SANS ICS Cyber Security Challenge Write-Up-Part 1

I just saw the scores for the SANS ICS Cyber Security Challenge.  I place 14th out of 483 participants.  This was the first time that I'd used volatility.  I don't have any formal education in digital forensics.  The only experience that I have in forensics is with each of the cyber challenges that I have done.  Some may not have done as well as they could have because they had work or family responsibilities, so I'm taking this placing with a grain of salt.  I didn't finish the whole challenge because I wanted to work on the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge.  It does make me wonder how well I could do if I picked an area in cyber security and applied myself towards learning it.

I'm posting what I did get done, even if it's not correct.
