Where Can I Study Computer Forensics?

Porthos asks: "Like many in the Slashdot community (though not all), I'm kind of bored at work. With tech work, there's always something more interesting than what I'm doing because I only have a few years experience and a Bachelor's degree. I want to go to grad school to study Computer Forensics, but I haven't a clue about where to start. Have any Slashdot readers taken this path? Are there any major universities that cater to this field? I know that some organizations, such as the FBI, have teams dedicated to Computer Forensics, but what is the rest of the forensics job market like?"

Although I can't tell you anything about getting a career in 'computer forensics', I have found some info that might help you.

Sun's BigAdmin security FAQs page has articles like "Basic Steps in the Forensic Analysis of Unix systems" and "Responding to Customer's Security Incidents". Some of them are from Sun, some from outside sources.

You might also want to try the Linux documentation project to find some good help files.
