43. Briefly describe the main characteristics of private-sector investigations.

ANSWER: Private-sector investigations focus more on policy violations, such as not adhering to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulations. However, criminal acts, such as corporate espionage, can also occur. So although private-sector investigations often start as civil cases, they can develop into criminal cases; likewise, a criminal case can have implications leading to a civil case. If you follow good forensics procedures, the evidence found in your examinations can make the transition between civil and criminal cases.

47. What is the role of an authorized requester?

ANSWER: Businesses are advised to specify an authorized requester who has the power to initiate investigations. Executive management should define a policy to avoid conflicts from competing interests in organizations. In large organizations, competition for funding or management support can become so fierce that people might create false allegations of misconduct to prevent competing departments from delivering a proposal for the same source of funds. To avoid inappropriate investigations, executive management must also define and limit who’s authorized to request a computer investigation and forensics analysis. Generally, the fewer groups with authority to request a computer investigation, the better.

48. Briefly describe hostile work environment.

ANSWER: Most digital investigations in the private sector involve misuse of digital assets. Typically, this misuse is referred to as “company rules violation.” Digital abuse complaints often center on e-mail and Internet misuse by employees but could involve other digital resources, such as using company software to produce a product for personal profit. The scope of an e-mail investigation ranges from excessive use of a company’s e-mail system for personal use to making threats or harassing others via e-mail. Some common e-mail abuses involve transmitting offensive messages. These types of messages can create a hostile work environment that can result in an employee’s civil lawsuit against a company that does nothing to prevent or respond to it (in other words, implicitly condones the e-mail abuse).

ANSWER: In the private-sector environment, confidentiality is critical, especially when dealing with employees who have been terminated. The agreement between the company and the employee might have been to represent the termination as a layoff or resignation in exchange for no bad references. If you give case details and the employee’s name to others, your company could be liable for breach of contract.

41. What are the duties of a lab manager?

ANSWER: The lab manager sets up the processes for managing cases and reviews them regularly. Besides performing general management tasks, such as promoting group consensus in decision making, maintaining fiscal responsibility for lab needs, and enforcing ethical standards among staff members, the lab manager plans updates for the lab, such as new hardware and software purchases.

The lab manager also establishes and promotes quality assurance processes for the lab’s staff to follow, such as outlining what to do when a case arrives, logging evidence, specifying who can enter the lab, and establishing guidelines for filing reports. To ensure the lab’s efficiency, the lab manager also sets reasonable production schedules for processing work.

42. Provide a brief explanation of how to plan a lab budget.

ANSWER: Lab costs can be broken down into monthly, quarterly, and annual expenses. The better you understand these expenses, the better you can delegate resources for each investigation. Using a spreadsheet program helps you keep track of past investigation expenses so that you can extrapolate expected future costs. Remember that expenses include purchasing computer hardware and software, renting facility space, and trained personnel. When creating a budget, start by estimating the number of cases your lab expects to examine and identifying the types of computers you’re likely to examine, such as Windows PCs, Apple systems, or Linux workstations.

ANSWER: Maintain two separate trash containers, one to store items unrelated to an investigation, such as discarded CDs, and the other for sensitive material that requires special handling to make sure it’s destroyed. Using separate trash containers maintains the integrity of criminal investigation processes and protects trade secrets and attorney-client privileged communications in a private company. Several commercially bonded firms specialize in disposing of sensitive materials, and you should hire one to help maintain the integrity of your investigations.

41. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using raw data acquisition format?

ANSWER: The advantages of the raw format are fast data transfers and the capability to ignore minor data read errors on the source drive. In addition, most forensics tools can read the raw format, making it a universal acquisition format for most tools. One disadvantage of the raw format is that it requires as much storage space as the original disk or data set. Another disadvantage is that some raw format tools, typically freeware versions, might not collect marginal (bad) sectors on the source drive, meaning they have a low threshold of retry reads on weak media spots on a drive. Many commercial tools have a much higher threshold of retry reads to ensure that all data is collected.

42. What are some of the features offered by proprietary data acquisition formats?

ANSWER: Most commercial computer forensics tools have their own formats for collecting digital evidence. Proprietary formats typically offer several features that complement the vendor’s analysis tool, such as the following:

* The option to compress or not compress image files of a suspect drive, thus saving space on the target drive

* The capability to split an image into smaller segmented files for archiving purposes, such as to CDs or DVDs, with data integrity checks integrated into each segment

* The capability to integrate metadata into the image file, such as date and time of the acquisition, hash value (for self-authentication) of the original disk or medium, investigator or examiner name, and comments or case details.

44. Explain the sparse data copy method for acquiring digital evidence.

ANSWER: Collecting evidence from a large drive can take several hours. If your time is limited, consider using a logical acquisition or sparse acquisition data copy method. A logical acquisition captures only specific files of interest to the case or specific types of files. A sparse acquisition is similar but also collects fragments of unallocated (deleted) data; use this method only when you don’t need to examine the entire drive. An example of a logical acquisition is an e-mail investigation that requires collecting only Outlook .pst or .ost files. Another example is collecting only specific records from a large RAID server. If you have to recover data from a RAID or storage area network (SAN) server with several exabytes (EB) or more of data storage, the logical method might be the only way you can acquire the evidence.

46. Explain the use of hash algorithms to verify the integrity of lossless compressed data.

ANSWER: An easy way to test lossless compression is to perform an MD5 or SHA-1 hash on a file before and after it’s compressed. If the compression is done correctly, both versions have the same hash value. If the hashes don’t match, that means something corrupted the compressed file, such as a hardware or software error. As an added precaution, perform two separate hashes with different algorithms, such as MD5 and SHA-1. This step isn’t mandatory; however, it’s a good way to establish that nothing has changed during data processing.

47. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Windows acquisition tools?

ANSWER: Many forensics software vendors have developed acquisition tools that run in Windows. These tools make acquiring evidence from a suspect drive more convenient, especially when you use them with hot-swappable devices, such as USB-3, FireWire 1394A and 1394B, or SATA, to connect disks to your workstation.

Using acquisition tools with current OSs, such as Windows and Linux, has some drawbacks, however. Because Windows and Linux can easily contaminate an evidence drive when it’s mounted, you must protect it with a well-tested write-blocking hardware device. The automatic mounting process updates boot files by changing metadata, such as the most recent access time. In addition, some countries haven’t yet accepted the use of write-blocking devices for data acquisitions. Check with your legal counsel for evidence standards in your community or country.

