Product Description
Product Description
Security is always a concern with any new technology. When we think security we typically think of stopping an attacker from breaking in or gaining access. However, based on the broad reach of wireless, stopping someone from passively listening is just as critical. Intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and forensics are just a few of the key areas that must be understood and applied to proactively solve the wireless problem.
From short text messaging to war driving, Wireless Crime and Forensic Investigation explores all aspects of wireless technology, how it is used in daily life, and how it will be used in the future. The book provides a one-stop resource on the types of wireless crimes that are being committed and forensic investigation techniques for wireless devices and wireless networks. The author's straightforward and easy to read style seamlessly integrates the topics of wireless security and computer forensics. He provides a solid understanding of modern wireless technologies, wireless security techniques and wireless crime techniques, as well as conducting forensic analysis on wireless devices and networks. Each chapter, while part of a greater whole, can stand on its own, making researching wireless technologies, security, crime, or forensics easy.
With a problem space as big and complex as wireless, proactive measures must be put in place, and put in place immediately. To protect your organization, you need to be well versed in the new technology sooner rather than later. You can pay now or you can pay later. Later always costs more. This book not only has all the information required to become proficient in wireless technology, but also provides the information required for conducting a forensic analysis in a wireless environment.

A good addition to a forensic library
3 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book was an excellent edition to my forensic library and knowledge. I respect the author for tackling such a broad topic as wireless and feel the overall scope view was helpful. I have done a lot of cellular forensics and this was great to see some of the practices I have been taught and do put into print. I would recommend this book to those looking to get started in this area and learn what is possible.

yeah... like wireless is going away anytime soon!
3 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
I am just now getting into forensics or thinking of it and found this book helpful. It was nice to know that forensics was not tied to just old school technology and new things like wireless really had an impact. I really enjoyed the futures chapter it made me think from entering the field what I could expect and how I should change my focuses. Excellent read, very well written and a friendly text... It was a little expensive at first sight! But honestly worth it in the end.

This is not a book, it a list of technical terms with a short description as a chapter.
25 Jan 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is not a book; it lists technical terms with a short description as a chapter. If this book was $9.00, it would be overpriced but at $63.96 it is the worst book purchase I have ever returned to Amazon. Actually, I have purchased countless books from Amazon; this is the first book I have ever returned!
This is what I emailed to Amazon:
This ebook (better described as a pamphlet) is not a book, but a small document containing, mainly short "Wikipedia like" definitions of wireless terms. It looks like the author's copied the definitions from a list of technical terms and added an index and bibliography. The reviews of this document are misleading at best or blatant lies at worse. I would like a refund immediately and would like to remove this document or allow prospective buyers to sample one of the other chapters. The viewable chapter is the only actual writing in this document and this covers an anecdotal story and is not technical in any way. So, to reiterate, I would like a refund immediately!
I will add to those new to computers or forensics, take a look at the Google book review (you can scan more of the book). Buy a book on wireless from the O'Reilly website, they have decent books for newbies and technical reviews. To the professional, the book is less information than you can acquire from a Wikipedia search on any of the subjects listed in the book. Sorry, to be so harsh, but I can't believe the reviews I've seen of this document, only one was credible; when he said it was "too basic, too broad" as his description of the book. If the writer were trying to emulate "Encyclopedia of Telecommunications" (600 pages of dense text) by Academic Press or something akin to it, he missed it.
