About TheHitchhikersGuidetoDFIRExperiencesFromBeginnersandExperts

The Hitchhikers Guide to DFIR: Experiences From Beginners and Experts is a crowdsourced digital forensics and incident response book designed to lower barriers for community contribution while providing authors with a published chapter and an ISBN for their resumes.
