Customer comments on this selection.
 Where is part 2??
This book will definitely leave you wanting more. This is very informative for those who like criminal justice and/or computers. It teaches you how to put both together in the up and coming field of computer forensics which is quickly picking up. Very well-written by someone who knows the material like the back of their hand.
A Neophyte's Perspective
While I'm not a computer security specialist, by any means, nor do I even
have a lot of in depth knowledge regarding computers in general, I was
surprised at how much I did understand, and also at the fact that I did learn quite a bit. The authors' intended audience obviously was not a neophyte such as myself, but even a beginner can find many aspects of computer security interesting and eye opening. Stopping often to look up
words and ideas that appeared Martian,(to this super-neophyte,) I laud the authors' clear and succinct writing style.
 Nice look at Unix forensics!
I must admit that some parts of this book are "over my head". However, this book packs quite a punch with much insight into forensics and explanations that are detailed and accompanied by MANY practical examples. The authors do a fine job of making this book interesting and they actually keep it rather short (believe me, most books on the subject are). One possible flaw is that I'd probably prefer for it to have a bit more theory and a bit less practical examples.
Forensic Discovery is a great resource
I read forensic discovery last week on the plane home from San Francisco. After a few chapters I was hooked and could barely put it down to eat. This book is absolutely recommended for anyone at all interested in security concepts as well as system administrators or anyone who would need to understand the way that information exists and persists on computer systems.
More informative than books twice its size
This book is full of information on every single step involved in forensic incident response. I've had articles published on this same topic, and found this book informative above and beyond my prior research and industry experience. If you haven't had much IR experience on the UNIX side, you need this book.
