This book is full of critical errors and omissions AVOID this book,
By Smokey "The Bear" (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (Paperback)
I bought this book (3rd edition) at a modest price from a really great Amazon vendor, Jennifer's Attic. However, it is by far the worst textbook that I have ever used in my life. Simply put, it is replete with errors, omissions and useless repetition. I'd bet a dozen glazed donuts that the four authors who compiled this book have not recently gone through the book's one hundred plus activities and projects to check for errors and omissions. It's a required text for a graduate Computer Forensics course at a state university where I'm pursuing a computer science certificate to add to my 4 year Industrial Technology degree. If they care here's some recommendations to the authors for the next revision; 1. Cut out all the useless repetition - sure you can repeat things but gee... 2. Don't go into such depth on so many different complex software tools, 3. Verify that your activities and projects actually work - validate each one of them to correct the numerous errors and resolve the many omissions.Summary for anyone interested in Computer Forensics; if you have to buy this book as a required textbook - don't take the course unless its mandatory and you have a great deal of extra time to waste. To everyone else - who's simply looking for a book - run for your lives. There must be several other computer forensics books that are better than this one. P.S. I have no affiliation with any textbook authors or publisher and can't say what's a good book on this subject - just that this one's bad.

Guide to Computer Forensics is a winner,
This review is from: Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (Paperback)
I have just finished my computer forensics certification at the University of Washington, and we used the Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (Third Edition) as the primary text for three courses. I found it to be a comprehensive treatise of all of the skills necessary to complete a successful digital investigation. In addition, I have had a chance to review portions of the soon to be released Fourth edition, which is even better. You can't go wrong with this computer forensics book. It should be a part of every computer forensics investigator's professional library.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (Paperback)
My husband dropped this class but he read the book anyway! He said it was really interesting and enjoyed it. I must warn you - my husband is a geek so unless you yourself are also a geek I wouldn't buy this book for recreational reading ;)
