Hacking Exposed Computer Forensics (Hacking Exposed)

Rating:
Summary: Very Interesting Book
Review: Coming from a system administration background, I found Hacking Exposed Computer Forensics to be very good book.

The book does a good job of filling you in with the background technical details as well as providing practical knowledge you can use on a day to day basis. In addition to serving as an accesible introduction to both the technical and legal sides of computer forensics, the book is a useful reference with many clear, detailed examples.

The computer side of the book offered advice on working with Windows, Linux, and Macintosh systems. I especially appreciated the section on Macs. Having worked primarily with Linux and Windows, I found the Mac details to be extremely interesting.

While I have not had to deal with the legal side of computer forensics, I found the legal sections to be interesting reading.

I would reccomend this book strongly to technical people whether or not they are interested in law enforcement, as it provides a good deal of information useful to system administrators as well as advanced users.
