Eoghan Casey - Digital Evidence & Computer Crime, 3rd Edition

This book is divided into five parts, beginning with the fundamental concepts and legal issues relating to digital evidence and computer crime in Part 1 (Digital Forensics: Chapters 1 – 5). Part 2 of this text (Digital Investigations: Chapters 6 – 9) covers investigative aspects of digital evidence and computer crime. Part 3 of this text (Apprehending Offenders: Chapters 10 – 14) deals with specific types of investigations with a focus on apprehending offenders, including Violent Crime in Chapter 10, Sex Offenders on the Internet in Chapter 12 and Investigating Computer Intrusions in Chapter 13. Part 4 of this book (Computer Forensics: Chapters 15 – 20) begins by introducing basic Forensic Science concepts in the context of a single computer, and goes on to apply these concepts in updated chapters dedicated to networked Windows, Unix, and Macintosh computers and mobile devices. Part 5 (Network Forensics: Chapters 21 – 25) covers computer networks from an investigative perspective, focusing specifically on the Internet and performing forensic analysis on network logs and traffic.

This material provides the foundation for the more advanced companion text, the Handbook of Digital Forensics and Investigation.
