    The same Publisher for the Hacking Exposed series also released some
    good books along the line of computer forensics called "Hacker's
    Challenge". There are two books in this series and they cover a veriety
    of comprimises on Windows, *nix, LANs, etc. The way the book is written,
    it gives you the details of events along a timeline, then asks you a
    series of questions to test your knowledge. The answers and
    Administrator's response is detailed in the back of the book.

    *Hacker's Challenge : Test Your Incident Response Skills Using 20
    Scenarios*
        By - Mike Schiffman
        - McGraw-Hill Osborne Media; ISBN: 0072193840

    *Hacker's Challenge 2: Test Your Network Security & Forensic Skills
        *By* - *Mike Schiffman
        - McGraw-Hill Osborne Media; ISBN: 0072226307

    I've read the first book and found it to be very good. I just orded the
    second book.

    Hope this helps =)
