But you can bet your last penny that at some stage you will have to image them. That is the problem I faced one wet weekend recently when I was required to image an HP behemoth resplendent with two sizable raid 5 arrays and two USB 1 ports. All drive bays and ports were in use so I could not insert a new drive into the box to image it and I didn’t fancy imaging all the elderly SCSI raided hard drives separately. I was permitted to shut down the server and had decided to boot the box to a forensic linux distro that had suitable HP Raid Controller drivers.
The problem I faced was USB1. Obviously I needed to output my images somewhere and an external USB hard drive was an option. But the maths didn’t add up – the maximum bandwidth of a USB1 port is 12 megabits per second (Mbps) which equates to 1.5 megabytes per second (MB/s) which equates to 5.4 Gigabytes per hour. There were not going to be enough hours in this weekend to image both arrays on the server.
What I did next I thought might be worth sharing with you. I used dd to create a source image, netcat to pipe it to an onsite laptop across a network and ewfacquirestream to capture the dd image, hash it and write it into Encase evidence files. It can be carried out entirely at the command line. Crucially I achieved an imaging speed of about 25 MB/s which is 1.46 gigabytes a minute or nearly 88 gigabytes an hour using gigabit network interface cards. In testing I have achieved 39 gigabytes an hour using 10/100 NICS.
Method to image computers across a network
- I connected my onsite laptop and the server via Cat5E cables to a Netgear GS105 5 port gigabit switch. I attached a 2TB external hard drive to my onsite laptop and booted both the server and my laptop to a DEFT 7 forensic linux distro.
- To configure Ethernet settings on both using Gigabit NICs (10/100/1000) if available
- Launch terminal and at prompt type sudo su
- At prompt type ifconfig to identify network cards
- At prompt type ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 on onsite laptop and ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.101 on machine to be imaged (these commands assume that you are pugged into eth0 – if there is more than one NIC on the computer to be imaged it might be eth1 or higher)
- Test connection by typing at prompt ping –c 5 192.168.0.100 or ping –c 5 192.168.0.101 as appropriate
- On on-site laptop
- Connect collection hard disk drive
- Launch terminal and at prompt type sudo su
- At prompt type fdisk –l to identify storage drive
- Create a folder to mount the storage drive to by typing mkdir /mnt/(name of your folder)
- Next mount the storage drive to your folder by typing mount /dev/(sdb2 or whatever) /mnt/(name of your folder)
- Now we create a netcat listener and a pipe to ewfacquirestream – at prompt type but donʼt press enter just yet nc –l 1234 | ewfacquirestream –c none –b 4096 –C case_number –D description –w –E evidence_number –e ʻRichard Drinkwaterʼ –t /mnt/(name of your folder)/(name of your evidence files)
[relevant switches –c compression type: none, fast or best; -b amount of sectors to read at once: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384 or 32768; words in italics change to suit and use single quote marks (ʻ-- --ʼ) to group more than one word]
- On machine to be imaged
- At prompt type sudo su
- At prompt type fdisk –l to identify drive to be imaged
- Next we prepare to dd drive to be imaged and pipe to netcat – at prompt type dd if=/dev/sdb conv=noerror,sync bs=4096 | nc 192.168.0.100 1234 but donʼt press enter (if you are imaging a server with an HP Raid card the command might look something like dd if=/dev/cciss/c0d0 bs=4096 conv=noerror,sync | nc 192.168.0.100 1234)
- Start imaging process by
- Press enter within terminal on onsite laptop first to start netcat listener
- Then press enter within terminal on machine to be imaged to start dd
- When the acquisition completes ewfacquirestream outputs a MD5 hash calculated over data value to the terminal. Either photograph this value or copy and paste it to a text file on your collection hard disk drive.
Notes re imaging speed
In testing where the NICs are both gigabit speeds of over 40 Mb/s (144 GB/h) can be achieved. With 10/100 NICs up to 11 Mb/s (39.6 GB/h) can be expected. Compression and block size does affect imaging speed and if you have time it may be worth fine-tuning these settings. The settings shown in this post are probably a good starting point. To fine-tune, run the imaging process with the settings in this post. After 5 minutes or so if you are getting poor speeds stop the process and try adjusting the compression size on the onsite laptop (i.e. change from none to fast). Sometimes either doubling or halving the block size on both source and receiver machines can make a difference also.

The Telegraph reports that: A significant amount of child pornography is being uploaded onto Facebook every single day, according to a new report.
The world’s largest social network, despite deploying several techniques to censor this type of content is playing host to many inappropriate images and groups.
A report by US news website WND has collated a series of graphic images of children in sexual poses and positions, which have all been posted onto Facebook for all to see.
One user page, ‘Kidsex Young’ sees users exchanging videos and photos of child pornography, WND’s correspondent Chelsea Schilling reports.
Other images, too indecent to publish include photographs of children being raped by adults and forced to expose their genitals to the camera.
A Facebook spokesman said: Unfortunately, these disgusting individuals exist in our society and, on rare occasions, on Facebook. However, no service has done more to seek them out, remove their content, and help bring them to justice than Facebook.
“We have a zero tolerance policy for child exploitation materials on the site and take industry-leading measures to try to accomplish that goal including building a dedicated team of professional investigators, integrating Photo DNA, a technology that scans all images on Facebook and flags know child exploitative material, developing a collaborative partnership with NCMEC and law enforcement specializing in child protection, and building many cases that have been escalated to law enforcement.”
The average amount of time indecent content stays on Facebook is three days.
In March earlier this year, The Telegraph revealed that Facebook’s outsourced moderation process shares more personal information with third party moderators than it has so far acknowledged.
The social network was criticized earlier this year after gossip site Gawker exposed it as employing third-party content moderators in the developing world for one dollar an hour.
Facebook responded saying: “No user information beyond the content in question and the source of the report is shared.”
However, new evidence seen by The Telegraph in March, showed that these moderators, who have to deal with the distressing images and messages which are reported every day, and are clearly able to see the names of the person who uploaded the ‘offensive’ content, the subject of the image or person tagged in a photo – in addition to the person who has reported the content.
Moreover, there are no security measures in place stopping these moderators taking screen shots of people’s personal photos, videos and posts.
When challenged about the data displayed on the screenshots shown to The Telegraph by an ex-Facebook moderator, a spokesman for the social network said at the time: “On Facebook, the picture alone is not the content. In evaluating potential violations of our rules it is necessary to consider who was tagged and by whom, and well as additional content such as comments. Everything displayed is to give content reviewers the necessary information to make the right, accurate decision.”
