“[The text contains] lots of practical information including little details that give life to the procedures. Students are attracted by these glimpses of the real-world.”

Customer Reviews & Comments
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.
