Linux and Forensic Discovery

Posted by michael on from the dd-a-double-edged-sword dept.

Max Pyziur writes "Found this on cryptome.org where Linux is cited in a DOJ document against Moussaoui (sometimes referred to as the "20th man"). FBI: Moussaoui E-mail Not Recoverable - January 1, 2003." An interesting read which gives some insight into how computer evidence is handled in court.

    Well Lord Snowbeam, although I do agree with you that slashdot's article news-worthy discriminator is outta whack most the time, this at least beats 90% of the 'ask slashdot' articles. They are using "dd" a Linux utility. As someone else mentioned "dd" isn't Linux specific, but if you're going to call it a "Linux utility" you should probably at least call it a GNU/Linux utility... unless you don't want to, then what do I care
