Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations

I just wanted to let people know that if you're a "noob" and just getting into forensics Course Technologies book, Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations is pretty decent. It comes with "cases" that you need to figure out. It provides some videos and it also provides a suite of demo tools (WinHex from X-Ways, FTK demo, FTK Imager, AccessData Registry Viewer, ProDiscover Basic, DiskExplorer NTFS/FAT from Runtime Software). I think that's about it. For $85 new i think it's a pretty good buy for new people looking to get their hands dirty and can't quite solve some of the other challenges online. It's the typical, "step-by-step" course technology book. It does have some decent content as well. I just got it so I can't speak to that as much.

In total the disk is about 7 gigs.
