Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (with DVD)

This is very good for beginners. I am on the third chapter and learning a lot. Also, it confirms some of the choices that I have made in the past about various certifications and standards. It is used a textbook for a master program but it reads like an undergrad book to this point.

I am using this as a text in my graduate forensics course. The information is easy to follow and understand. Even though the seller is in the UK, delivery was in the range quoted at purchase. You can't beat their price on a new copy.

ATTENTION Ebook users!! You CAN get the DVD content still, it just does not come with the Ebook. Visit the student dashboard on cengage's website, signup, and search for free tools using the ISBN to get a link. It is IMPORTANT to download these files ASAP since the access to the files expires after a couple weeks. I was pretty annoyed as well when I realized that the DVD content was not included, after doing some searching I found how to get it. Don't be discouraged, if you want the Ebook, grab it in confidence! 4 stars since it is not the clearest regarding the DVD material with zero help on how to get it. *I will update the review after my class to reflect the actual content in it.* Hope this helps! -Rob K.

This is a great read for anyone taking a course on the subject, or who just wants to expand their knowledge. It is easy to understand and well organized. My only complaint would be that some of the software used for the activities can be unstable.

Love this book. Really introduces you to computer forensics. The disk that comes with it brings software you need to do the Case study's and Hands-On Projects. I enjoyed this book a lot as well as the class that I took it for.

The book itself was new, very informative and exactly what was needed for my graduate class but the disc it came with had all its files corrupted and it was so hard to complete the assignments. I made the mistake of waiting too long to return but i would NOT recommend this book because at least three classmates had the same issue.

I love the book, the only thing it was missing is the CD

Got this for a computer class. Provided excellent details & relevant info that I needed for the class.
