Chapter 8: Common Forensic Tools
Overview
In this chapter, you'll learn more about:
· Explore disk imaging tools, forensic software tool sets, and miscellaneous software tools
· Understand computer forensic hardware
· Assemble your forensic tool kit
The first steps in any investigation nearly always involve old-fashioned detective work. As a forensic investigator, you need to observe and record your observations first. Once you start examining media contents, you'll need some tools to help you find and make sense of stored data.
Forensic investigators and computer examiners need several different types of tools to identify and acquire computer evidence. Some evidence is hidden from the casual observer and requires specialized tools to find and access. In this chapter, we'll examine a sampling of some common and popular tools available to carry out computer forensic tasks.
Disk Imaging and Validation Tools
After identifying the physical media that they suspect contains evidence, forensic investigators must make sure media is preserved before any further steps are taken. Preserving the media is necessary to provide assurance the evidence acquired is valid.
Chapter 3, "Computer Evidence," and Chapter 4, "Common Tasks," both emphasize the importance of copying all media first and then analyzing the copy. It's usually best to create an exact image of the media and verify that it matches the original before continuing the investigation. It's rare to examine the original evidence for any investigation that might end up in court. For other types of investigations, however, forensic investigators might perform a targeted examination on the original evidence. For example, assume the job is to examine a user's home folder on a server for suspected inappropriate material. It might be impossible or extremely difficult to create a mirror image of the disk drive, but the disk can be scanned for existing or deleted files while it is in use. Although examining media while in use might not always be the best practice, informal investigations use this technique frequently.
To Copy or Not to Copy?
Whenever possible, create a duplicate of the original evidence, verify the copy, and then examine the copy. Always invest the time and effort to copy original media for any investigation that might end up in a court of law. If you are sure your investigation will not end up in court, you might decide to analyze the original evidence directly. This is possible and desirable in cases where copying media would cause service interruptions.
Your choice of tools to use depends on several factors, including:
· Operating system(s) supported
Operating system(s) in which the tool runs
File systems the tool supports
· Price
· Functionality
· Personal preference
The following sections list some tools used to create and verify media copies. Some products appear in two places in the chapter. That's because several products play multiple roles. This section lists several products ...

Examine Evidence PartitionsAnalysis of four small partitions ext.docxcravennichole326
Examine Evidence Partitions
Analysis of four small partitions extracted from a suspect's hard drive. Your analysis will assess the nature of each partition—specifically, whether each partition is encrypted, compressed, wiped, or none.
Demonstration and hands-on training are always most effective, so you turn to the former in Step 2. Digital forensic investigators need to understand how to examine evidence partitions. In a case that you are working on currently, the suspect's computer contains four disk partitions. A disk partition is a portion of a whole disk with its own file system. Access the virtual lab to examine evidence partitions in order to determine whether files on each partition are encrypted, defragmented, securely deleted, or none of these. If they have been encrypted, what process was used: NTFS encrypted file systems, BitLocker, PGP, etc.?
After conducting your analysis, you demonstrate how you would document your findings in a formal forensic report. Include descriptions of destruction strategies such as wiping, overwriting, corruption, and degaussing. Make sure these strategies are explained in terms that IT temps, recent hires, and other nonexperts can understand in a consistent way. This will be the first section of your investigative report.
Share this section of the report with a colleague (your instructor) for review and feedback before continuing to the next step, where you will search for hidden data in files. Make sure to incorporate any suggested changes. This will be the first section of the sample investigative report to be included in the job aid submitted in the final step.
Lab Work Instruction:
Examine Evidence Partitions
You are provided four NTFS partitions from a hard drive, each about 100MB in size. One of the partitions has been defragmented, one used file encryption, and one used secure file deletion; no action has been taken on the other. Your task is to determine which action (if any) has been applied to each partition.
You will examine each partition using FTK (Imager is sufficient) and the Windows operating system. Your guidance for determining which actions have been taken on a specific partition are as follows:
Normal (no action):
· files are scattered throughout the partition
· you will see deleted files with content
· you will see data in file slack space
Defragmentation:
· files are stored in contiguous locations
· file slack space is zeroed out
· measurable with native OS tools
Encryption:
· file contents are “jibberish” (very little readable plain text)
· FTK may show a "key" icon
· OS may indicate encryption (e.g., "lock" icon)
Secure Wipe:
· deleted files in unallocated space will not contain any readable content
· there will not be any data in file slack space
To examine each of the partitions, perform the following steps until you are confident about which action was applied to each partition. The partitions for this exercise are raw dumps and are named partition_blue.d.

