Demystifying computer forensics October 26, 2008
Hugh J. Watson (Athens, GA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you use a computer, you probably know that there is an electronic trail that follows you, and that the trail potentially lasts forever and can cause serious legal problems. This book demystifies how computer forensics is performed, what to do if you are ever in trouble (or trying to help someone who is in trouble), and tools that can help you. Though the topic is potentially complex, the book is an easy, interesting read. Statements like "An IP address is like a phone number for your computer" help make the material understandable. It is clear that the authors have considerable practical experience in the area and understand current best practices, computer technology, and the law. The book is appropriate for a wide variety of people -- those with a casual interest in the topic, in legal troubles related to materials on their PC, and lawyers who either work or want to work in the area.

WoW! This is a book that should be read by everyone. Especially corporate heads and some in government. What you discover is that the electronic trails are everywhere and someone in the know can and will retrieve them, if need be. So be careful what you write or do on your computer, there are no secrets!
Good writing, technical enough to keep us geeks in the read, but not so technical that everyone couldn't read it and learn a great deal. This is a book that I found myself going back to for additional information on a subject I believed I understood. It exceeded my expectations in every way.
A great book to discover the basics of computer forensics October 7, 2008
R. Anzaldua (Weslaco, TX USA)
First I would like to thank you for taking the time to consider Computer Forensics for Dummies as your introduction to the computer forensic field. As one of the co-authors, this book was a pleasure to write since the material is written in a way where technical jargon is kept to a minimum while making the material fun and easy to understand. Attorneys, IT managers, computer CSI candidates, and those new to the field who want a basic understanding of how computer forensics works without the need for advanced computer degrees will appreciate this book. Please feel free to join the discussion groups if you have any questions, concerns, or comments. Again, thanks for checking out Computer Forensics for Dummies!
