 Outdated, author unhelpful. Stay away!Feb 15, 2010
This book is definitly not for you in active forensics. The methods described are outdated, the book only covers up til iphone OS 2.x, nothing you will find in a realworld scenario 2009/2010.
Upon contacting the author for an updated method, which oreilly boasts about on their website aswell as the author, the author wants you to pay him $5000 annually. Keep away from this charlatan, do some online research instead, you will learn more, starting with dev-teams redsnow and othe FREE utils, you can modify those utils to do the work, forensically sound.
I am very disapointed. Shame on you Zdziarsky. Shame on you O'reilly books.

 Essential for any forensic examinerJan 22, 2010
Zdziarski has literally written the bible of iPhone forensics in this book. It is written not from the standpoint of hacking the device, but from obtaining and preserving the digital evidence on the device. The methodology is sound, and verifiable. Exceptionally well documented, it has proven to be one of my best, and most used, reference books. If you have a forensic examination of an iPhone, you shouldn't proceed until you've read this book.

S. PunjaMay 27, 2009
Jonathan has written and developed excellent content in this manual that was orgininally created for LE agencies. The book will utilize all your grey matter and is a very intensive read. The methods and processes described in the manual work quite well and is an excellent guide for his workshops.
For those that have given his work poor reviews, then perhaps they would like to improve on his work and quit complaining.

Excellent process for acquiring DD dump of iPhoneMay 27, 2009
This book is an excellent documentation of the processes required to bypass the passcode of a locked iPhone and for hashing and creating a DD image of the two data partitions found on the iPhone. Works for both 1.X and 2.X iphones. I also recommend taking the course, well worth the money and provides an excellent hands on for the processes found in the book. Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge and an excellent instructor.

 Well-written and informative, but over-pricedSep 28, 2008
I wish the author had just put the info on a free website. The book is just a document, a pamphlet as another reviewer mentioned. I feel a bit ripped-off. In fact, in one place the author actually says "before proceeding, ensure that the firmware ... falls within the range of versions supported by this document." He is referring to the book but calling it a document. I think he intended it to be just a document and O'Reilly convinced him to make it a book so O'Reilly could make some money.
As far as technical material, it's all good and well-written. There are a few cases where it appears the O'Reilly editor might have cluelessly changed a sentence, but those cases are rare compared to some professionally-edited books. There are some typos, even in the author's bio! But few compared to many books. The index was rushed, I'm guessing. It didn't include the items I wanted to find.
The only other caveat I can think of is that if you are considering forensically analyzing your iPhone just for fun, be prepared for quite a bit of work and possible headaches. With firmware 2.x, there are numerous, reasonably complex steps that must be followed. You will need lots of time and patience and little aversion to risk. Note that you are jail-breaking your phone so that you can install utilities in the system partition, which voids the warranty from what I understand. Also, you could brick your iPhone, though in theory you could restore it if there are problems.
All in all, great info for forensics examiners in law-enforcement and corporations. I give it three stars instead of five because of the high price for a pamphlet.