Name: Class: Date:

Chapter 03: Data Acquisition

ANSWER: A few Linux ISO images are designed specifically for digital forensics, however. These images contain additional utilities that aren’t typically installed in normal Linux distributions. They’re also configured not to mount, or to mount as read-only, any connected storage media, such as USB drives. This feature protects the media’s integrity for the purpose of acquiring and analyzing data. To access media, you have to give specific instructions to the Live CD boot session through a GUI utility or a shell command prompt. Mounting drives from a shell gives you more control over them. See the man page for the mount command (by typing man mount at the shell prompt) to learn what options are available for your Linux distribution.

Subjective Short Answer

41. Why should companies publish a policy stating their right to inspect computing assets at will?

ANSWER: If a company doesn’t display a warning banner or publish a policy stating that it reserves the right to inspect computing assets at will, employees have an expectation of privacy. When an employee is being investigated, this expected privacy prevents the employer from legally conducting an intrusive investigation. A well-defined company policy, therefore, should state that an employer has the right to examine, inspect, or access any company-owned computing assets. If a company issues a policy statement to all employees, the employer can investigate digital assets at will without any privacy right restrictions; this practice might violate the privacy laws of countries in the EU, for example. As a standard practice, companies should use both warning banners and policy statements. For example, if an incident is escalated to a criminal complaint, prosecutors prefer showing juries warning banners instead of policy manuals.

42. Illustrate with an example the problems caused by commingled data.

ANSWER: Suppose that during an examination, you find adult and child pornography. Further examination of the subject’s hard disk reveals that the employee has been collecting child pornography in separate folders on his workstation’s hard drive. In the United States, possessing child pornography is a crime under federal and state criminal statutes. These situations aren’t uncommon and make life difficult for investigators who don’t want to be guilty of possession of this contraband on their forensic workstations.

You survey the remaining content of the subject’s drive and find that he’s a lead engineer for the team developing your company’s latest high-tech bicycle. He has placed the child pornography images in a subfolder where the bicycle plans are stored. By doing so, he has commingled contraband with company’s confidential design plans for the bicycle. Your discovery poses two problems in dealing with this contraband evidence. First, you must report the crime to the police; all U.S. states and most countries have legal and moral codes when evidence of sexual exploitation of children is found. Second, you must also protect sensitive company information. Letting the high-tech bicycle information become part of the criminal evidence might make it public record, and the design work will then be available to competitors. Your first step is to ask your organization’s attorney how to deal with the commingled contraband data and sensitive design plans.

43. Briefly describe the process of obtaining a search warrant.

ANSWER: With probable cause, a police officer can obtain a search warrant from a judge that authorizes a search and seizure of specific evidence related to the criminal complaint.

The Fourth Amendment states that only warrants “particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized” can be issued.

44. What is the plain view doctrine?

ANSWER: When approaching or investigating a crime scene, you might find evidence related to the

Name: Class: Date:

Chapter 04: Processing Crime and Incident Scenes

crime but not in the location the warrant specifies. You might also find evidence of another unrelated crime. In these situations, this evidence is subject to the plain view doctrine. The plain view doctrine states that objects falling in the direct sight of an officer who has the right to be in a location are subject to seizure without a warrant and can be introduced into evidence. For the plain view doctrine to apply, three criteria must be met:

• The officer is where he or she has a legal right to be.

• Ordinary senses must not be enhanced by advanced technology in any way, such as with binoculars.

• Any discovery must be by chance.

45. How can you determine who is in charge of an investigation?

ANSWER: Private-sector investigations usually require only one person to respond to an incident or crime scene. Processing evidence usually involves acquiring an image of a suspect’s drive. In law enforcement, however, many investigations need additional staff to collect all evidence quickly. For large-scale investigations, a crime or incident scene leader should be designated. Anyone assigned to a large-scale investigation scene should cooperate with the designated leader to ensure that the team addresses all details when collecting evidence.

46. Describe the process of preparing an investigation team.

ANSWER: Before you initiate the search and seizure of digital evidence at incident or crime scenes, you must review all the available facts, plans, and objectives with the investigation team you have assembled. The goal of scene processing is to collect and secure digital evidence successfully. The better prepared you are, the fewer problems you encounter when you carry out the plan to collect data.

Keep in mind that digital evidence is volatile. Develop the skills to assess the facts quickly, make your plan, gather the needed resources, and collect data from the incident or crime scene. In some digital investigations, responding slowly might result in the loss of important evidence for the case.

47. How can you secure a computer incident or crime scene?

ANSWER: Investigators secure an incident or crime scene to preserve the evidence and to keep information about the incident or crime confidential. Information made public could jeopardize the investigation. If you’re in charge of securing a digital incident or crime scene, use barrier tape to prevent bystanders from entering the scene accidentally, and ask police officers or security guards to prevent others from entering the scene or taking photos and videos with smartphones and other digital devices. Legal authority for an incident scene includes trespassing violations; for a crime scene, it includes obstructing justice or failing to comply with a police officer. Access to the scene should be restricted to only those people who have a specific reason to be there. The reason for the standard practice of securing an incident or crime scene is to expand the area of control beyond the scene’s immediate location. In this way, you avoid overlooking an area that might be part of the scene. Shrinking the scene’s perimeter is easier than expanding it.

48. Give some guidelines on how to video record a computer incident or crime scene.

ANSWER: Take video and still recordings of the area around the computer or digital device. Start by recording the overall scene, and then record details with close-up shots, including the back of all computers. Before recording the back of each computer, place numbered or lettered labels on each cable to help identify which cable is connected to which plug, in case you need to reassemble components at the lab. Make sure you take close-ups of all cable connections, including keyloggers (devices used to log keystrokes) and dongle devices used with software as part of the licensing agreement. Record the area around the computer, including the floor and ceiling, and all access points to the computer, such as doors and windows. Be sure to look under any tables or desks for anything taped to the underside of a table or desk drawer or on the floor out of view. If the area has ceiling panels false ceiling tiles remove them and record that area, too. Slowly pan or zoom the camera to prevent blurring in the video image, and maintain a camera log for all shots you take.

Don’t examine folders or network connections or press any keys unless it’s necessary. For systems that are powered on and running, photograph the screens. If windows are open but minimized, expanding them so that you can photograph them is safe. As a precaution, write down the contents of each window.

