I sat down this afternoon and passed my GIAC Advanced Filesystem Recovery and Memory Forensics Skills Test and Report (STAR) test. I took the SANS Security 526:Advanced Filesystem Recovery and Memory Forensics course while at SANS Network Security 2009 in San Diego at the tail end of my week long SANS Computer Forensics, Investigation, and Response class (and boy was I tired).

I can’t say enough about how great both of these courses are and I hope that I fare as well on the GIAC Certified Forensics Analyst (GCFA) exam when I sit for it in the coming months. If you ever get an opportunity I strongly recommend you take both of these courses.
