As a Digital Forensics professional for 5 years, and in cybersecurity for 9, this book explains the differences between Red, Blue, and Purple Teams. Did a great job covering the versatility of Kali Linux. Also, presented some excellent tools that are not only open source but can be used to get started in the field. The book goes in-depth just enough to provide understanding but not enough to overwhelm the reader with information. Great information.

For those new to digital forensics or Linux, this book will be extremely useful from front to back without being overwhelming or difficult to understand. Everything is covered from the most basic topics such as identifying storage devices, to acquiring data from the target/evidentiary media and performing simple data recovery and analysis.For those who are already professional level forensic examiners… if Kali isn’t part of your toolbox yet, this is a good way to add it. The latter chapters even cover several subjects often left out of other forensic books such as malware, ransomware, identifying devices on a network, and network traffic/packet analysis.

I enjoyed this book and found it to be a great resource. It covers a vast array of many digital forensic tools and approaches that are standards in the industry. The best aspect of this book compared to other similar books is the way the topics are outlined, introduced, and are presented in a logical order. This really makes each chapter make sense and build successfully off one another.
