Hi,

Was looking to start imaging my machines and starting to uncover what I can from each.

As i'm just starting, I do not have much money spare to purchase software, so would like to use Open Source, freeware and shareware software only.

Does anyone know of a list anywhere to help me get started? If not, would it be possible to post a list of some here?

Kind Regards

Minesh

Ps, I already have those from the downloads section here - was hoping for anything else which might help.  

Minesh,

It might help if you could share what OSs you're working with...  

Sorry, first and foremost, I will be working on XP, and then will move onto Vista and other Windows platforms. Dont know enough about Unix systems to work with them for a while.

Thanks  

Should also take a look at opensourceforensics.org  

You should check out my book, it covers a lot of freeware...

Windows Forensic Analysis  

Thanks Harlen, but not much time for reading books atm, hence the hands on approach... hopefully soon though.

Still after a lot of analysis tools - have image itching to be looked at.:)  

Minesh,

It's not about reading a book...I was trying to answer your question.

Odd...you have no time to put into getting the information yourself, but expect others to put the time into giving you the information that's already out there...
