Hands-On Project 3-2 In this project, you use the Linux dd command to make an acquisition split into 30 MB segmented volumes. Then you validate the data by using the Linux md5sum command on the original drive and the image files. The output for md5sum is then redirected to a data file kept with the image files. For this project, you need the following: • . A Linux distribution or Linux Live CD . The FAT32 drive partitioned and formatted in Hands-On Project 3-1 A method of connecting the FAT32 drive and the drive created in Hands-On Project 3-1 to your workstation, such as USB, FireWire, external SATA, or internal connections, such as PATA or SATA A review of the "Acquiring Data with ad in Linux" and "Validating dd-Acquired Data" sections Follow these steps: 1. Make sure you've connected the drive you prepared in Hands-On Project 3-1 to your Linux workstation. 2. Start your workstation, if necessary, and log on to Linux or boot the Linux Live CD. 3. Reboot the Linux system, and make the dd acquisition, following the steps in "Acquiring Data with dd in Linux." For the split -b command, make the segmented size 30m, and use the -d switch to create numeric extensions for each segmented file. 4. When the acquisition is finished, do a validation of the suspect drive and the acquired image files. Follow the steps in the "Validating dd-Acquired Data" section. When you're finished, keep the terminal window open, and keep Linux running for the next project.
