Digital Crime And Forensics

The  book I read to research this post was New Technologies For Digital Crime And Forensics which is an excellent book which I read on a subscription website at http://safaribooksonline.com . This book is a proper heavy duty digital forensics book and is probably not suitable for newbies to the subject but if like me you are quite knowledgeable it's a great book. This is definitely one of the best books I have read on digital forensics and I was so engrossed in it I forgot to phone somebody and didn't remember until after I finished it. It's written in 2011 so is up to date and I was interested to learn there are issues with using MD5 which is a hash tag program used to verify files on a digital device like a computer. Apparently they tend to use AFFLIB. This book also covers things as diverse as traffic signal systems where security is really beefed up and they have something called redundancy which means extra capacity and security. It also looks at mammograms where they use watermarking so if a doctor is viewing something first time it tells him if anyone else has viewed it along with what part they have viewed. It's a decent length book and one of the beauties of this website is they form a long page you scroll down out of a section in a chapter which is great if like me you speed read.