41. How can you make sure a subject’s computer boots to a forensic floppy disk or CD?

ANSWER: When a subject’s computer starts, you must make sure it boots to a forensically configured CD, DVD, or USB drive, because booting to the hard disk overwrites and changes evidentiary data. To do this, you access the CMOS setup by monitoring the computer during the bootstrap process to identify the correct key or keys to use. The bootstrap process, which is contained in ROM, tells the computer how to proceed. As the computer starts, the screen usually displays the key or keys, such as the Delete key, you press to open the CMOS setup screen. You can also try unhooking the keyboard to force the system to tell you what keys to use. The key you press to access CMOS depends on the computer’s BIOS.

If necessary, you can change the boot sequence so that the OS accesses the CD/DVD drive, for example, before any other boot device. Each BIOS vendor’s screen is different, but you can refer to the vendor’s documentation or Web site for instructions on changing the boot sequence.

43. How are disk clusters numbered by Microsoft file structures?

ANSWER: Clusters are numbered sequentially starting at 0 in NTFS and 2 in FAT. The first sector of all disks contains a system area, the boot record, and a file structure database. The OS assigns these cluster numbers, which are referred to as logical addresses. They point to relative cluster positions; for example, cluster address 100 is 98 clusters from cluster address 2. Sector numbers, however, are referred to as physical addresses because they reside at the hardware or firmware level and go from address 0 (the first sector on the disk) to the last sector on the disk. Clusters and their addresses are specific to a logical disk drive, which is a disk partition.

44. Summarize the evolution of FAT versions.

ANSWER: The following list summarizes the evolution of FAT versions:

* FAT12 This version is used specifically for floppy disks, so it has a limited amount of storage space. It was originally designed for MS-DOS 1.0, the first Microsoft OS, used for floppy disk drives and drives up to 16 MB.

* FAT16 To handle large disks, Microsoft developed FAT16, which is still used on older Microsoft OSs, such as MS-DOS 3.0 through 6.22, Windows 95 (first release), and Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0. FAT16 supports disk partitions with a maximum storage capacity of 4 GB.

* FAT32 When disk technology improved and disks larger than 2 GB were created, Microsoft released FAT32, which can access larger drives.

* exFAT Developed for mobile personal storage devices, such as flash memory devices, secure digital eXtended capacity (SDCX), and memory sticks. The exFAT file system can store very large files, such as digital images, video, and audio files.

* VFAT Developed to handle files with more than eight-character filenames and threecharacter extensions; introduced with Windows 95. VFAT is an extension of other FAT file systems.

45. Briefly describe how to delete FAT files.

ANSWER: When a file is deleted in Windows Explorer or with the MS-DOS delete command, the OS inserts a HEX E5 (0xE5) in the filename’s first letter position in the associated directory entry. This value tells the OS that the file is no longer available and a new file can be written to the same cluster location.

In the FAT file system, when a file is deleted, the only modifications made are that the directory entry is marked as a deleted file, with the HEX E5 character replacing the first letter of the filename, and the FAT chain for that file is set to 0. The data in the file remains on the disk drive. The area of the disk where the deleted file resides becomes unallocated disk space (also called “free disk space”). The unallocated disk space is now available to receive new data from newly created files or other files needing more space as they grow. Most forensics tools can recover data still residing in this area.

46. What are logical cluster numbers (LCNs)?

ANSWER: To understand how data runs are assigned for nonresident MFT records, you should know that when a disk is created as an NTFS file structure, the OS assigns logical clusters to the entire disk partition. These assigned clusters, called logical cluster numbers (LCNs), are sequentially numbered from the beginning of the disk partition, starting with the value 0. LCNs become the addresses that allow the MFT to link to nonresident files (files outside the MFT) on the disk’s partition.

47. Briefly explain NTFS compressed files.

ANSWER: To improve data storage on disk drives, NTFS provides compression similar to FAT

Name: Class: Date:

Chapter 05: Working with Windows and CLI Systems

DriveSpace 3, a Windows 98 compression utility. With NTFS, you can compress files, folders, or entire volumes. With FAT16, you can compress only a volume. On a Windows NT or later system, compressed data is displayed normally when you view it in Windows Explorer or applications such as Microsoft Word.

During an investigation, typically you work from an image of a compressed disk, folder, or file. Most forensics tools can uncompress and analyze compressed Windows data, including data compressed with the Lempel-Ziv-Huffman (LZH) algorithm and in formats such as PKZip, WinZip, and GNU gzip. However, forensics tools might have difficulty with thirdparty compression utilities, such as the .rar format. If you identify third-party compressed data, you need to uncompress it with the utility that created it.

42. Explain the validation of evidence data process.

ANSWER: Validation and verification functions work hand in hand. Validation is a way to confirm that a tool is functioning as intended, and verification proves that two sets of data are identical by calculating hash values or using another similar method. How data hashing is used depends on the investigation, but using a hashing algorithm on the entire suspect drive and all its files is a standard practice. This method produces a unique hexadecimal value for ensuring that the original data hasn’t changed and copies are of the same unchanged data or image. SOURCE:

ANSWER: You should plan your hardware needs carefully, especially if you have budget limitations. Include in your planning the amount of time you expect the forensic workstation to be running, how often you expect hardware failures, consultant and vendor fees to support the hardware, and how often to anticipate replacing forensic workstations. The longer you expect the forensic workstation to be running, the more you need to anticipate physical equipment failure and the expense of replacement equipment.

ANSWER: To decide whether you want to build your own workstation, first ask “How much do I have to spend?” Building a forensic workstation isn’t as difficult as it sounds but can quickly become expensive if you aren’t careful. If you have the time and skill to build your own forensic workstation, you can customize it to your needs and save money, although you might have trouble finding support for problems that develop. For example, peripheral devices might conflict with one another, or components might fail. If you build your own forensic workstation, you should be able to support the hardware. You also need to identify what you intend to analyze. If you’re analyzing SPARC disks from workstations in a company network, for example, you need to include a SPARC drive with a write-protector on your forensic workstation.

ANSWER: In the Windows environment, when a write-blocker is installed on an attached disk drive, the drive appears as any other attached disk. You can navigate to the blocked drive with any Windows application, such as File Explorer, to view files or use Word to read files. When you copy data to the blocked drive or write updates to a file with Word, Windows shows that the data copy is successful However, the write-blocker actually discards the written data in other words, data is written to null. When you restart the workstation and examine the blocked disk, you won’t see the data or files you copied to it previously.

41. Explain the relation between allocation blocks and logical block on a Mac OS file system.

ANSWER: Volumes have allocation blocks and logical blocks. A logical block is a collection of data that cannot exceed 512 bytes. When you save a file, it is assigned to an allocation block, which is a group of consecutive logical blocks. As volumes increase in size, one allocation block might be composed of three or more logical blocks. If a file contains information, it always occupies one allocation block. For example, if a data fork contains only 11 bytes of data, it occupies one allocation block (512 bytes) on a disk, which leaves more than 500 bytes empty in the data fork.

