Linux and Forensic Discovery
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.
...someone in the government seems to realize that Microsoft can't be trusted ;-)
Don't you wish your girlfriend was a geek like me?
Linux is used by humans outside of the Slashdot community! Stay Tuned!
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.

Zach,
We're going off flying tommorrow, hope to see you on the other side. Last one there gets the 70 ugliest virgins!

Trolling is a art,
but according to NIST, and my own experince, such is not the case. Not only is dd cheaper by thousands of dollars than the "professional" apps made to do such things, but it's often *more* effective, and almost always easier to use.
At its heart it's just a simple copy command.
In fact, the dd tool is so simple, and simple minded, that it would be easier to write a simple graphical front end for it than to learn the GUI of exiting Windows apps designed to do the same thing.
I don't know quite how to break this to you, but *sometimes* language is the simpler, more powerful and more *intuitive* means of getting something across than pointing at a picture and grunting.
Unless, of course, your intellect hasn't yet advanced to that level of sophistication.

Oops...If they were prime, they would be easy to factor. You need to factor the products of some very large primes.
(The last post wasn't a mistake--it was my intentional FUD to keep the terrorist from figuring out RSA. Shhhh!)
Well duh. That's their *job.*

Hee! Now you know why programmers hate to write documentation!
