A digital forensics certification?

KGhaleon

Is there one, or a recommended one? I think some companies like EnCase offer one but it generally can't be obtained without experience in the area of forensics.

Is it unrealistic to say that a person could dab in forensics without attending a 6-month or longer training course? I understand the rules of evidence somewhat and know that damaging evidence won't help your case...all the reason not to trust someone with no experience.

I've been messing around with tools and LiveCDs lately:

Just got me ticking.

This is what you are going to want to get. You are also going to want FTK and EnCase, but since those are extemely expensive it is best to wait out and get a job where they send you to a week long training and spend the $10,000+ to get you ready.
