Request: GCFA Practice Exams

gwood113

Curious if anyone out there has a spare GCFA practice test they'd be willing to give. Getting ready to take it this Friday and wouldn't mind the extra practice.

Cheers,
George

If anyone wants it PM me.

Congrats on the pass. Mind giving a brief write-up of the materials used and what you felt you learned/benefited from the certification pursuit?

@NetworkNewb, the practice exam is gone already.

I prepared for GCFA via FOR508 Live Training and On-demand. It's an outstanding course that includes a large amount of hands-on time to re-enforce lecture; I highly recommend taking the course if you're able. I learned a great deal about memory/disk forensic acquisition/analysis and timeline creation/analysis with a variety of open source tools to effectively perform a host-based forensic investigation.

A couple books that relate to the subject matter:

Incident Response & Computer Forensics, Third Edition, 3rd Edition: Safari Books Online - Premium

The Art of Memory Forensics: Detecting Malware and Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory: Safari Books Online - Premium
