The Definitive Guide to File System Analysis: Key Concepts and Hands-on Techniques
Most digital evidence is stored within the computer's file system, but understanding how file systems work is one of the most technically challenging concepts for a digital investigator because there exists little documentation. Now, security expert Brian Carrier has written the definitive reference for everyone who wants to understand and be able to testify about how file system analysis is performed.
Carrier begins with an overview of investigation and computer foundations and then gives an authoritative, comprehensive, and illustrated overview of contemporary volume and file systems: Crucial information for discovering hidden evidence, recovering deleted data, and validating your tools. Along the way, he describes data structures, analyzes example disk images, provides advanced investigation scenarios, and uses today's most valuable open source file system analysis tools——including tools he personally developed.

For all those surfers who have slowly grown disenchanted with Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser, Don't Click on the Blue E! from O'Reilly is here to help. It offers non-technical users a convenient roadmap for switching to a better web browser--Firefox. The only book that covers the switch to Firefox, Don't Click on the Blue E! is a must for anyone who wants to browse faster, more securely, and more efficiently. It takes readers through the process step-by-step, so it's easy to understand. Schools, non-profits, businesses, and individuals can all benefit from this how-to guide. Firefox includes most of the features that browser users are familiar with, along with several new features other browsers don't have, such as a bookmarks toolbar and window tabs that allow users to quickly switch among several web sites. There is also the likelihood of better security with Firefox. All indications say that Firefox is more than just a passing fad. With the USA Today and Forbes Magazine hailing it as superior to Internet Explorer, Firefox is clearly the web browser of the future. In fact, as it stands today, already 22% of the market currently employs Firefox for their browsing purposes. Don't Click on the Blue E! has been written exclusively for this growing audience. With its straightforward approach, it helps people harness this emerging technology so they can enjoy a superior-and safer-browsing experience.
 Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions is the first book of its
kind to cover all aspects of fingerprint science. Featuring the latest
findings and techniques, the text includes the formation of friction
ridges on the skin, the deposition of latent prints, the detection and
enhancement of such marks, recording of fingerprint evidence, and
fingerprint identification itself. Recent advances in statistical
interpretation, fingerprint detection techniques and computer
technology are also discussed in detail. This is an ideal text for
practitioners in the field, legal professionals, police, and students
of forensic science at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.  Jeff Hawkins is an entrepreneur and computer expert, responsible for
the invention of the popular device known as the PalmPilot, as well as
the Treo smart phone and other gadgets. He is also interested in the
human brain and how it functions. So it should be no surprise that he
has chosen to bring together his two main interests -- computers and
the human brain -- in a book entitled "On Intelligence" which presents
a new theory about how the brain works and how we can finally build
"intelligent" machines.  The events in New York of Tuesday, September
11, 2001, have scarred the world irreparably and
indelibly. Over and over, we hear that the world we
knew will never be the same again. This we
understand. What we do not understand is who . . .
how . . . why . . . and the greater tragedy, in the midst
of so much sensible, sensitive and honest reporting and
writing, is that far too many of us cannot comprehend
these answers even when we hear or read them. We
cannot grasp that there is another world view at least as
potent as ours, a separate reality represented by the
furtive figure of Osama bin Laden. |
