Hi Members,

my name is Georg, i am from Germany and i study computer science.
At the moment, i make a practical training in a softwarehouse.

Originally, i am from poland, so sorry about my bad english!

For my future job, i want to take a (deeper) look into IT-Forensic.

Now, i am looking for some software (freeware if possible - but all so not so expensive Software) for making my first steps into IT-Forensics.

At the moment, i have downloaded and installed KALI (www.kali.org).

But i have no idear how to start…

So, my question is
1. Which software should i use/download?
1a. Is KALI ok to start?

2. Are there any "test cases" or "learning cases" with a story and a solution which i can download anywhere?
What i mean I download an image (or whatever) and read the story (for example There was a bank rubbery and the rubber looses his Notebook. Now, it is my job to find out something about the robber…).
Now, i investigate the notebook and find out what i can…
After this, i read the solution to check if i find out anything thats possible…

3. Are there any free tutorials/videos about "how to start", special for beginners?

I would really appreciate if anybody can help me a bit!

Thanks a lot!
Georg

Check youtube for various topics…lots of videos from different conferences/relevant speakers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/computerforensics/

The discussions in the above link are pretty decent.

Big fan of linuxleo and keydets blog is pretty info heavy. Also, check out sans forensic blog lots of useful information nuggets there.

Stumbled upon this last night, thought it may be of use.
