2017: Well, here we are. After almost 10 years, the LinuxLeo guide has been updated. We've gone from around 190 pages to up over 300. Much has changed in the past 10 years, but I've almost continuously received requests for a guide that is better matched to current software releases. In the intervening years since the previous version was released in 2008, we have seen a massive growth in the availablility of Linux software for forensics. Or, more precisely, open source software. Many of these new utilities now run on Windows and Mac as well, forcing us to re-address the usefulness of Linux as a forensic platfrom. This new 2017 version of the guide expands the exercises and content to cover some of these new tools. But more importantly it provides more of a "platform" approach to Linux, providing some introduction into the configuration and maintenance of Linux. This new version of the guide still concentrates on tools, but also tries to impart the idea that Linux is a platform that forenisc examiners need to know and maintain to use effectively and safely.
