This book discusses the process of
investigating and analyzing electronic equipment, detecting devices,
wireless signals and the prosecution and prevention of high-tech
crime. The coauthors are from private industry and academia
and really provide a wide variety of perspectives on the detection
of electronic eavesdropping devices, wiretaps, various electronic
signals and the collection and examination of information from
laptops, desktop computers and PDAs. Kenneth Bruno does an
excellent job teaching the reader all about the equipment used in
electronic eavesdropping detection. We also introduce the
reader to various pieces of electronic equipment used to detect and
identify explosives, biochemical weapons, as well as historic
unexploded ordinance. The reader is also introduced to the
legal system by Joel Liebesfeld, who does corporate investigations
and is often employed by clients who are in the legal profession or
insurance industry. Liebesfeld and Doherty discuss the process
of becoming an expert witness who may testify to what was found
using scientific methods in combination with electronic signal
detection or computer forensic equipment. We hope that the
readership of the book will will include high school students
considering a career in private industry, law enforcement,
intelligence agencies or the military. A background in
electronics, math and computer science is helpful but not necessary
in reading this book. Lockard's Principle of Exchange
specifies that two objects or people that come in contact with each
other will change. We hope that this book changes you by
increasing your understanding of electronic devices, investigation
and the justice system.
