Presentation Transcript
Outline of Module #11
- Overview of Windows file systems
- Overview of ProDiscover
- Overview of UNIX file systems (Kulesh)
- ProDiscover workshop (remaining time)
Module 11
Reminder
- InfraGard Chapter meeting on Counterintelligence
- Bear Stearns, 383 Madison Avenue
- 9-4, April 28
- RSVP: www.nym-infragard.us
Module 11
Hard Drive Data Hiding Places
- Low Level Format
- Redundant sectors
- Bad sectors
- Partition
- Interpartition gaps
- Unallocated space
- “Hidden” partitions
- Boot records and partition tables
- Deleted partitions
Module 11
Physical Disk Geometry (CHS)
- One head for each surface (H)
- All tracks at r = dn form “cylinder” (C)
- Each sector has 512 bytes of user data (S)
- One disk surface devoted to positioning and synchronization
- Not all parts of the disk are addressable by the OS
- Disk capacity = C x H x S x 512 bytes
Module 11
Lifecycle of Disk Drive
- Blank media
- Low level format
- Performed at the factory
- Partition
- High level file system format
- Operating system install
- System operations
Module 11
Low Level Format
- Low level formatting creates sectors
- Each sector holds 512 bytes + overhead bytes
- Overhead provides error correction and timing recovery
- Bad sectors remapped to redundant sectors by the HDD controller.

VOLUME BOOT RECORD
Module 11
Partitioning Drive
- Master Boot Record = Master Boot Code + Master Partition Table (MPT)
- Always at sector #1
- Volume Boot Record = Volume Boot Code + Disk Parameter Block
- Each partition
Module 11
FAT File System
- Four parts
- Volume boot record
- File allocation tables
- Root directory
- User data area
- Types
- FAT 12, 16, 32 bits; cluster address size
- FAT1 and FAT2; first and second copy of FAT
- Floppy: FAT12

Module 11
WinHex: Forensic Hex Editor
- www.x-ways.net
- Disk cloning
- DOS version
- Windows version (use write blocker)
- Disk editor
- API for scripting tasks
Module 11
Navigating to FAT12 Directory
- Start at boot sector #1
- Add 2 x 9 sectors
- Directory at sector #20
- Offset is: 19 x 512 = 9728 bytes = 2600H
Module 11
Navigating to FAT32 Allocation Table
- Start at boot sector
- Go to sector #33, offset of 32 x 512 bytes
- 32 x 512 = 16384 = 4000H
Module 11
WinHex NTFS Partition Analysis
Module 11
ProDiscover Forensic Software
- www.techpathways.com
- Disk imaging: meets NIST Specification 3.1.6
- Works with FAT, NTFS, Sun Solaris UFS
- Displays Windows ADS!
- File signature analysis
- Search capability
- Recover deleted files and slack space
- Reasonable price!
