This book does a great job of introducing several important concepts of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). It talks about tools and procedures that are relevant for anyone who may perform some level of DFIR within their job.I appreciate that the author takes the time to show realistic and practical tools, rather than paid solutions. It provides an easy to follow guide for someone that is new to the field or needs a refresher on specific topics. The book does not go into great detail outside of DFIR which I believe helps keep the focus. It does not follow the newest forensic artifacts specific to Windows 11, however it does cover all the relevant artifacts that would be required for any level of analysis.This book would be perfect for someone learning DFIR for the first time as well as someone who needs reference material if they are not repeatedly performing this level of analysis.

One of the things that most "entry level" analysts lack is knowledge about the Windows Registry and artifact collection. This book does a very good job at explaining the Windows Registry and going into the different types of artifacts that can be retrieved from it. It is also a very good refresher for using FTK Imager.This book is good for someone relatively new to security or if you have only triaged level 1 type of alerts and do not have hands-on experience in a security team.

Muhiballah Mohammed's "Windows Forensics Analyst Field Guide" offers a structured exploration of Windows OS forensics. Part 1 lays a robust foundation, detailing the Windows OS, its file systems, and lab preparation essentials. The guide's emphasis on evidence acquisition for Windows OS is commendably detailed. Next is a dive into user profiling via the Windows Registry is both insightful and comprehensive. In Part 2, the focus shifts to 'Additional Artifacts', where topics like 'Application Execution Artifacts' and 'USB Forensics' are covered. The examination of browser artifacts, spanning Firefox to Chrome, is particularly relevant today. Exploration of various additional artifacts, including email and system logs, is thorough. Practical case studies enrich the content, making it more relatable. Overall, Mohammed’s guide serves as a valuable resource for both newcomers and seasoned professionals in digital forensics.

I love it when a book gives you exactly what the title says it's about. The Windows Forensics Analyst Field Guide gives the reader the information they need to immediately get started in the field of DFIR. It guides the reader through the gear/tools that DFIR professionals use starting with what every analyst needs to have in their "jump bag." I loved that the book includes pictures of real equipment/artifacts, not just rendered drawings. Another unique feature to this book is that it offers a standalone chapter on USB artifacts. The DFIR books I have read usually just lump USB's into the "other artifacts" chapter. This book also has separate chapters for browser and email artifacts. All of these chapters include plenty of screenshots on how to download and install the tools necessary to the different investigations, which is very helpful to the visual learner. Great quick resource for those getting started in DFIR.