42. Explain the use of B*-trees on early Mac OS file systems.

ANSWER: In early Mac versions, the B*-tree file system is also used to organize the directory hierarchy and file block mapping. In this file system, files are nodes (records or objects) containing file data.Each node is 512 bytes. The nodes containing actual file data are called leaf nodes; they are the bottom level of a B*-tree file. The B*-tree also has the following nodes that handle file information:

* The header node stores information about the B*-tree file.

* The index node stores link information to previous and next nodes.

* The map node stores a node descriptor and map record.

44. What are the functions of the superblock on a UNIX or Linux file system?

ANSWER: The superblock contains vital information about the system and is considered part of the metadata. It specifies the disk geometry and available space and keeps track of all inodes. The superblock also manages the file system, including configuration information, such as block size for the drive, file system names, blocks reserved for inodes, and volume name. Multiple copies of the superblock ae kept in different locations on the disk to prevent losing such important information.

45. What is a bad block inode on Linux?

ANSWER: All disks have more storage capacity than the manufacturer states. For example, a 240 GB disk might actually have 240.5 GB free space because disks always have bad sectors. Windows doesn’t keep track of bad sectors, but Linux does in an inode called the bad block inode. The root inode is inode 2, and the bad block inode is inode 1. Some forensic tools ignore inode 1 and fail to recover valuable data for cases. Someone trying to mislead an investigator can access the bad block inode, list good sectors in it, and then hide information in these supposedly “bad” sectors.

46. What is a data block in Linux file systems?

ANSWER: The data block is where directories and files are stored on a disk drive. This location is linked directly to inodes. As in Microsoft file systems, the Linux file system on a PC has 512-byte sectors. A data block is equivalent to a cluster of disk sectors on a FAT or NTFS volume. Blocks range from 1024 to 4096 bytes each on a Linux volume.

47. Briefly describe acquisition methods in macOS.

ANSWER: To examine a computer running macOS, you need to make an image of the drive, using the same techniques described in Chapter 5. You should be aware of some exceptions, however, caused by Apple design and engineering. (In addition, removing the drive from a Mac Mini case is difficult, and attempting to do so without Apple factory training could damage the computer. A MacBook Air poses similar problems, as you need special Apple screwdrivers to open the case.) You need a macOS-compatible forensic boot CD/DVD to make an image, which then must be written to an external drive, such as a FireWire or USB drive. Larger macOS systems are constructed much like desktop PCs, making removal of the hard drive easier.

48. Briefly describe image examination methods for macOS.

ANSWER: After making an acquisition, the next step is examining the image of the file system with a forensics tool. The tool you use depends on the image file’s format. For example, if you used EnCase, FTK, or X-Ways Forensics to create an Expert Witness (.e0l) image, you must use one of these tools to analyze the image. If you made a raw format image, you can use any of the following tools:

• BlackBag Technologies Macintosh Forensic Software (OS X only)

• SubRosaSoft MacForensicsLab (OS X only)

• Guidance Software EnCase

• Recon Mac OS X Forensics with Palladin

• X-Ways Forensics

ANSWER: A hard link is a pointer that allows accessing the same file by different filenames (RuteUsers-Guide/Linux Dictionary V 0.16, www.tldp.org/LDP/LinuxDictionary/html/index.html). The filenames refer to the same inode and physical location on a drive. Originally, hard links were used so that people with different logins could access the same physical file. If one person changed the file, the changes would be apparent when another user opened the file.

ANSWER: The U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the Center for Information Systems Security Studies and Research developed a specialized freeware tool called Foremost (see http://foremost.sourceforge.net). Foremost is a carving tool that can read many image file formats, such as raw and Expert Witness. It has a configuration file, foremost.conf, listing the most common file headers, footers, and data structures. If a file format isn’t included in this file, it can be added by using a hex editor to determine the new format’s header and footer values and a text editor to update the file. This file is typically in the /usr/local/etc directory and contains instructions on updating it.

41. Briefly describe the Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) format.

ANSWER: Most digital photographs are stored in the Exchangeable Image File (Exif) format. The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) developed it as a standard for storing metadata in JPEG and TIF files. When a digital photo is taken, information about the device (such as model, make, and serial number) and settings (such as shutter speed, focal length, resolution, date, and time) are stored in the graphics file. Most digital devices store graphics files as Exif JPEG files.

42. Explain how lossless compression relates to image file formats.

ANSWER: Lossless compression techniques reduce file size without removing data. When you uncompress a file that uses lossless compression, you restore all its information. GIF and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file formats reduce file size with lossless compression, which saves file space by using mathematical formulas to represent data in a file. These formulas generally use one of two algorithms: Huffman or Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) coding. Each algorithm uses a code to represent redundant bits of data. For example, if a graphics file contains a large red area, the algorithm can set 1 byte to red and set another byte to specify 200 red bytes instead of having to store 200 red bytes. Therefore, only 2 bytes are used.

43. How does vector quantization (VQ) compress data?

ANSWER: One form of lossy compression, vector quantization (VQ), uses complex algorithms to determine what data to discard based on vectors in the graphics file. In simple terms,VQ discards bits in much the same way rounding off decimal values discards numbers.

44. Write a brief history of steganography.

ANSWER: Steganography has been used since ancient times. Greek rulers used this technique to send covert messages to diplomats and troops via messengers. To hide messages, rulers shaved their messengers’ heads and tattooed messages on their scalps. After the messengers's hair grew enough to cover the message, they left for their destinations, where they shaved their heads so that recipients could read the message. This method was a clever way to send and retrieve encrypted information, but it was inefficient because the messengers’ hair took a long time to grow back, and only a limited amount of space was available to write messages. However, it enabled the Greeks to send secret messages until their enemies discovered this early form of steganography and began intercepting messengers.

45. Describe how to hide information on an 8-bit bitmap image file using substitution steganography. ANSWER: For example, if you use an 8-bit graphics file, each pixel is represented by 8 bits of data containing information about the color each pixel displays onscreen. The bits are prioritized from left to right, such as 11101100. The first bit on the left is the most significant bit (MSB), and the last bit on the right is the least significant bit (LSB). As the names suggest, changing the MSB affects the pixel display more than changing the LSB does. Furthermore, you can usually change only the last two LSBs in an image without producing a noticeable change in the shade of color the pixel displays.

