Digital forensics as a career

I’ve received some emails from my Linkedin colleagues asking me whether digital forensics is good for their career.

Well, if you ask me about digital forensics, I will tell you that it is the best for you.

Most probably, I’m bias here, but I can’t help it.

Apart from family, I’m devoting my life to digital forensics. Almost everyday I’ve to read about digital forensics.

For those who are thinking to pursue their career in digital forensics, you can ask digital forensic experts (general or specific questions) or you can read digital forensics magazines to get more information; and of course literatures.

There are two new publications by eforensics magazines for you to read and loads of digital forensic literatures.

-       An ebook: Real life computer forensics

-       A magazine: Let’s play forensic tools

My research is more towards data recovery and there are two good articles for you to read.

Hopefully you'll get some ideas if digital forensics is good for you.

Good luck!