In this assignment you will develop simple scripts to manage the user and file system whilst
developing some expertise in managing a complex file system.
Part 1: Automated Account Management (4 marks)
You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts which manage user information.
You are to prepare a simple shell script which reads a text file called users.txt. The file is in the
form
dfs /home/dfs Daniel Saffioti
and creates these users on the system without any interactive input. To do this you will need to
use the adduser(1) and passwd(1) commands. You will need to randomly produce the password
and report this to the administrator.
You can assume the fields being username, home directory and GCOS string are separate by a

Chapter 8: Common Forensic Tools
Overview
In this chapter, you'll learn more about:
· Explore disk imaging tools, forensic software tool sets, and miscellaneous software tools
· Understand computer forensic hardware
· Assemble your forensic tool kit
The first steps in any investigation nearly always involve old-fashioned detective work. As a forensic investigator, you need to observe and record your observations first. Once you start examining media contents, you'll need some tools to help you find and make sense of stored data.
Forensic investigators and computer examiners need several different types of tools to identify and acquire computer evidence. Some evidence is hidden from the casual observer and requires specialized tools to find and access. In this chapter, we'll examine a sampling of some common and popular tools available to carry out computer forensic tasks.
Disk Imaging and Validation Tools
After identifying the physical media that they suspect contains evidence, forensic investigators must make sure media is preserved before any further steps are taken. Preserving the media is necessary to provide assurance the evidence acquired is valid.
Chapter 3, "Computer Evidence," and Chapter 4, "Common Tasks," both emphasize the importance of copying all media first and then analyzing the copy. It's usually best to create an exact image of the media and verify that it matches the original before continuing the investigation. It's rare to examine the original evidence for any investigation that might end up in court. For other types of investigations, however, forensic investigators might perform a targeted examination on the original evidence. For example, assume the job is to examine a user's home folder on a server for suspected inappropriate material. It might be impossible or extremely difficult to create a mirror image of the disk drive, but the disk can be scanned for existing or deleted files while it is in use. Although examining media while in use might not always be the best practice, informal investigations use this technique frequently.
To Copy or Not to Copy?
Whenever possible, create a duplicate of the original evidence, verify the copy, and then examine the copy. Always invest the time and effort to copy original media for any investigation that might end up in a court of law. If you are sure your investigation will not end up in court, you might decide to analyze the original evidence directly. This is possible and desirable in cases where copying media would cause service interruptions.
Your choice of tools to use depends on several factors, including:
· Operating system(s) supported
Operating system(s) in which the tool runs
File systems the tool supports
· Price
· Functionality
· Personal preference
The following sections list some tools used to create and verify media copies. Some products appear in two places in the chapter. That's because several products play multiple roles. This section lists several products ...