For example, if your secret message is converted to binary form to equal 01101100 and you want to embed this secret message into a picture, you alter the last 2bits of four pixels. You break the binary form into sections of two, as in 01 10 11 00, and insert the bits into the last 2 bits of each pixel.

46. Explain how to use steganalysis tools.

ANSWER: You can use several different steganalysis tools (also called “steg tools”) to detect, decode, and record hidden data, even in files that have been renamed to protect their contents. A steganalysis tool can also detect variations of an image. If a graphics file has been renamed, a steganalysis tool can identify the file format from the file header and indicate whether the file contains an image. Although steganalysis tools can help identify hidden data, steganography is generally difficult to detect. In fact, if steganography is done correctly, in most cases you can’t detect the hidden data unless you can compare the altered file with the original file. Check to see whether the file size, image quality, or file extensions have changed. If so, you might be dealing with a steganography image.

47. Give a brief overview of copyright laws pertaining to graphics within and outside the U.S.

ANSWER: The U.S.Copyright Office Web site defines precisely how copyright laws pertain to graphics (see www.copyright.gov for information on the 1976 Copyright Act). Copyright laws as they pertain to the Internet, however, aren’t as clear. For example, a server in another country might host a Web site, which could mean it’s regulated by copyright laws in that country. Because each country has its own copyright laws, enforcement can be difficult. Contrary to what some might believe, there’s no international copyright law.

49. How does the number of colors a monitor displays affects image quality?

ANSWER: A setting that affects image quality is the number of colors the monitor displays. Graphics files can have different amounts of color per pixel, but each file must support colors with bits of space. The following list shows the number of bits per colored pixel:

• 1 bit = 2 colors

• 4 bits = 16 colors

• 8 bits = 256 colors

• 16 bits = 65,536 colors

• 24 bits = 16,777,216 colors

• 32 bits = 4,294,967,296 colors

Bitmap and raster files use as much of the color palette as possible. However, when you save a bitmap or raster file, the resolution and color might change, depending on the colors in the original file and whether the file format supports these colors.

50. Briefly describe fair use.

ANSWER: A short direct quote for news reporting or critiques is considered fair use, and the material’s originator or owner doesn’t have to be paid. Material used for noncommercial and educational purposes also falls under the fair use guideline. These distinctions can get complicated, however. For example, an instructor copying parts of a book to use as handouts in a class setting is operating within the fair use guideline. On the other hand, if the instructor sends the book to a printer to copy and pays the printer, a copyright violation has occurred because a commercial printer was paid to copy the book, even though the copies were to be used for educational purposes.

41. Describe the effects of scope creep on an investigation in the corporate environment.

ANSWER: In a private-sector environment, however, especially if litigation is involved or anticipated, the company attorney often directs the investigator to recover as much information as possible. Satisfying this demand becomes a major undertaking with many hours of tedious work. These types of investigations can also result in scope creep, in which an investigation expands beyond the original description because o unexpected evidence. Scope creep increases the time and resources needed to extract, analyze, and present all the evidence.

42. Describe with examples why the approach you take for a forensics case depends largely on the specific type of case you’re investigating.

ANSWER: For example, gathering evidence for an e-mail harassment case might involve little more than accessing network logs and e-mail server backups to locate specific messages. Your approach, however, depends on whether the case is an internal organizational investigation or a civil or criminal investigation carried out by law enforcement. In an internal investigation, evidence collection tends to be fairly easy and straightforward because private-sector investigators usually have ready access to the necessary records and files. In contrast, when investigating a criminal cyberstalking case, you need to contact the ISP and e-mail service. Some companies have systems set up to handle these situations, but others do not. Many organizations don’t keep e-mail for longer than 90 days, and some keep it for far less time.

43. How should you approach a case in which an employee is suspected of industrial espionage?

ANSWER: An investigation of an employee suspected of industrial espionage can require the most work. Before initiating this type of investigation, make sure the organization, whether it’s a private company or a public agency, has set up rules of use and limitations of privacy rights, as described in Chapter 1. For these investigations, you might need to set up a surveillance camera to monitor the employee’s activities in the office. You might also need to plant a software or hardware keylogger (for capturing keystrokes remotely), and you need to engage the network administrator’s services to monitor Internet and network activities. In this situation, you might want to do a remote acquisition of the employee’s drive, and then use another tool to determine that peripheral devices have been accessed.

46. How can you validate the integrity of image files with AccessData FTK Imager?

ANSWER: Commercial digital forensics tools have built-in validation features for image acquisitions. These tools generate MD5 and SHA-1 hash values for the data in image files.

For example, in AccessData FTK Imager, when you select the Expert Witness (.E01) or SMART (.S01) format, additional options are available for hashing all the data. FTK Imager then inserts a report into the .E01 or .S01 file that lists MD5 and SHA-1 hash values. Autopsy has a similar feature called E01 Verifier for verifying an Expert Witness image file.

47. How can you hide data by marking bad clusters?

ANSWER: One data-hiding technique used in FAT file systems is placing sensitive or incriminating data in free or slack space on disk partition clusters. This technique, although not common now, involves using older utilities, such as Norton DiskEdit, developed by Symantec as part of its Norton Utilities suite. In Norton DiskEdit, you can mark good clusters as bad clusters in the FAT table. The OS then considers these clusters unusable. The only way they can be accessed from the OS is by changing them to good clusters with a disk editor.

To mark a good cluster as bad in Norton DiskEdit, you type the letter B in the FAT entry corresponding to that cluster when examining the FAT table. You can then use any DOS disk editor to write and read data to this cluster, which is effectively hidden because it appears as bad to the OS.

48. Briefly describe how to use steganography for creating digital watermarks.

ANSWER: The term steganography comes from the Greek word for“hidden writing.”It’s defined as hiding messages in such a way that only the intended recipient knows the message is there.

In addition to steganography, digital watermarking was developed as a way to protect file ownership. Some digital watermarks are designed to be visible for example, to notify users that an image is copyrighted. The digital watermarks used for steganography aren’t usually visible. For example, when viewing two files that look the same, but one has an invisible digital watermark, they appear to be the same file. Their file sizes might even be identical. However, if you run an MD5 or SHA-1 hash comparison on both files, you’ll find that the hash values aren’t equal.

49. Briefly describe known cover attack and known message attack.

ANSWER:

• Known cover attack Used when the cover-media, the original file with no hidden message, and the stego-media, the converted cover-media file that stores the hidden message, are available for analysis. By analyzing the original and steganography files, further comparisons can be made to identify common patterns that might help decipher the message.

