 Great When Starting From ScratchAug 29, 2009
By J. Dadlez
"Dadio"
I liked the book. It opened my eyes to a lot of areas I knew nothing about. I can understand previous reviewers who weren't happy with the book. Some material is dated and it isn't an All-In-One text on the subject. But, if you're just starting out, like me, it is a great first read. Also, by actually doing the Projects in the back of each chapter, especially Chapter 7 and 8, you'll get a ton of information on very useful forensic topics and techniques including, software that you can download and use for free, etc...
If some websites for the software don't exist anymore, Google the names and the info on where to get it will come up. If you are into learning forensics, having to find this info shouldn't discourage you, otherwise you're learning the wrong subject.
I had a blast with this book and it really wet my appetite to learn more. What more could you want from an introductory text on any subject.

 Great Book!Dec 14, 2007
By Federico Lozano Jr.
"ghostdog"
I highly recommend this book for beginners and experienced forensics experts. It talks about all possible situations you could encounter from a technological and legal stand point. This book really prepares you for how to be ready for the field and explains everything in a really friendly way. The book is a very easy read but is specific and isn't vague like other books I have read. You can literally keep reading and not have to take a break.

Practical and usefullOct 20, 2007
By David F. Aviles
Computer Forensics: Principles and Practices is a great teaching tool for forensic investigators of all skill levels. For a beginner, the book takes you through the investigative process from A to Z and doesn't leave out the more advanced and complicated processes of data carving, email reconstruction and mobile device analysis.
For the advanced user, there is plenty of information that is both relevant and useful, some of which you may not have seen before. I appreciated this most because of the specific processes outlined and the tools that were described. I am a big fan of books that can help you apply examples to your own processes, something this book does very well.
Everything from A to Z, this book provides excellent material focusing on process and step-by-step analysis using the latest tools available.
 Shabby coverAug 31, 2011

Book was advertised in good condition, however the cover is in shabby condition while the inside is in fact in good condition.

 A revision is in order.Sep 24, 2009
By Michael W. Graves
"Tech Writer"
You can't really blame the publishers. By the time a book about computer technology is in print, it's already out of date. This one is no different. A couple of key points seemed to be missing (such as locking down USB devices in the registry and a decent discussion of Linux utilities). Subjects are glossed over, but not discussed in detail. I have other books that are better that are significantly less money.
