Hints for Flash Drive Repair CSAW Forensics Challenge Organizers
The USB flash drive around which the CSAW 2008 Forensics Challenge is centered has been mechanically damaged. It is was found by investigators near the scene of the murder Cori Plumb. It appears that somebody deliber- ately crushed the USB flash drive to make it unreadable. The USB connector is probably damaged beyond repair. The rest of the USB flash drive seems fine. Before the contents of the flash drive can be examined, a new connec- tor is needed. The damaged connector can be removed and replaced with an undamaged connector. To do this, soldering is probably necessary. It is important to avoid causing damage to the actual flash drive, since that will make your forensic job much harder, and the the murder case might never be solved. http://isis.poly.edu/~egavas/csaw_usb_flash_drive.pdf _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
