 Rating:  - This book is full of critical errors and omissions AVOID this bookI 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Really helpfull "Guide"The book is really usefull even if Computer Forensics is a new thing to me. It has a step by step guide to do Forensics from getting the evidence, preserving the evidence, until showing it in the court.

It looks to me as though the publisher hired an English major to edit a Computer Forensics book... too bad... If the authors read these reviews... switch editors... maybe even publishers if it's possible... switch to more mainstream tools for your examples... re-edit before releasing a second edition Rating: - Do not buy this book used! You won't be able to use the CDThis book represents the core of what is wrong with corporate America today. This book is packaged with a CD that has software on it used throughout the book. What they don't tell you anywhere is that you must register the software using a unique and one time only coupon in the cd pouch. Furthermore the software then expires in 120 days. To not mention this limitation that basically makes the book useless for resale is very deceitful on the part of the publisher and the company that supplied the software. ... Read More
