TOP REVIEWS FROM WINDOWS OS FORENSICS
It is a well written course for those starting out in Digital Forensics such as myself. Highly recommended for those who wish to understand the importance of file systems in Forensics
A nice course by a nice instructor on a nice platform.
A very good course. But need improvement, since it called Windows OS Forensics, it should cover more about Windows artifacts. But overall, great content. Thanks a lot.
Excellent Course with very clear cut explanations. Thank you !!!
