    as for delving deeper.. there's a distribution out that is
    specifically geared to computer forensics, and recovery. It's called
    Helix < http://www.e-fense.com/helix/ >. Very much worth a look. Has
    wifi capabilities, kismet, and all the other nifty tools...
    "Helix is used by SANS for training in Track 8: System Forensics,
    Investigation and Response."
