Materials relating to computer forensis and related technologies relevant to law firms and legal practitioners. Mainly focused on the Asia Pacific region. Includes selected resources which are directly downloadable from this site.

List of peer reviewed academic and scientific journals reporting new research and methodologies in the field of computer forensis. There are thousands of scientific journals, and we include here only those which are directly relevant.

The books listed here are selected from the broadly defined topic of computer forensis. Some titles also have short annotation with our personal opinions and advice. When available, we will also include additional links to the authors’ sites which sometimes include sample book chapters or additional material of interest.

Often it is difficult for us to decide whether a book should be included on our list or not. There are many books of interest to computer forensics investigators and researchers which we decided not to include, as we believe that they belong to other fields. For example there is a wide range of publications dealing with security (including computer security) and those books are usually not listed here. However, sometimes we make an exception and include a book which strictly speaking belongs to another field. We are guided more by relevance and usefulness of a book than rigid classification criteria.

The list is continuously growing, and it is our intention to make it as comprehensive and complete as possible. All links are to Amazon Web pages, as we found that firstly the publisher’s links are often changed and secondly the Amazon pages often include customer reviews which sometimes provide well informed and useful opinions.

Computer hardware links.

Computer software links (free, Open Source and commercial).

Computers represent the fastest growing technology ever developed by humanity. It would be a huge task to attempt to classify all resources pertaining to the field of computing and digital forensis. Such a classification should include links to resources dealing with a very wide range of topics including computer hardware and software, legal resources, sites dealing with security, etc. The “Interesting Links” page provides a practical solution to this dilemma: there we included links to the best Web sites we found which in turn contain comprehensive lists of links to other places. No list can ever hope to be complete, and by directing you to other pages we hopefully help you with locating useful information.

Please remember that various Internet search engines (for example Google) can help to locate interesting materials, however the search engines index only a limited number of Web pages and due to their peculiarities they often provide less than perfect results. If you are interested why that it so, just use any search engine and type the search argument “how internet search engines work”.
