Real Digital Forensics Review (0/0 people found this helpful)

This a very good book if you are interested in Computer Forensics. It is very thorough. It is also very well layed out and easy to understand.

the first step (0/1 people found this helpful)

This was my first book on the subject and ok even though this review isn't the most positive
the book is well written and well laid out but i cant help feeling this is a beginners book.
Or i am being naive and think there more to it and there is not.

it has all the basics and is a good first step.
in my eyes the book is aimed at a strange level. its just above hobbyist and round about system admin.
but what it does have is the basics and after reading you will feel that's so obvious why didn't i think of that.
whats its not it a self study guide with challenges or tutorials.
And its not a university sort of theory heavy book.
Its almost a light coffee brake sort of book.
it tells you enough to get the job done in a sort of way. after reading this i would give a stab at it if i was the last resort but by no means promote myself saying i have read it.
its a bit like a whistle stop tour, shows you everything briefly, dosent show the steps in detail and dosent give you the mind set.
although there is a disk provided with software and mock data. but its pointless and there just because they can. also there is no explanation of the software and how to set it up to be used. i was lucky to get my hands on some software in university that is mentioned in the book. i decided to try something described in the book. but i couldn't reproduce the results they got.

but after all that its not a bad book just not what i think a lot of people would expect.
its more a my first guide to wet your appetite
