Digital Forensic Tool Testing Images
Brian's Tools - Includes links to SleuthKit and Autopsy
Forensic Tool Kit free trial
FTK is a nice tool to play around with for Windows users, especially with the testing images. The free trial does have a limit of 5,000 files per image so if you create or work on testing images you may have to get rid of extraneous junk and leave the good stuff. SleuthKit and Autopsy are great for the *nix environment. After you get those tools working you might give Scan of the Month challenges 24 and 26 from The Honeynet Projecta shot. They're both pretty fun and challenging. Don't worry if you don't know what you're doing. Both of the challenges have writeups done on how to accomplish the tasks and what tools were used if you need guidance.
