Best incident response and computer forensic tool kit?

[Amaru]

Curious to hear what people are using for doing detailed forensics... I know Helix is a popular open source option. Does anyone have any recommendations what works best for them and why?

Thanks in advance.

I use FTk and EnCase. FTK is by far the better. Very easy and user friendly

I agree that FTK and EnCase are definately staples in the forensic community. Also, give the linux distro helix a try, it isnt as powerful as their commercial counterparts but it is free and can help get you off the ground.

FTK FTW!

Back Track 3 and STD Tools include some great tools.
