Maybe I'm not the target audience but... (17/17 people found this helpful)
I am a systems administrator and I thought this may give me some hints and tips when recovering failed systems and finding out what (or who) went wrong with the server, as opposed to just looking through a logfile.
After the first couple of chapters (good overviews of forensics process and computer hardware) this book seems to focus very heavily on the legal implications of computer forensics, and not the technical aspects. The legal focus is on the USA judicial system. The technical recommendations all seem to be focused around buying one piece of software, Encase, which is drummed into you on nearly every page.
As for the sub-title, 'Secrets & Solutions', there is very little to try at home or even in a basic test lab.
Also, the item description states that there is a CD-ROM in this book. There isn't.
