Summary: Little or nothing for the practitioner or serious student
Comment: Vacca appears to have edited rather than written this, and none too well at that. Some chapters use British spelling and some US, some talk of Pounds Sterling and others Dollars. (For each of the five star reviews, examine that writer's other reviews see if you detect a pattern emerging.)

Having said that, the book does present a fairly decent overview of computer forensics for those who want general information about it, and had it been advertised as such I'd have graded it higher. It offers little or nothing, however, to the practitioner or serious student.

Summary: Okay but I was disappointed
Comment: I was real excited when I saw this book that looked like the bible of computer forensics and it came with a DVD. The cost of 50 dollars made it expensive but with DVD that I hope would have video that I can watch.

THe book is okay in giving a general idea of computer forensics. It was not very specific in what to do. It has an interactive part in which it give you general answer too not very thorough.

Then, it goes on a tangent about warfare and cyber terrorism. It leaves the forensics behind. And the book goes over 700 pages.

The DVd is intro to some fornesics software, I was hoping it had video
to show people like me that are visual and can learn more this way.

So, the book is okay but I would check others that are more specific and give more thorough details about computer forensics.

Summary: New/updated info is spot on!
Comment: This edition of the book addresses the most current concerns/issues that every computer professional/layman should be aware of. The sheer amount of information offerd is impressive but, as always, presented in the same easy-to-absorb manner as John's numerous other books.

Summary: Computer Forensics: Computer Crime Scene Investigation (With CD-ROM) (Networking Series)
Comment: Computer Forensics is very appropriate considering a number of data storage facilities that
have been recently hacked into, resulting in theft of customer data. The subject matter of computer forsenic
is logically presented from grounds up leading to a volume of valuable information. I was impressed with the
case studies that appear in the appendix. The end of chapter exercises should be very useful,
and thus could be adapted in a teaching environment. This text should form a companinon to the author's
other text on Firewalls.

Summary: The "CSI" of computer security
Comment: With jails overcrowded this book certainly won't help.
Great reference. Truly the "CSI" handbook of computer security reference. With hackers circling your computer like vultures this book gets to the root of what to look for and how to deal with it. Many examples of actual cases are referenced. A helpful reference CD is also included which is just icing for your hard drive.
  
Editorial Reviews:
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/CD package 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.