Examine Evidence PartitionsAnalysis of four small partitions ext.docxcravennichole326
Examine Evidence Partitions
Analysis of four small partitions extracted from a suspect's hard drive. Your analysis will assess the nature of each partition—specifically, whether each partition is encrypted, compressed, wiped, or none.
Demonstration and hands-on training are always most effective, so you turn to the former in Step 2. Digital forensic investigators need to understand how to examine evidence partitions. In a case that you are working on currently, the suspect's computer contains four disk partitions. A disk partition is a portion of a whole disk with its own file system. Access the virtual lab to examine evidence partitions in order to determine whether files on each partition are encrypted, defragmented, securely deleted, or none of these. If they have been encrypted, what process was used: NTFS encrypted file systems, BitLocker, PGP, etc.?
After conducting your analysis, you demonstrate how you would document your findings in a formal forensic report. Include descriptions of destruction strategies such as wiping, overwriting, corruption, and degaussing. Make sure these strategies are explained in terms that IT temps, recent hires, and other nonexperts can understand in a consistent way. This will be the first section of your investigative report.
Share this section of the report with a colleague (your instructor) for review and feedback before continuing to the next step, where you will search for hidden data in files. Make sure to incorporate any suggested changes. This will be the first section of the sample investigative report to be included in the job aid submitted in the final step.
Lab Work Instruction:
Examine Evidence Partitions
You are provided four NTFS partitions from a hard drive, each about 100MB in size. One of the partitions has been defragmented, one used file encryption, and one used secure file deletion; no action has been taken on the other. Your task is to determine which action (if any) has been applied to each partition.
You will examine each partition using FTK (Imager is sufficient) and the Windows operating system. Your guidance for determining which actions have been taken on a specific partition are as follows:
Normal (no action):
· files are scattered throughout the partition
· you will see deleted files with content
· you will see data in file slack space
Defragmentation:
· files are stored in contiguous locations
· file slack space is zeroed out
· measurable with native OS tools
Encryption:
· file contents are “jibberish” (very little readable plain text)
· FTK may show a "key" icon
· OS may indicate encryption (e.g., "lock" icon)
Secure Wipe:
· deleted files in unallocated space will not contain any readable content
· there will not be any data in file slack space
To examine each of the partitions, perform the following steps until you are confident about which action was applied to each partition. The partitions for this exercise are raw dumps and are named partition_blue.d.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

-What kind or type of culture shock they experienced when they first came to Kuwait?
And whether they tolerated? how do they feel where they tolerated by Kuwaitis ?
- why culture tolerance of a foreign country is required in international marketing.
Based on what you learn those people, you will learn about feelings and their problems and difficulties when they first arrived in foreign countries. And knowing this, now you have to take this knowledge and apply to marketing and answer the questions whether it's difficult to adopt to foreign culture if it's difficult for people it's probably will be very difficult to also introduce those products and adopt those products to foreign culture. So that's why am asking you why culture tolerance in other nations are important and required to International marketing. you have to answer those

·You have been engaged to prepare the 2015 federal income tax re.docxbudbarber38650
·
You have been engaged to prepare the 2015 federal income tax return for Bob and Melissa Grant.
·
Your tax form submission should include: Form 1040, Schedules A, B, D, E, and Forms 4684 and 8949 as applicable. You will come across many items on the tax return we have not talked about in class; if we have not covered it in class, and it is not included in the information below, you do
not
need to address it on this assignment.
·
Your solution should contain a detailed workpaper that calculates the tax due or refunded with the return and calculated in the form of the tax formula (see Ch. 4 lecture slides). The calculation should be well labeled and EASY to follow. This presentation will be factored into your grade. Do NOT include any references or citations on your workpaper.
·
You may complete the return by hand (
neatly
) or typed using 2015 forms found on Blackboard or the IRS website. You may complete the form using software, one version of which is available in the ACELAB.
o
Note – ACELAB software is for the 2014 tax year; if you choose to use this method, you do not need to override the automatically calculated 2014 information, but your workpaper must detail each line item that will differ between the 2014 form generated and the 2015 forms).
·
Use the following assumptions in preparing the return:
o
The general method of accounting used by the Grants is the cash method.
o
Use all opportunities under law to minimize the 2015 federal income tax.

