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.

  1. Oh Please! by Snowbeam · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How is this news? They are using "dd" a Linux utility. Seeing "Linux" in an article does not warrant a story about it. This demeans Linux by using every little scrap of news to attempt to show that it is in use. Instead we should be demostrating it's uses, rather that reporting that it is in use.
