Opis Forensic Discovery: Forensic computing is gathering and analyzing data in a manner as free from distortion as possible to reconstruct data or what has happened in the past on a system. Many of the tools presented in this book were developed and used first by the authors. This is the book by the people who wrote the original versions of forensic tools that are now widely used. The thrust of the book deals with the collection and use of computer evidence to apprehend the hacker and, once apprehended, to either prosecute or defend. The majority of examples are from Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux systems, Microsoft's Windows shows up as well. Internationally recognized computer security experts offer advice and tools for achieving security through computer forensic analysis. ° Authors are renowned for developing notorious computer-security software such as SATAN (Security Administrator's Tool for Analyzing Networks) and the Coroner's Toolkit. ° Covers looking at systems in a new way--one that affords the opportunity to understand how systems can be compromised. ° Only titles approved by Brian Kernighan are allowed into Professional Computing Series.
