3.0 out of 5 stars
Nothing groundbreaking, but an average read,
By David Trube (Pekin, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Forensics and Investigations (Paperback)
The book was well written and the authors clearly know their subject area, but I would only recommend it for someone not tremendously familar with forensics. I was hoping to discover some new techniques, but did not see much that was new.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Basically the same book,
By "lukewaters" (Camden Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Forensics and Investigations (Paperback)
This is basically the same book as "Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigation" by the same authors. Same material, same problems.
