Rebecca Smith-Terry May 18, 2020

I am a relatively newcomer to the filed of digital/computer forensics, having just completed my college degree in December 2019. Since I am new to the field, I have had the opportunity to read several of the other books out there that are introductions to this type of work. Many of those books have been confusing and often difficult to follow, often assuming that the reader already has a fairly extensive knowledge of computer forensics to begin with. Mr. Oettingers book follows an easy to read and understand pattern and includes several helpful links to resources from NIST, digital forensic software providers, and other reading resources. The breakdown of areas such as file systems, choosing the right forensic tools, how to create a forensic image and then how to investigate and analyze that image has been very insightful. Sometimes authors of these types of books can confuse their readers by not writing in a logical manner or by using too much technological language for someone that is just starting out in this field. This book has not only refreshed my memory of somethings that I have already learned about but it has also provided a lot more information that is brand new to me. I have a colleague that is looking for a new introductory level text book to use in his Cybersecurity curriculum at a local community college and I am most definitely going to recommend this book.

This book is very well written and covers all aspects of the digital forensic process, from identification, preservation , acquition and processing of the digital evidence. This book walks you through a digital crime scene and obstacles and planning that should be done. The chapter on Memory forensics was very clearly stated from acquiring it and processing it to the knowledge that some data will change while capturing the RAM. The book is laid out nicely to include report writing and testifying. The author covers both criminal and civil exams, mentions numerous tools from open source to vendor specific. Over all very well written and easy to follow along with the authors numerous real life examples from his years of experiance.

This book is a great read, written in an easy fashion which is easy to follow and understand. I love the examples the author included in the book as he discusses digital forensics investigations and provides life-like examples of the types of simple to advance cases a forensic examiner would face on a day-to-day basis. Highly recommend.
