Product Description:
This is an advanced cookbook and reference guide for digital forensic practitioners. File System Forensic Analysis focuses on the file system and disk. The file system of a computer is where most files are stored and where most evidence is found; it also the most technically challenging part of forensic analysis. This book offers an overview and detailed knowledge of the file system and disc layout. The overview will allow an investigator to more easily find evidence, recover deleted data, and validate his tools. The cookbook section will show how to use the many open source tools for analysis, many of which Brian Carrier has developed himself.

While this book is a gold standard for digital forensic examiners, it would ... Read More

Great resource on file systems and file system data structures, although I wish it covered Apple's HFS+.
Rating: - The bible for File System Forensics
Great Book. Great job Brian. A must have in your bookshelf if you are serious about computer forensics.
It only lacks two things to be perfect: a reiserfs and a HFS+ sections.
Only an error. GPT partition schema isn't used only in big servers. New Intel Macintoshes use it by default for their boot drive.
