Craig. I've also taken some SANS classes and they have been very good.
Check into some of their classes that are offered through the edu arena for some significant cost savings. For example, I generally attend the weeklong class at VA. Tech. I think they did a forensics class last year. I didn't get to go to that one. Here is the info for anyone interested in this years offering. Apologies in advance to those of you not eligible. Hi there. This is our January reminder that we're offering another SANS-EDU training event in March 2008. This time it's a series of 1 and 2 day courses. The cost for the entire event is $700/person. Normally, each of the classes would be ~$2K/person for each course in the real world so this is a substantial savings for us. Here's the event information.

You'd have to check their website for specifics, but it's what the police departments out here use for that. (Also, our local college campus had a class on it as well, very interesting stuff.)

I have been quite happy with courses I have taken from them. http://www.sans.org/training/description.php?mid=98&portal=bcf0aca318ff2 09c44a607a77923220d Unfortunately, I cannot speak firsthand about their forensics course. From: Sauvigne, Craig M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 2:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Computer forensics training I am looking into computer forensics training to better assist in computer crime issues with our campus police department. I am looking to learn things such as data recovery from formatted media to tracking emails to recovering web browsing history and everything else I can learn. I know how to do some of these things to a certain degree but would really like to get more in depth and formal training. Does anyone know of a good company that trains in this area? I prefer classroom training to online but would work with online. I have found a few by searching online but I would like to get opinions from some people who have taken similar training and can recommend places based on firsthand knowledge. Thanks. ==================== Craig M.
