What GIAC study materials

bigmantenor

I was curious if anyone knows of any books/resources for studying for the GCIA exam. I'm really interested in getting this cert, but so far I haven't found much training besides the $3000+ training course (a bit out of my league money-wise).
Any help is greatly appreciated! Edit: I'm a bit dyslexic, so I edited this. I'm looking for information about the GCIA exam lol.

Unlike most other vendor-specific exams, there are no third-party study materials for the GCIA aside from the books available through SANS. You can always look through the syllabus and assemble your own resources, but the exam is more or less based on the actual course materials.

Thanks for the info/good threads. I actually have a few IDS books coming in the mail, so I will start from there and then reassess.
