Linux forensics - Introduction

| OK, now we're ready. We have the basic understanding of what forensics really 
| means, compared to serious housekeeping. We also have our must-have toolkit  
| ready.

Digital Forensics in Linux - Reclaiming Data Off a Failed Hard Drive.

,----[ Quote ]
| I recently spoke with a lady who operates a Forensic Accounting consultancy. 
| During the course of our conversation, she indicated that from time-to-time 
| she receives requests for computer data related assistance. Namely, obtaining 
| deleted information off hard drives or data off failed drives. Her business 
| operates on Windows based platforms and she was wondering how productive I 
| had found Linux. (I’m an Ubuntu Linux user). And if I could use Linux to 
| garner “lost” data (sending drives to professional labs is very expensive for 
| her clients). While I’m not a data “reclamation” or computer data forensic 
| expert (by any stretch of the imagination), nevertheless I’ve delved into 
| this aspect on occasion. (Mostly when a hard drive fails).

Notes on Vista forensics

,----[ Quote ]
| The problems are not only related to forensic software, however, and
| while some may be addressed with a simple driver update others may
| be considered even more fundamental as Scott A Moulton of Forensic
| Strategy Services, LLC. explains: "I still have major problems
| mounting large drives under Vista. I use many 1 terabyte or 2
| terabyte drives and Vista is absolutely worthless on these drives -
| I'm lucky if Vista does not actually mess the drive up. Deleting
| files is a nightmare and sometimes takes days. Just simply copying
| files is so slow it is unbearable.
| 
| "I received quite a few responses from people who have had similar
| issues and it seems that DRM [Digital Rights Management] may be the
| most probable cause. They've found that Vista tries to check each 
| file to see if there is a protection flag on it or not before even
| deleting the file."

| Vista—Microsoft’s latest operating system—may prove to be most
| appropriately named, especially for those seeking evidence of how a
| computer was used.

How to break forensics software 

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the problems they found was that EnCase didn't like mangled MBRs, and 
| from this they noticed that Linux and EnCase handled file systems in a 
| completely different way. If you make a directory loop manually, EnCase hides 
| all the files from that point on while Linux can see it just fine. Similarly, 
| if you make a deeply nested directory, thousands deep with no other children, 
| EnCase crashes. Both can be used to hide things, and both will be fixed in a 
| near future revision.
