Applied Incident Response

Haven’t read as the print quality is terrible. Pages are stuck together and it’s impossible to read it without destroying the book.

This book is a bit of an anomaly. Ever since I purchased "Mastering Windows Network Forensics and Investigation" (1st and 2nd editions) years ago, I've been curious as to why the author hadn't published anything further. I was excited to see this book announced and even more so, after having read it, to learn that my anticipation was not in vain. This book is the most valuable book on DFIR that I've ever found. The coverage is comprehensive, thorough, and covers many of the latest "cutting edge" DFIR techniques. With that said, this book is an anomaly in that it is so very valuable but seems to be, as of yet, still widely unknown to the cybersecurity community. I would encourage anyone in (or even interested in) the cybersecurity field to purchase this book and study it thoroughly. Personally, this book is easily near the top of my list of favorites and I will be amazed if it doesn't hold it's title as the most valuable cybersecurity book that I've read this year.

This book covers a lot of topics and touches the most important parts. The topics are presented clearly and in a concise manner and it's a great addition to people studying forensics / incident response.

I have being performing assessments at a Federal Agency for about 4 years, time for a change. So I order Applied Incident Response and have read about 5 chapters and have been very happy with the book The author is clearly knowledgeable, an "expert" in the subject matter, but many expert write poorly. Steve Anson writes with great clarity which makes reading/learning a pleasure. Additionally, the book is filled with detailed links to tools, articles, books ... to supplement the book. The examples of tools, e.g., Security Onion, the corresponding screenshots and text are perfectly in sync and easy to follow. Great technical content and the book is a pleasure to read.

A must have, time tested and useful in difficult situations. Of course, if you get where I’m going with that comment. Simplified, even the Exec’s understand it and that’s a huge win when budget season comes.

So I haven't had the chance to read it yet (heard really good things about this book!) but the book came somewhat damaged on the front cover. there are some scratches around the cover of the book and appears a bit bent between a bit the "E" in Incident and "N" in response. Still OK that it came in one piece haha.
