agencies, financial companies, small businesses, and credit card accounts of unsuspecting individuals. This book provides a complete overview of computer forensics from its definition to “crime scene investigation,” seizure of data, determining the “fingerprints” of the crime, and tracking down the criminal. The book focuses on “solving the crime” rather than information security.
