full of false promise 3 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I fully expected to be able to learn how data could be recovered from old and damaged devices, how one could trace what went on for any system etc. What did I get 360 pages of useless information.
The author takes a subject, gives it a heading of 'How to find *****', then spends 2-3 pages telling you what '*****' is and totally forgets the 'How to find' part.
Total rubbish and a waste of money.

By F. Rose
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was easy to read. It gave me a good overview of the topic to support the ISO27001 qualification I have. Although not finished yet it makes good light reading.

The only negative aspect was the law. This is only relevant to some states im the USA and not the UK

Brilliant! 8 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
Provides an awesome understanding of Computer Forensics. Although made "For Dummies" as it were, which means you may want a more in-depth and academic book to gain a further understanding and more technical depth of knowledge.