• Known message attack Used when the hidden message is revealed later, allowing further analysis of new messages. Similar to the known cover attack, this method uses comparative analysis to decipher the message. Because the message is known, deciphering it takes less effort.

lot of time and processing power, especially if the password is very long. In a dictionary attack, the program uses common words found in the dictionary and tries them as passwords. Most password crackers have dictionaries in a variety of languages, including English, French, Russian, and even Swahili. With some password-cracking tools, you can import additional unique words that are typically extracted from evidence.

41. Why is testing networks as important as testing servers?

ANSWER: Testing networks is as important as testing servers. You need to be up to date on the latest methods intruders use to infiltrate networks as well as methods internal employees use to sabotage networks. In the early and mid-1990s, approximately 70% of network attacks were caused by employees. Since then, this problem has been compounded by contract employees, who often have the same level of network privileges as full-time employees.

In addition, small companies of fewer than 10 employees often don’t consider security precautions against internal threats necessary, so they can be more susceptible to problems caused by employees revealing proprietary information to competitors. However, increasing use of the Internet has caused a rise in external threats, so internal and external threats are currently about 50-50.

42. When are live acquisitions useful?

ANSWER: Live acquisitions are especially useful when you’re dealing with active network intrusions or attacks or if you suspect employees are accessing network areas they shouldn’t. Live acquisitions done before taking a system offline are also becoming a necessity because attacks might leave footprints only in running processes or RAM; for example, some malware disappears after a system is restarted. In addition, information in RAM is lost after you turn off a suspect system. However, after you do a live acquisition, information on the system has changed because your actions affect RAM and running processes, which also means the information can’t be reproduced. Therefore, live acquisitions don’t follow typical forensics procedures.

43. What is the general procedure for a live acquisition?

ANSWER: The following steps show the general procedure for a live acquisition, although investigators differ on exact steps:

1. Create or download a bootable forensic CD or USB drive, and test it before using it on a suspect drive. If the suspect system is on your network and you can access it remotely, add the necessary network forensics tools to your workstation. If not, insert the bootable forensics CD/USB in the suspect system.

2. Make sure you keep a log of all your actions; documenting your actions and reasons for those actions is critical.

3. A network drive is ideal as a place to send the information you collect. If you don’t have one available, connect an external drive to the suspect system for collecting data. Be sure to note this step in your log.

4. Next, copy the physical memory (RAM). WindowsScope (www.windowsscope.com), Magnet AXIOM, OSForensics, FTK Imager, and similar tools can copy the RAM for you.

5. The next step varies, depending on the incident you’re investigating. With an intrusion, for example, you might want to see whether a rootkit exists by using a tool such as Malwarebytes Anti-RootKit or PC Hunter. You can also access the system’s firmware to see whether it has changed, create an image of the drive over the network, or shut down the system and make a static acquisition later.

6. Be sure to get a forensically sound digital hash value of all files you recover during the live acquisition to make sure they aren’t altered later.

45. How should you proceed if your network forensic investigation involves other companies?

ANSWER: As with all investigations, keep preservation of evidence in mind. Your investigation might turn up other companies that have been compromised. In much the same way you wouldn’t turn over proprietary company information to become public record, you shouldn’t reveal information discovered about other companies. In these situations, the best course of action is to contact the companies and enlist their aid in tracking down network intruders. Depending on the situation, at some point you might have to report the incident to federal authorities.

46. How do cloud service providers complicate investigating virtual networks?

ANSWER: Say you’re dealing with a cloud service provider (CSP) that hosts networks for several to hundreds of companies. As stated in the Journal of Cybersecurity article, network forensics investigations in the cloud are hampered by the very qualities that make the cloud appealing elasticity and flexibility. If needed (and it’s allowed in the service level agreement), a new server can come online to deal with load balancing. In addition, automatic failovers are in place, which may or may not be in the same physical location as the server. Add to that hundreds or even thousands of NICs with the same IP address and MAC address, and you can see that traditional physical network forensics can’t handle these arrangements.

47. Briefly describe Intel's Virtualization Technology (VT).

ANSWER: Before attempting to install a type 2 hypervisor, you need to enable virtualization in the BIOS before attempting to create a VM. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) has responded to the need for security and performance by producing different CPU designs With one design, you must go into the BIOS to enable virtualization (which is a hardware function, not an OS function). The other CPU design doesn’t support virtualization. To determine whether your CPU supports virtualization, first look in Control Panel to find out what type of CPU your device has, and then do a search on this particular CPU at http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology.

48. What are some of the steps for conducting a forensic analysis of virtual machines?

ANSWER: Following a consistent procedure when you’re conducting a forensic analysis of VMs is crucial. Here’s an overview:

1. Image the host machine.

2. Locate the virtualization software and VMs, using the information you’ve learned about file extensions and network adapters.

3. Export from the host machine all files associated with VMs, including log files, virtual adapters, and snapshots.

4. Record the hash values of these associated files. Typically, forensics software can perform this task as part of the export function.

5. Next, you can open a VM as an image file in forensics software and create a forensic image of it or mount the VM as a drive and then image it or do a live search.

49. Describe type 1 and type 2 hypervisors.

ANSWER: There are two types of hypervisors: type 1 and type 2. A type 1 hypervisor runs on “bare metal,” meaning it loads on physical hardware and doesn’t require a separate OS, although many type 1 hypervisors incorporate Linux-based operating systems. Literally thousands of VMs can be hosted on a single type 1 hypervisor and many more on a cluster of these hosts. A type 2 hypervisor rests on top of an existing OS, such as Windows, Linux, or macOS.

50. What are the differences between a honeypot and a honeywall?

ANSWER: A honeypot is a computer set up to look like any other machine on your network; its purpose is to lure attackers to your network, but it contains no information of real value. You can take the honeypot offline to analyze it and not affect the running of your network. Honeywalls are computers set up to monitor what’s happening to honeypots on your network and record what attackers are doing (see www.honeynet.org/papers/cdrom/). Honeypots and honeywalls are commonly used to attract intruders and see what they’re attempting to do on a network.

ANSWER: In most cases, an intranet e-mail system is specific to a company, used only by its employees, and regulated by its business practices, which usually include strict security and acceptable use policies. For example, network users can’t create their own e-mail accounts, and usernames tend to follow some type of naming convention that the e-mail administrator determines. For example, for John Smith at Some Company, jsmith is the username followed by the company’s domain name, somecompany.com, to create the e-mail address jsmith@somecompany.com.

