Disk imaging workflow

Take a photo of the media

  • Use gvucview

  • Images placed in  /home/bcadmin

Use Read-only mounting and Writeblocker when possible

Use Guymanger to image

You can do multiple disks at once

  • DVD drives are named TEAC DV_W28S-B

  • Use Linux raw dd image

  • Split image files over 2046 MiB

  • Use a consistent or descriptive filename

  • Only md5 checksums are necessary

  • Verifying the image is a good idea

Guymanger docs

Try to mount the disk

Eject the disk first to avoid confusion and mounting the actual disk!

  • The image should have a .dd or .000 extention

  • Right click and select "Disk Image Mount" under "Scripts"

  • Use the folder/explorer to see what mount you are viewing

If the image doesn't mount, use disktype to detect image format

  1. Open a Terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)

  2. Navigate to a disk image with:

    • cd to change directory: cd Desktop/myfolder

    • ls to list files and directories: ls

  3. Run disktype

    • disktype myimage.dd 

  4. View output:

The filesystem type for this image is FAT16

Then run Brunnhilde GUI

In Applications/Forensics and Reports

If there are PII concerns run BulkReviewer

Documentation

If there are virus concerns, run Clamtk



Ingest the Image or the files

  • Make a folder in Library/SPE_Processing/ingest with the collection ID

  • Ingest with the Processing app using the collection ID
