"A beginners guide" according to Simon Wellborne. If you are new to the Forensic game then this book might make good reading. A large portion of the book is on disk and data structure & geometry. This makes for interesting reading if you have not covered this before, but if you are an investigator, this will be 'old' and somewhat irrelevant news.Chapters include information on;* PDA/Electronic Organisers,* Search and seizure of PC's* A little on Network and encryption (informational reading only).Overall, n. PC User said In-depth look at NTFS. This book covers NTFS at the byte level. It has tables and explanations that extremely useful for a course I was taking. I purchased most of the computer forensic books available but all the other books contained mere summaries of NTFS. This volume covers the nuts and bolts. Excellent book, need more like this.
