The XWF Guide aka, “going like hot cakes”

Not to put on any pressure, but I’ve been informed the XWF Guide is planned for reprint due to the preorder demand.  For those that preordered, that was a good idea, you may have your guide by now or it’s in the mail.  For those that were waiting for the book to come out first instead of preordering, you may want to hurry.   I’m not sure how long it takes to reprint more books (that’s like, beyond the guys that just type the words…).  Then again, you could always wait for the next go around for reprints…

Amazon still looks to have the best price, but only a few copies left before they have to order more.

**Update**

Looks like most have received their preorders, and those that waited late might have to wait again for a reprint.  Direct link to Amazon – XWF Guide.

Elsevier SciTechConnect

Our publisher has a new blog written by their authors.  So, for all of us that read books by Syngress (an imprint of Elsevier), you may find your favorite authors writing about something of interest.  Although it is yet another blog, it’s also a little different being that it one place with their authors writing posts about the books we read.

And of course, the X-Ways Guide has a post too…

Guess I’m not the only one with a Kindle…

Looks like more Kindle readers than paperback readers.   Then again, it’s easier to have the Kindle at your desk than a stack of books when you are fighting through hex, decoding registry values, and spilling coffee on the desk.

The X-Ways Forensics Practitioners Guide is available in Kindle!

It certainly feels like a long time has passed, but the time is finally here, at least for the Kindle. Order through Amazon and you can have the book on your Kindle in less than a minute. 

Although it feels like it took a long time (at least for me), Eric and I finished the book 6 months ahead of schedule.  If you don’t have a Kindle, you can at least read the Introduction through the link below.  We hope (and know) this guide will be your best friend to your XWF dongle.

The XWF Guide discount ship has sailed

But, Amazon still has the discount as of right now!  My guess is that Amazon will be ending their 40% discount since the publisher ended their sale.  So you may not have missed the boat yet, but you may want to hurry.

Last day for the 40% discount on the XWF Guide!

This is one of those times that procrastinating will cost you money….

What will you tell yourself when you have to spend twice as much for the XWF Guide after tomorrow?

Another free tool for X-Ways, from Magnet Forensics

Magnet Forensics provides a FREE tool at http://info.magnetforensics.com/tsv-to-tln-converter, which converts the X-Ways generated TSV file into the TLN format.  From the tutorial, this looks to be pretty neat and you can’t beat the price either.

Now this is good.
