precious few books on the topic to date. Luckily, Practical

addition to any bookshelf.”

“I am a big fan of this book, and found it to contain the right
amount of technical content coupled with important concepts and
concerns surrounding forensic imaging. I’d encourage anyone in DFIR
who is imaging regularly or looking to increase their Linux skills
to check out a copy of the book.”

“Cybercrime and digital forensics expert Bruce Nikkel describes the
use of open source command line technology to obtain and manage
forensic data. Target readers are the expanding number of forensic
practitioners including forensic and electronic discovery
technicians in legal, auditing, and consulting firms; incident
response teams; law enforcement forensic specialists; and forensic
investigators.”

“It's commonly said that you should assume the bad guys have
already breached your networks. The ability to carry out forensic
examinations is one of the key skills you'll need in response to
that risk, and this book is a solid introduction to acquiring those
skills.”
—Network Security Newsletter
"I loved Bruce Nikkel's book Practical Forensic Imaging from
@nostarch - but his new book Practical Linux Forensics is [fire].
Beginner to intermediate, and a good desktop reference."
