"Syngress [is] by far the best publisher of digital forensics and general security booksId certainly recommend this book and after reading through itit looks great. Its written by the guys who coined the use of the word Triage in this context, so they know what they are talking about, and unlike many real technical books this one really does dig into the investigative techniques that should be used at the crime scene, including quite an interesting analysis of Battlefield Crime Scenes, where a triage approach is by far the only way to successfully approach the forensics problem." -Tony Campbell, Publisher, Digital Forensics Magazine
