Joeychgo.com Fantastic
I've been in IT for over 25 years, and in that time I've read a lot of technical books. "File System Forensic Analysis" is not only the best book I have read on computer forensics, it's probably the best technical work in ANY field I've ever read. It's thoroughly researched, clearly written, and contains virtually no fluff. The numerous rave reviews it has received are well-deserved. br / br /My only quibble is the short, but seemingly gratuitous section on hexadecimal and decimal arithmetic. If you're ready for this book, you'll already know this stuff. But, that's only a few pages in a book that's otherwise packed with real substance. br /

Joeychgo.com Superb!!
I can't say enough good things about this book and author. The material is beautifully laid out and the writing style is fluid and effortless. The author has a real talent for using metaphors and figures to illustrate elusive concepts. br / br /All but the very rarest file systems are covered, and numerous 'screenshots' show how to use the Linux command prompt and get your hands dirty exploring disks on your own. br / br /While this book is a gold standard for digital forensic examiners, it would also be valuable to the computer enthusiast who's interested in things such as what happens to their hard drive when they format it, exactly what happens during the boot process, etc. br / br /I've had 3 courses in digital forensics, and this book gives an in-depth discussion of disk level concepts (HPA, FAT, MFT, etc) that were merely glossed over in my formal studies.

Joeychgo.com Great resource
Great resource on file systems and file system data structures, although I wish it covered Apple's HFS+.

Joeychgo.com The bible for File System Forensics
Great Book. Great job Brian. A must have in your bookshelf if you are serious about computer forensics. br /It only lacks two things to be perfect: a reiserfs and a HFS+ sections. br / br /Only an error. GPT partition schema isn't used only in big servers. New Intel Macintoshes use it by default for their boot drive.
