| Summary: | <p class="JDFSLParagraph">Cohen, F. (2008). Challenges to Digital Forensic Evidence. Livermore, CA: Fred Cohen & Associates. 129 pages, ISBN: 1-878109-41-3, US$39.</p><p class="JDFSLParagraph">Reviewed by Gary C. Kessler (gary.kessler@champlain.edu)</p><p class="JDFSLParagraph">This book is about evidence gleaned as the result of the digital forensics process and providing expert testimony about that evidence. I am always suspicious when someone self-proclaims themselves as an "expert" although all authors are doing just that, at least by inference. Readers who are familiar with the author, Fred Cohen, or his large body of published works will know that he neither proclaims his expertise quietly nor inaccurately. Indeed, Cohen is an ideal person to weigh in on the topic of suitability and malleability of information acquired from computers and about providing testimony about that information and the process with which it was found.</p><p class="JDFSLParagraph">(see PDF for full review)</p> |
