As a computer security professional and forensic hobbyist myself, I was thinking this book may provide some in-depth information on crimes and investigative techniques you won't find on the evening news (or SANS newsbites). What I found though, was more appropriate for my 65 year old mother or other computer neophyte that needs some basic information to avoid being victimized. Instead of teaching us how to investigate/solve cyber crime, the core theme was how to avoid it. There were some times where I thought if my Mom did read this book, she would never use the internet. If I were to rename the book, it would be "The Internet is the Wild, Wild West - Here's Some Ammo". The topics were mostly generic in nature and I didn't feel like I was getting any privileged or unique information that I couldn't get from other sources. <br/><br/>So clearly, my expectations were not in line with the book, but I don't want to fault the authors. I realize my disappointment is entirely my fault for mis-interpreting the title. If I had read the "Message from the Authors", I may have been alerted that this is more of an "Internet Safety 101" course. If you are looking for such book, than by all means I recommend this book. If you are a computer security professional however, you may found this to just be a re-fresher with little added value. The old adage of ‘don’t trust a book by its cover’ comes to mind on this one.
