2. What is HotPlug?
Hot Plug is a device that
allows a forensic
investigator disconnect a
computer from the power
of the wall outlet to a
battery power and
transport it to the lab or
elsewhere without shutting
the computer down.
3. How do you
implement it into
your investigation?
If the criminal was in the
act of committing a crime,
you can capture the
evidence using a hot
seizure.
The device to begin the
seizure is called a PCD
(Plug Capture Device).
4. Plug Capture Device
Pull the computer wall plug out a
little bit then attach this end on the
wall plug and pull out the plug.
Then insert it into a UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply).
Remove the device. Then you can
remove the computer from the
location.
5. How is this possible?
HotPlug Mouse Jiggler
Ensures that power is still
flowing from the computers
input to another A/C (active
current)source.
If the computer is not
plugged into a surge
protector, you will need the
Plug Capture Device.
You can use Mouse Jiggler to
prevent encryption from
activating. It allows you to
transport the computer while
maintaining full access to the
hard drive.
Cool!
Right!
