Dear Colleagues, Here is an interesting thing that I found. Its a 3D animation of Linux source code development. Its a bit large file of about 9 MB. But its...
I'd like to formally announce my latest open-source tool called tcpxtract. <a href="http://tcpxtract.sf.net">http://tcpxtract.sf.net/</a> tcpxtract is a tool...
We may have a project coming up where we need to image copy 10 to 20 drives from various PC's and servers, in relatively short order. The opportunity to make...
Is using the actual machines (PC's & servers) themselves an option? If so, drop an IDE drive in each of the machines (on the second IDE channel, or if they are...
Jacques's approach has worked for me. I have done over 20 in one day with this approach, single-handed. (Average drive size was about 40Gb on that one, but...
... This is certainly a good idea, and something that may be applicable in a different situation. Unfortunately, some or most of the servers have been in...
... I dearly hope those servers are working well enough to boot a diskette, at least the ones with RAID controllers. There may be software that truly does ...
There are two schools of thoughts on imaging RAIDS, relying on the RAID volumes served up by the hardware RAID controller, or acquiring the individual drives...
... This depends on your analysis tools, and the sources acquired. For example, using SMART for Linux to acquire using the partition aligned option allows for...
By the way if you are working on the Windows side and don't have a forensic tool such as EnCase, FTK, ProDiscover, or other such tool that will allow you to...
... SMART is not open source, and rather costly, IMO. We've heard good things about SMART, and perhaps we aren't viewing it from the proper ROI point of view,...
... [...] ... I was thinking that if we have to set up partition-by-partition image copies that there would be more steps involved than just copying the entire...
The thing to remember about SMART is that so far ASRData has never charged for an upgrade. To date they've all be absolutely free for the past 15+ years (and...

I would like to know how you would go about tracking Instant messenger. I am especially interested in how to track where a message came from and any logs. ...

Personally when I want to mount a USB device in Linux, I simply connect it and then execute the dmesg command. The last lines displayed should show you how...
Based on farmerdude's recommendations, and those of others on this list ... I've been experimenting with IDE drives plugged into an inexpensive firewire/usb2...

Gary, We have used the FireFly for quite some fime with multiple products and multiple operating systems. We are quite happy with it. It is a windows...
Gary, USB/1394 to ATA Bridges: If you're in read-write mode, you definitely should think about unmounting any active file system before unhooking it from your...

I dont know whether this was mentioned but you can scan for device names of recognized USB devices by grabbing the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script(google), running...
For those of you in the /proc mindset you can also tell where it's at by issuing cat /proc/partitions before and after the device is connected. Jeff....
I'd appreciate some advice. We have an image of a Sparc disk from a RAID1 (mirror) configuration with VTOC partitions. fdisk -l and mmls both give the same...
