Investigations and crime scene Forensics. These books will help you learn how to:

- The mightiest tresses in the world can fail,
and when that happens all you can do (you being the
person responsible for castle security) is figure
out what went wrong, what damage was done, and by
whom. If the castle was located in the right kind of
kingdom--to take a metaphor too far--you can hope to
prosecute the perpetrator. Computer Forensics:
Computer Crime Scene Investigation explains how to
gather evidence of computer crimes in such a way
that it will be more likely to lead to a conviction
in a criminal court. It's an interesting legal
area--after all, it's almost always you, and not any
law Enforcement agency doing the surveillance and
evidence-gathering on your computer systems --and
John Vacca has done a fair bit of research. This
crime scene investigation book will probably expand your thinking on the
subject of information security.
On the other hand, though Vacca gives good general
advice (don't lose volatile information by shutting
a compromised machine down mid-attack; do be prepared
to translate memory dumps into jury-readable m),
he sometimes meanders into generalizations and
irrelevancies. The fact that terrorists distribute
their plans via public Web sites is certainly scary,
but hardly helpful to someone wanting to prosecute
the guy who vandalized the corporate Web site.
Similarly interesting, but practically irrelevant to
most of us, are discussions of high-energy radio
frequency (HERF) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
weapons that can knock out information systems from
a distance. More focus on evidence collection in
organizational computing environments would make
this book useful, rather than just generally
informative. -David Wall

 "Physical
evidence cannot be wrong; it cannot perjure itself;
it cannot be wholly absent. Only its interpretation
can err. Only human failure to find it, study and
understand it, can diminish its value." -Presiding
