What's the main goal of a static acquisition?

to preserve the digital evidence.

Name three formats of digital forensics acquisitions.

Raw Format, Proprietary Formats, Advance Forensic Format

What are two advantages and disadvantages of the raw format?

fast data transfers and capability to ignore minor data read errors on the source drive, Requires as much storage space as the original disk or that it might not collect marginal (bad) sectors on the source drive.

List two features common with proprietary format acquisition files.

to compress or not to compress, Capability to split an image into smaller segmented files, Capability to integrate metadata into the image file ( date and time, hash values).

Of all the proprietary formats, which one is the unofficial standard?

Name two commercial tools that can make a forensic sector-by-sector copy of a drive to a larger drive.

EnCase, SafeBack, and SnapCopy

What does a logical acquisition collect for an investigation?

only specific files of interest to the case

What does a sparse acquisition collect for an investigation?

fragments of unallocated data in addition to the logical allocated data

What should you consider when determining what data acquisition method to use?

size of the source drive, whether the source drive be retained as evidence, how long the acquisition will take, and where the disk evidence is located

Why is it a good practice to make two images of a suspect drive in a critical investigation?

to ensure at least one good copy of the forensically collected data in case of any failures

When you perform an acquisition at a remote location, what would you consider to prepare for this task?

determining whether there's sufficient electrical power and lighting and checking the temperature and humidity at the location

With newer Linux kernel distributions, what happens if you connect a hot-swappable device, such a USB drive, containing evidence?

Newer Linux distributions automatically mount the USB device, which could alter data on it.

n a Linux shell the fdisk -1 command lists the suspect drive as /dev/hda1. Is the following dcfldd command correct?
dcfldd if=image_file.img of=/dev/sha1.

False
The correct command is dcfldd if=/dev/hda1 of=image_file.img. If performing the other command without a write blocker could alter the data and thus remove that evidence from existence in a case if no write blocker was used.

What is the most critical aspect of computer evidence?

What is a hashing algorithm?

A program designed to create a binary or hexadecimal number that represents the uniqueness of a data set, file, or entire disk

The Linux dcfldd command, which tree options are used for validation data?

What's the maximum file size when writing data to a FAT32 drive?

2 GB (a limitation of FAT file systems)

What are two concerns when acquiring data from a RAID server?

1) amount of data storage needed.2) the type of RAID server (0, 1, 5, etc.)3) whether your acquisition tool can handle RAID acquisitions.4) whether your analysis tool can handle RAID data

5) whether your analysis tool can split RAID data into separate drives

With remote acquisitions, what problems should you be aware of?

a. Data transfer speedsb. Access permissions over the network

c. Antivirus, antispyware, and firewall programs

How does ProDiscover Investigation encrypt the connection between the examiners and suspect's computers?

ProDiscover provides 256-bit AES or Twofish encryption with GUID and encrypts the password on the suspect's workstation.

What is the ProDiscover remote access program?

Which computer forensics tools can connect to suspect's remote computer and run surreptitiously?

EnCase Enterprise, ProDiscover Investigator, and ProDiscover Incident Response

EnCase, FTK, SMART, and ILook treat an image file as though it were the original disk.

FTK Imager can acquire data in a drive's host protected area.

Advanced Forensic Format (AFF)

An open-source data acquisition format that stores image data and metadata.

host protected area (HPA)

An area of a disk drive reserved for booting utilities and diagnostic programs. It is not visible to the computer's OS.

A data acquisition method used when a suspect computer can't be shut down to perform a static acquisition.

A data acquisition method used when a suspect computer can't be shut down to perform a static acquisition.

This data acquisition method captures only specific files of interest to the case or specific types of files.

This data acquisition method captures only specific files of interest to the case or specific types of files.

A data acquisition format that creates simple sequential flat files of a suspect drive or data set

redundant array of independent disks (RAID)

Two or more disks combined into one large drive in several configurations for special needs.

This data acquisition method captures only specific files of interest to the case, but also collects fragments of unallocated (deleted) data.

A data acquisition method used when a suspect drive is write-protected and can't be altered.

A data acquisition method used when a suspect drive is write-protected and can't be altered.

An encryption technique that performs a sector-by-sector encryption of an entire drive. Each sector is encrypted in its entirety, making it unreadable when copied with a static acquisition method.