ANSWER: After you have determined that a crime has been committed involving e-mail, access the victim’s computer or mobile device to recover the evidence on it. Using the victim’s e-mail client, find and copy any potential evidence. It might be necessary to log on to the e-mail service and access any protected or encrypted files or folders. If you can’t actually sit down at the victim’s computer, you might have to guide the victim on the phone to open and print a copy of an offending message, including the header. The header contains unique identifying numbers, such as the IP address of the server that sent the message. This information helps you trace the e-mail to the suspect.

44. What is forensic linguistics?

ANSWER: A related field that has developed in the past few decades is forensic linguistics, which is where language and the law intersect. The International Association of Forensic Linguists (www.iafl.org/forensic.php) divides this field into four categories: language and law, language in the legal process, language as evidence, and research/teaching. Think about getting e-mails from people you know. Based on the words that are used, you can almost picture the senders’ facial expressions, such as smiles or frowns, and you can probably tell when the language doesn’t sound like them, which might indicate they didn’t write the emails.

46. Explain how to handle attachments during an e-mail investigation.

ANSWER: An attachment can be any type of file, from a program to a picture. If a message includes an attachment, investigate it as a supporting piece of evidence. If you’re working with the victim, the attachment is usually still attached to the e-mail. If you’re investigating a suspect’s computer, remember to work with the copied version. On a suspect’s computer or forensic image, search for the attached file with a forensics tool or the OS’s Search or Find feature to determine whether the file was saved and still exists on the drive.

If you’re investigating an e-mail attachment with an unfamiliar file extension, such as .mdf, you can search the Internet to find out what program creates a file of this type.

47. Why are network router logs important during an e-mail investigation?

ANSWER: Network administrators maintain logs of the inbound and outbound traffic routers handle. Routers have rules to allow or deny traffic based on source or destination IP address. In most cases, a router is set up to track all traffic flowing through its ports. Using these logs, you can determine the path a transmitted e-mail has taken. The network administrator who manages routers can supply the log files you need. Review the router logs to find the victim’s (recipient’s) e-mail, and look for the unique ID number.

49. Provide a brief description of Microsoft Exchange Server.

ANSWER: Exchange Server, generally called Exchange, is the Microsoft e-mail server software. Exchange uses an Exchange database and is based on the Microsoft Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), which uses several files in different combinations to provide e-mail service. The files most useful to an investigation are .edb database files, checkpoint files, and temporary files.

In older versions of Exchange, .edb files were the database files you needed. An .edb file is responsible for messages formatted with Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), a Microsoft system that enables different e-mail applications to work together.

50. Briefly explain forensic tools for social media investigations.

ANSWER: Software for social media forensics is being developed, but not many tools are available. A number of social media tools that were free or inexpensive have now been incorporated into forensics suites, such as FTK Social Analyzer, or offer only 14-day to 30-day trials. In addition, there are many questions about how the information these tools gather can be used in court or in arbitration. Investigators often run into the problem of finding information unrelated to a case, and sometimes they must stop to get another warrant or subpoena, such as investigating a claim of fraud and finding evidence of corporate espionage.

ANSWER: As described in NIST SP 800-101, three main components are used for communication with these cells:

* Base transceiver station (BTS) This component is made up of radio transceiver equipment that defines cells and communicates with mobile phones; it’s sometimes referred to as a cell phone tower, although the tower is only one part of the BTS equipment.

* Base station controller (BSC) This combination of hardware and software manages BTSs and assigns channels by connecting to the mobile switching center.

* Mobile switching center (MSC) This component connects calls by routing digital packets for the network and relies on a database to support subscribers. This central database contains account data, location data, and other key information needed during an investigation. If you have to retrieve information from a carrier’s central database, you usually need a warrant or subpoena.

41. Explain why digital forensics examiners should be most concerned with restrictions applied to customers and security measures.

ANSWER: Digital forensics examiners should be most concerned with restrictions applied to customers and security measures. These CSP components must state who is authorized to access data and what the limitations are in conducting acquisitions for an investigation. Because many cloud vendors spread data storage systems across multiple countries, the CSP should also address any multi-jurisdiction concerns and define how conflicts between laws of different countries will be resolved.

42. Explain what "anti-forensics" is, and provide detail on some anti-forensics tactics.

ANSWER: Destroying ESI that’s potential evidence is called “anti-forensics.” Anti-forensics tactics are used in cloud environments as well as in other network environments. Hackers might obfuscate incriminating files or hide them by the simple technique of changing file extensions. Specialized malware for defeating evidence collection can add time to an investigation and result in the loss of valuable evidence. Additional methods for antiforensics include inserting malware programs in other files, using encryption to obfuscate malware programs activated through other malware programs, and using data-hiding utilities that append malware to existing files. Other techniques affect file metadata by changing the modify and last access times. Changing file timestamps can make it difficult to develop a timeline of a hacker’s activities.

ANSWER: With FROST, collected data is placed in the cloud’s management plane, which is a tool with application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow reconfiguring a cloud on the fly; it’s accessed through the application’s Web interface. Because the hypervisor is bypassed, special malware can take control of the virtual session and deny or alter access. It can also prevent or interfere with forensic analysis and data collection.

44. Explain what a government agency subpoena is, and describe how it is used.

ANSWER: U.S. Code 18 states that customer communications and records can’t be knowingly divulged to any person or entity, although it allows specific exceptions to government agencies. This type of subpoena is used to get information when it’s believed there’s a danger of death or serious physical injury or to get information for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. U.S. federal courts interpret this as meaning that no Stored Communications Act provision permits disclosure for a civil discovery order unless the order comes from a government entity: “Subpoena may not be enforced consistent with the plain language of the Privacy Act because the exceptions enumerated in § 2702(b) do not include civil discovery subpoenas.”

45. Explain what non-government and civil litigation subpoenas are, and describe how they work.

ANSWER: Non-government and civil litigation subpoenas are used to produce information from private parties for litigation. An example of how they apply to a CSP can be seen in Flagg v. City of Detroit (252 F.R.D. 346, E.D. Mich., 2008). A CSP received a civil subpoena for the production of electronically stored information (ESI) in the cloud, including text messages sent or received by city employees who used mobile devices supplied by SkyTel. Although the court determined that this data could be subject to discovery under the Federal Rules of

ANSWER: Organizations that sell cloud services have cloud service agreements (CSAs) with their customers, which are also called “master service agreements” or "service legal agreements (SLAs)." A CSA is a contract between a CSP and the customer that describes what services are being provided and at what level. It should also specify support options, penalties for services not provided, system performance (periods of downtime and uptime, for example), fees, provided software or hardware, and so forth.

