Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (with DVD)

This is very good for beginners. I am on the third chapter and learning a lot. Also, it confirms some of the choices that I have made in the past about various certifications and standards. It is used a textbook for a master program but it reads like an undergrad book to this point.

This is a great read for anyone taking a course on the subject, or who just wants to expand their knowledge. It is easy to understand and well organized. My only complaint would be that some of the software used for the activities can be unstable.

ATTENTION Ebook users!!You CAN get the DVD content still, it just does not come with the Ebook. Visit the student dashboard on cengage's website, signup, and search for free tools using the ISBN to get a link. It is IMPORTANT to download these files ASAP since the access to the files expires after a couple weeks. I was pretty annoyed as well when I realized that the DVD content was not included, after doing some searching I found how to get it. Don't be discouraged, if you want the Ebook, grab it in confidence!4 stars since it is not the clearest regarding the DVD material with zero help on how to get it. *I will update the review after my class to reflect the actual content in it.*Hope this helps!-Rob K.

Love this book. Really introduces you to computer forensics. The disk that comes with it brings software you need to do the Case study's and Hands-On Projects. I enjoyed this book a lot as well as the class that I took it for.

I am using this as a text in my graduate forensics course. The information is easy to follow and understand.Even though the seller is in the UK, delivery was in the range quoted at purchase. You can't beat their price on a new copy.

I'm online with cengage support right now. Because the book is in EBOOK FORMAT they can't help me with the DVD content. Everything on their website is pay, there is no free content like some of the other reviews said. I purchased an Ebook for $90 - not renting - and there are no access codes. It completely defeats the purpose because you can't do the course without the materials in the DVD.

Great book for beginners

Great book with tons of insight into the field and practice of forensics as well as practical skills.