New ways of thinking/information sharing
Seven key solution areas were identified:
·
In- store logistics: includes in-store visibility, shelf-ready products, shopper interaction
·
Collaborative physical logistics: shared transport, shared warehouse, shared infrastructure
·
Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers
·
Efficient assets: alternative forms of energy, efficient/aerodynamic vehicles, switching modes, green buildings
·
Joint scorecard and business plan: this solution consists of a suite of industry-relevant measurement tools falling into two broad categories: qualitative tools, which are a set of capability metrics designed to measure the extent to which the trading partners (supplier, service provider and retailer) are working collaboratively; and quantitative tools, which include business metrics aimed at measuring the impact of collaboration

may be a good example to look at: when you burn less, you pay less and emit less, and the benefits can ripple further. The big advantages for organisations in becoming sustainable are reducing costs and helping the environment. For example: Wal-Mart sells 25% of detergent sold in the United States, by replacing regular washing detergent with concentrate they will save: 400 million gallons of water, 125 million pounds of cardboard and packaging, 95 million pounds of plastic.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Engineering Computer Systems Management – 767425
Project #1
(Due date: Monday 19 August 2013)
The aim of this project is for you to discover how to use a
spreadsheet to “model” a typical engineering
problem, in this case a heat transfer situation. And to discover
how this model can be used to solve
problems that would otherwise require lengthy analytical or
trial and error solutions. The model can then
be used as a design/analysis tool to try out various “what if”
scenarios.
Hot oil is used as an alternative to steam for providing process
heat in some industries. In our scenario the
hot oil is being pumped to the process equipment through an
insulated pipe and we want to determine the
rate of heat loss per metre of pipe. The pipe is made from mild
steel and is insulated with fibreglass and
clad with stainless steel. Heat is being lost from the stainless
steel cladding surface by convection and by
11. radiation. The initial problem is to determine the heat loss ̇
and cladding surface temperature for
various thicknesses of the fibreglass insulation.
Heat Transfer Situation:
The following data is given:
hot oil temperature,
............................................................ 180°C
steel pipe internal diameter,
..................................................... 80 mm
steel pipe external diameter,
.................................................... 90 mm
pipe length,
................................................................................. nominal,
1 m
inside convection heat transfer coefficient,
............................... 50 W/m
2
°C
14. �̇�
�̇�
�̇� �
At first glance this looks to be a relatively simple problem,
however to solve it we need to find the surface
temperature, before we can find the heat loss, ̇ . To solve
for analytically would require the
solution of a polynomial (quartic) equation. With the
spreadsheet we can solve this fairly easily using a trial
and error approach or using one of the advanced tools available
in Excel to automate this process...
Specific requirements:
You are required to:
using Microsoft Excel, as detailed below.
omments and results
as also detailed below.
1. Spreadsheet Model
Set up your spreadsheet model of the heat transfer situation
with an area for input values (all of the
data given above), an area for intermediate answers (eg radii, ̇
, ̇ , ̇ ), and an area for the
final results, and ̇ . Your model should be set up to be as
15. flexible as possible to produce
answers for and ̇ for a given insulation thickness.
(Imagine other engineers might use your
spreadsheet as a tool for similar heat loss situations, so make it
clear, easy to use and helpful).
In your Report (Word document) :
functions or tools you used, and how
you used them to solve for s and ̇loss for a given insulation
thickness.
Provide a table summarising your results ( and ̇ ), for
the following insulation thicknesses:
25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm.
2. Further Analysis
Use your spreadsheet model to determine the thickness of
insulation required to give a cladding
surface temperature of say 50°C.
In your Report (Word document) :
3. “What if” analysis
Set the insulation thickness to 75mm and then use your model to
investigate the following “what if”
16. situations (ie what happens to surface temperature, and heat
loss, ̇ if the following changes
occurred).
4 or even 0.8
over a period of time as the stainless
steel became more oxidised?
that the thermal conductivity increased
to a value of say 0.06 or 0.1 W/m°C?
