A really well written and well paced all-encompassing guide to the world of digital forensics. What can sometimes be a dry topic to read is kept interesting by short stories or real life examples.I especially like the focus on browser, social media and OSINT investigation, and how best to capture digital evidence. This is a refreshing change to other guides and books that I have read before, which seem to focus solely on device only forensics.A great guide to learn from fresh but also to be used as a reference guide for the future.

My background is that I've been a law enforcement forensic digital examiner for 8 years.I was given a copy of this book and after reading through it I'm very impressed by it.It's certainly a book I would recommend to someone looking to get into Digital Forensic work rather than someone who's been doing it for years but even then it's worth a read as there's always something you can pick up from any book.I particularly like that the book isn't tool specific / loyal and a number of different tools such as xways, ftk are mentioned and used to demonstrate points.The book starts off with the basics of Forensics and covers vital points such as write blocking and hashing and then moves on to examinations.There are some case studies within the book which I found really interesting such as Silk Road where am overview of digital techniques is given.There are also knowledge checks throughout the book which are a really good way to check if you have understood something.A negative point for me and a point which most investigators in the UK feel strongly about is the use of the term "child pornography". It is not pornography. That child has not and cannot consent to to what is happening. That child is being raped or abused not partaking in pornography!Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is a much more appropriate term to use so please change this in future publications.That one point aside, I have mentored many people within my department and I would recommend this book to anyone starting out in Forensics to purchase it.The author is clearly knowledgeable on this subject and I look forward to reading other work by them.

Good book that presents real life examples of public known cases along with the author’s experience. The author does a great job explaining the different components or artifacts that you may find when performing a Forensics investigation on different sources (mostly Windows based). The different chapters go into explaining with great detail, although there could’ve been some Linux/Mac Forensics included, but overall a really good read that was well organized and easy to understand.

Yuri Gubanov Sep 13, 2022

William’s book, “Learn Computer Forensics” is a great read and valuable forensic resource for any investigator—balanced with the latest technical details and forensic techniques all while written in a clear, understandable and relatable style. William’s forensic proficiency and vast expertise is on full display in his book, “Learn Computer Forensics”. Unlike so many other forensic books that are over a decade old, “Learn Computer Forensics” is current and includes an insightful and provocative chapter on ethics.By Yuri Gubanov, digital forensics expert, Creator and CEO of Belkasoft—DFIR software vendor.
