First let me start off by saying I did not write this, so all credit goes to senior special agent Ernest Baca.Never the less i thought I would post it beings how i found it very informative and very interesting.It is a very long tutorial so instead of posting it I figure I will just post the link.This is for anybody who is interested in computer forensics and very useful tools in the field.hope you like.

I am going to put this doc through its paces. It is well written and I'm sure that we can use it as a backup solution to our current forensic software (Encase) and procedures. Who knows, it may turn out to be a better method and a hell of a lot cheaper :)

Good find!
