  1. Remote Forensic Tools --- PDIR and EEE • Tool review - remote forensic preservation and examination tools • Editor : Eoghan Casey , Aaron Stanley • Source : Digital Investigation (2004) Volume 1, 284 - 297 • Professor : Shieh-Jeng, Wang

  2. Remote Forensic Tools --- PDIR and EEE • PDIR ( ProDiscover IR 3.5 ) • EEE ( EnCase Enterprise Edition 4.19a ) • The main propose is to integrate incident response and computer forensics.

  3. What is remote forensics

  4. Operation Model • Servlet : --- A piece of software loaded into the memory of the subject computer. --- This program starts a process listens for outside connections.

  5. Installation methods for Stand-alone computer • Login script • System patch • The third-party tools : psexec Dameware Secure Shell (SHH)

  6. Relationships

  7. Communication security • Thawte in PDIR. • SAFE ( Secure Authentication for EnCase ) in EEE.

  8. Considerations for the network-based computer • Router Access Control Lists • Internal firewall • Personal firewall • They are barriers that prevent examiners from connecting to the servlet. • EEE servlet must run on the 4445 port. • PDIR servlet can use any port.

  9. Functionalities (A) • Memory inspection --- Snapshot module • Storage media examination : --- Physical disks --- Logical volumes --- RAM disks (the PGP disk) --- only EEE • Mounted network drives are not detected by either tool.

  10. Functionalities (B) • Keyword research • MD5 hash comparison • EEE can combine file listings multiple system. ( PDIR connect to one remote host at a time ) • Both PDIR and EEE can acquire the entire contents of a hard drive or partition of a remote host.

  11. Security • PDIR uses Global Unique Identifiers to restrict a servlet to one client and to prevent tampering with the network communication. • EEE uses a dedicated system called the SAFE to manage security. • The SAFE protocol uses a combination of public, private, and session keys to ensure that all connections to the remote servlets are authorized and encrypted.

  12. Performance • In pre-viewing mode, PDIR uses an average of 340 kb/s of network bandwidth, whereas the EEE uses 50kb/s. • In acquisition mode, PDIR uses an average of 5.5MB/s of network bandwidth, whereas the EEE uses 3.5MB/s.

  13. Conclusion • PDIR is design for examining a small number of system. • EEE is designed to integrate with enterprise security architecture an examine a large number of systems simultaneously.
