What’s new in this second edition?
Key Features:
Learn about the field of computer forensics
Understand common Windows-based operating system artifacts
Be able to select open-source and commercial forensic tools

I’ve gone through the entire book to ensure that I enhanced anything I didn’t like in the previous edition. I’ve also updated some parts to reflect new or changed features in software or operating system artifacts. Finally, I’ve added two new chapters covering online investigations and networking basics, along with academic resources available for educators teaching computer forensics.
What’s New:
Academic resources
New chapter – Online Investigations
New Chapter – Network Basics
Case studies of successful digital investigations
What trajectory does this book take to help its readers learn computer forensics?
The book is structured to take the reader from the beginning of the journey to becoming a computer forensic investigator, from selecting hardware and software to be used in the investigation to in-depth analysis of Windows-based operating system artifacts. I’ve also included discussions about note-taking, ethics, and how to testify about the investigation findings.
This edition includes exercises that will allow the reader to practice the skills presented in the book. Educators will also have access to a set of academic resources to assist them in teaching computer forensics.
At the completion of the book, readers will have an understanding and instinctively know how to approach challenges concerning computer forensic investigations. My goal is for this book to be a resource for digital investigators of any level of expertise.
What are the key takeaways of this book?
No one can remember everything that concerns a digital investigation, which can be far more intimidating for a novice. Reading this book can help reduce that fear and allow beginners to understand the requirements of digital investigation. I want this book to be a resource for new investigators and academic instructors teaching the next generation of forensic investigators. This is why I’ve included tips from my experiences and those of other investigators to help new investigators bypass some of the hurdles they may encounter.
