The Official CHFI Study Guide (Exam 312-49): for Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator

Customer Reviews:

Excellent resource and guide

By Bill Wynne - November 2, 2008

I purchased this book in August as one of the pieces for my self training for the computer forensics discipline. I purchased it with the intent of downloading the PDF version and putting it on my Amazon Kindle so I could easily carry the book with me.
