Coming from a background in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, the breakdown of the Linux file system and its commands is great. This book does an excellent job of showing the intricacies of the Linux file system. It shows you the commands to leverage the power of the file system and teaches you the important stuff, for example where data is stored in the Linux file system. As a digital forensics expert that is of utmost importance for investigations into Linux systems. My unique perspective shows how valuable the information in this book is and how even if you are not a Linux system administrator you can still use this book.
