4.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading and simple techniques, September 22, 2008
This review is from: Foundations to Computer Forensics and Online Crime Investigations (Paperback)
What I liked most about this book is its easy and simple reading. It does not get you confused with technical language that the average person does not understand. It also showed me some computer techniques that I was able to use right away from my own computer to do things like track down emails and the origin of fake Websites. I showed my friends some of the things I learned from the book and they were impressed with me. The book is very good for reference if you are trying to find things about a Website or someone using the Internet. The book shows tools and things about the Internet that you can do with your own computer without having to buy expensive special software. I really enjoyed this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice work!, September 6, 2008
This review is from: Foundations to Computer Forensics and Online Crime Investigations (Paperback)
This book is best used to complement the more complicated computer forensic books. It is written in simple language and it serves as a bridge to those more complex books. I use it frequently as a reference manual and for the price, it is well worthy.
