Impressions: iPhone and iOS Forensics

The third forensics book in this batch is iPhone and iOS Forensics (IAIF) by Andrew Hoog and Katie Strzempka. This book is similar to iOS Forensic Analysis: for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch by Sean Morrissey, in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 sense that neicá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r book is as strong as I might have hoped. Oddly enough, cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 aspects of Morrissey's book that were most compelling (like his overview of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 various i-devices and attention to each of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m) are weaker in IAIF.

I found IAIF to be a little confusing in its approach, with lack of rigor around discussing iPhone vs ocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r platforms. I felt cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 authors should have eicá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r focused on one platform or given all of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m equal attention. I also disliked mixing of what seemed to be jailbroken and non-jailbroken content. I prefer for forensics books to avoid using jailbreak techniques where possible, but it would have been helpful for cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 authors to be very clear where and why cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y use such methods.

Chapter 4 was supposed to cover security, but it was overall very disappointing. Chapter 6 probably has cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 core data of interest to a forensic investigator, namely where to find certain types of evidence (email, Web history, etc.) and how to get it. This is cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 sort of data missing from cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 Xbox book I just addressed.

I liked cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 material on downgrading iOS on a phone, but didn't like reading about basic Linux information in chapter 1. That should have been in an appendix.
