When it comes to computer crimes, the criminals got a big head
start. But the law enforcement and IT security communities are now
working diligently to develop the knowledge, skills, and tools to
successfully investigate and prosecute Cybercrime cases. When the
first edition of "Scene of the Cybercrime" published in 2002, it
was one of the first books that educated IT security professionals
and law enforcement how to fight Cybercrime. Over the past 5 years
a great deal has changed in how computer crimes are perpetrated and
subsequently investigated. Also, the IT security and law
enforcement communities have dramatically improved their ability to
deal with Cybercrime, largely as a result of increased spending and
training. According to the 2006 Computer Security Institute's and
FBI's joint Cybercrime report: 52% of companies reported
unauthorized use of computer systems in the prior 12 months. Each
of these incidents is a Cybecrime requiring a certain level of
investigation and remediation. And in many cases, an investigation
is mandates by federal compliance regulations such as
Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, or the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data
Security Standard.
Scene of the Cybercrime, Second Edition is a completely revised and
updated book which covers all of the technological, legal, and
regulatory changes, which have occurred since the first edition.
The book is written for dual audience; IT security professionals
and members of law enforcement. It gives the technical experts a
little peek into the law enforcement world, a highly structured
environment where the "letter of the law" is paramount and
procedures must be followed closely lest an investigation be
contaminated and all the evidence collected rendered useless. It
also provides law enforcement officers with an idea of some of the
technical aspects of how cyber crimes are committed, and how
technology can be used to track down and build a case against the
criminals who commit them. Scene of the Cybercrime, Second Editions
provides a roadmap that those on both sides of the table can use to
navigate the legal and technical landscape to understand, prevent,
detect, and successfully prosecute the criminal behavior that is as
much a threat to the online community as "traditional" crime is to
the neighborhoods in which we live. Also included is an all new
chapter on Worldwide Forensics Acts and Laws.

Social networks, particularly public ones, have become part of
the fabric of how we communicate and collaborate as a society. With
value from micro-level personal networking to macro-level outreach,
social networking has become pervasive in people s lives and is now
becoming a significant driving force in business. These new
platforms have provided new approaches to many critical enterprise
functions, including identifying, communicating, and gathering
feedback with customers (e.g., Facebook, Ning); locating expertise
(e.g., LinkedIn); providing new communication platforms (e.g.,
Twitter); and collaborating with a community, small or large (e.g.,
wikis). However, many organizations have stayed away from potential
benefits of social networks because of the significant risks
associated with them. This book will help an organization
understand the risks present in social networks and provide a
framework covering policy, training and technology to address those
concerns and mitigate the risks presented to leverage social media
in their organization. The book also acknowledges that many
organizations have already exposed themselves to more risk than
they think from social networking and offers strategies for
"dialing it back" to retake control.

The Basics of Cyber Safety: Computer and Mobile Device Safety Made
Easy presents modern tactics on how to secure computer and mobile
devices, including what behaviors are safe while surfing,
searching, and interacting with others in the virtual world. The
book's author, Professor John Sammons, who teaches information
security at Marshall University, introduces readers to the basic
concepts of protecting their computer, mobile devices, and data
during a time that is described as the most connected in history.
This timely resource provides useful information for readers who
know very little about the basic principles of keeping the devices
they are connected to-or themselves-secure while online. In
addition, the text discusses, in a non-technical way, the cost of
connectedness to your privacy, and what you can do to it, including
how to avoid all kinds of viruses, malware, cybercrime, and
identity theft. Final sections provide the latest information on
safe computing in the workplace and at school, and give parents
steps they can take to keep young kids and teens safe online.
Enter the other night life of Las Vegas. Away form the bright
lights of the Strip are the subdued spot lights that cast onto
stages for the exotic dancers. It is a reality for the women who
work it and men seeking pleasure. There is one man who does not
agree with the lifestyle the women are leading. The game of tease
and sex can lead to sudden death. It is Byron who is more than
happy to take them to their grave. Tom Beckley, twenty year veteran
of Metro, finds himself involved in the case and stumbles onto
something no one has ever seen before.
Over 75% of network attacks are targeted at the web application
layer. This book provides explicit hacks, tutorials, penetration
tests, and step-by-step demonstrations for security professionals
and Web application developers to defend their most vulnerable
applications.
This book defines Web application security, why it should be
addressed earlier in the lifecycle in development and quality
assurance, and how it differs from other types of Internet
security. Additionally, the book examines the procedures and
technologies that are essential to developing, penetration testing
and releasing a secure Web application. Through a review of recent
Web application breaches, the book will expose the prolific methods
hackers use to execute Web attacks using common vulnerabilities
such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting and Buffer Overflows in
the application layer. By taking an in-depth look at the techniques
hackers use to exploit Web applications, readers will be better
equipped to protect confidential.

The book begins with real world cases of botnet attacks to
underscore the need for action. Next the book will explain botnet
fundamentals using real world examples. These chapters will cover
what they are, how they operate, and the environment and technology
that makes them possible. The following chapters will analyze
botnets for opportunities to detect, track, and remove them. Then
the book will describe intelligence gathering efforts and results
obtained to date. Public domain tools like OurMon, developed by Jim
Binkley of Portland State University, will be described in detail
along with discussions of other tools and resources that are useful
in the fight against Botnets.

Many exciting frontiers of science and engineering require
understanding the spatiotemporal properties of sustained
nonequilibrium systems such as fluids, plasmas, reacting and
diffusing chemicals, crystals solidifying from a melt, heart
muscle, and networks of excitable neurons in brains. This
introductory textbook for graduate students in biology, chemistry,
engineering, mathematics, and physics provides a systematic account
of the basic science common to these diverse areas. This book
provides a careful pedagogical motivation of key concepts,
discusses why diverse nonequilibrium systems often show similar
patterns and dynamics, and gives a balanced discussion of the role
of experiments, simulation, and analytics. It contains numerous
worked examples and over 150 exercises. This book will also
interest scientists who want to learn about the experiments,
simulations, and theory that explain how complex patterns form in
sustained nonequilibrium systems.
