What would you recommend for some reading and training in the field? I'm no computer specialist: Most of my training thus far has actually been in a completely different field. However, I do run linux and have some idea of how to make it do what I want. What I need, though, is something that goes deeper than _Running Linux_ or _Computer Crime_ by Icove, Seger, and VonStorch. What I'd especially like, are some "best practices" guides. For anything and everything, really. If you have them, though, for DOS attacks and for seizing computers and accessories, those would be especially valuable. Even a guide to what questions I should be asking and what I should be seizing. Any suggestions? Any organizations that I should consider joining? Any classes I should take (bearing in mind that they'll have to come out of my own pocket)? My main priority, as an officer, is to be able to take the report and collect the evidence in a way that'll actually do some good. The academy didn't get into this stuff in much detail :) Mike S.
