This second edition has been revised to include two new running cases and updated technology coverage. Authors Phillips and Enfinger have taught computer forensics for a number of years and bring a proven, classroom approach to teaching the topics in this text, while authors Nelson and Steuart are both investigators and bring a real-world perspective to the text. Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigation presents methods to properly conduct a computer forensics investigation beginning with a discussion of ethics, while mapping to the objectives of the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists (IACIS) certification. Students should have a working knowledge of hardware and operating systems to maximize their success on projects and exercises throughout the text.
