Part 4 Imaging tools Imaging tools are software applications used in digital forensics to create exact copies or images of digital media, such as hard drives, memory cards, and other storage devices. These tools create a bit-by-bit copy of the original media, which is then used for analysis and investigation. 1.1 Here are some commonly used imaging tools in digital forensics: 1. dd: dd is a command-line tool used in Linux and other Unix-based operating systems to create images of digital media. It is a simple and powerful tool that can create exact copies of disks, partitions, and files. Eg. Scenario: we need to clone usb drive · make sure USB is present with USB 3 · open terminal : $ sudo fdisk -l · create image using dd command : sudo dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/sansforensics/Desktop/cases/usb_image.img bs=4M FTK Imager: FTK Imager is a popular imaging tool used in digital forensics. It supports a wide range of file formats and allows investigators to create images of disks, partitions,...