47. What capabilities should a forensic tool have to handle acquiring data from the cloud?

ANSWER: Tools must be able to identify, label, record, and acquire data from the cloud. To meet the elastic nature of clouds, tools must be able to expand and contract their data storage capabilities as the demand for services changes. Additionally, clouds are set up for multitenancy, meaning many different unrelated businesses and users share the same applications and storage space, so forensics tools must be able to separate each customer’s data. Finally, because cloud operations typically run in a virtual environment, forensics tools should have the capability to examine virtual systems.

48. Explain what a court order is, and describe how it is used.

ANSWER: Court orders are written by judges to compel someone to do or not do something, such as a CSP producing user logon activities. Under U.S. Code 18, court orders are available only to government agencies. In U.S. federal courts, it’s interpreted as meaning that a court order can be issued by “any court that is a court of competent jurisdiction” only if the government

agency “offers specific and articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the contents of a wire or electronic communication, or the records or other information sought, are relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation.” When a state government agency is involved, a court order can’t be issued if the laws of the state prohibit it.

49. Describe the role of incident first responders, and discuss some factors that should be addressed with first responders.

ANSWER: Typically, CSPs have personnel trained to respond to network incidents, such as system and network administrators who handle normal support services for the cloud. When a network intrusion occurs, they become first responders to the incident. If a CSP doesn’t have an internal first responder team, the forensics examiner should organize CSP staff to handle these tasks. Some factors to address include the following:

• Will the CSP’s operations staff be cooperative and follow directions, and will management issue orders stating that you’re the leader of the investigation?

• Do you need to brief staff about operations security? For example, you might need to explain that they should talk only to others who have a need to know about the incident and the investigation’s activities.

• Do you need to train staff in evidence collection procedures, including the chain of custody?

50. Discuss the four different types of cloud deployment methods.

ANSWER: A public cloud is accessible to anyone, and typically, the only identification required is an email address. This deployment method offers no security, but it’s popular because of its ease of use. Next is a private cloud, which can be accessed only by people who have the necessary credentials, such as logon names and passwords; sometimes location is used as a way to restrict access, too. Most companies have private clouds. A community cloud is a way to bring people together for a specific purpose. For example, say a city wants all small businesses to have access to the same documents and templates. By creating a community cloud, the city can make these files accessible to those who have a current business license. A hybrid cloud enables a company to keep some information private and designate other files as public or community information.

41. What are the report requirements for civil cases as specified on Rule 26, FRCP?

ANSWER: For civil cases, including those involving digital forensics investigations, U.S. district courts require that expert witnesses submit written reports; state courts are also starting to require reports from expert witnesses, although the details of report requirements vary. Therefore, if you’re a digital forensics examiner involved in a civil case, you must write a report explaining your investigation and findings. Specifically, Rule 26, FRCP, requires that parties who anticipate calling an expert witness to testify must provide a copy of the expert’s written report that includes all opinions, the basis for the opinions, and the information considered in coming to those opinions. The report must also include related exhibits, such as photographs or diagrams, and the witness’s curriculum vitae listing all publications he or she contributed to during the preceding 10 years. (These publications do not have to be relevant to the case.)

42. Briefly explain how to limit your report to specifics.

ANSWER: The client (who might be an attorney, a detective, or an investigator) should define the investigation’s goal or mission. All reports to the client should start by stating this mission or goal, which is usually to find information on a specific subject, recover certain important documents, or recover certain types of files or files with specific dates and times. Clearly defining the goals reduces the time and cost of the examination and is especially important with the increasing size of hard drives and complexity of networks.

Chapter 14: Report Writing for High-Tech Investigations

Before you begin writing, identify your audience and the purpose of the report to help you focus on specifics. Remember that if the audience has little technical knowledge, you might have to dedicate part of the report to educating readers on technical issues. You can do this with a set of several stock paragraphs that you keep on hand, although you should update these stock definitions periodically.

43. What are the areas of investigation usually addressed by a verbal report?

ANSWER: A verbal report is usually a preliminary report and addresses areas of investigation yet to be completed, such as the following:

* Tests that haven’t been concluded

* Interrogatories that the lawyer might want to address to opposing parties

* Document production, either requests for production (to parties) or subpoenas (to nonparties, people who have information but aren’t a named party in the case)

* Determining who should be deposed and the plan for deposing them

44. Explain how hypothetical questions can be used to ensure that you as a witness are basing your opinion on facts expected to be supported by evidence.

ANSWER: The law requires that an expert who doesn’t have personal knowledge about the system or the occurrence must state opinions by response to hypothetical questions, which ask the expert witness to express an opinion based on hypothetical facts without referring to a particular system or situation. In this regard, you as a forensics investigator (an expert witness) differ from an ordinary witness. You didn’t see or hear the incident in dispute; you’re giving evidence as an opinion based on professional knowledge and experience, even if you might never have seen the system, data, or scene.

Although the rules of evidence have relaxed requirements on the way in which an expert renders an opinion, structuring hypothetical questions for your own use helps ensure that you’re basing your opinion on facts expected to be supported by evidence. State the facts needed to answer the question, and don’t include any unnecessary facts. You might want to address alternative facts, however, if they allow your opinion to remain the same. The expression “alternative facts” might seem contradictory, but it simply means competing facts.

45. What are the four conditions required for an expert witness to testify to an opinion or conclusion?

ANSWER: As an expert witness, you can testify to an opinion, or conclusion if these basic conditions are met:

* The opinion, inferences, or conclusions depend on special knowledge, skill, or training not within the ordinary experience of lay witnesses or jurors.

* The witness must be shown to be qualified as a true expert in the field (which is why the curriculum vitae is important).

* The witness must testify to a reasonable degree of certainty (probability) about his or her opinion, inference, or conclusion.

* At minimum, expert witnesses must know the relevant data (facts) on which their opinion, inference, or conclusion is based, and they must be prepared to testify in response to a hypothetical question that sets forth the underlying evidence.

47. Provide some guidelines for writing an introduction section for a report.

ANSWER: The introduction should state the report’s purpose (the questions to be answered) and show that you’re aware of its terms of reference. You should also state any methods used and any limitations and indicate how the report is structured. It’s important to justify why you’re writing the report, so make sure you answer the question “What is the problem?” You should also give readers a map of what you’re delivering. Introduce the problem, moving from broader issues to the specific problem, finishing the introduction with the precise aims of the report (key questions). Craft this introduction carefully, setting up the processes you used to develop the information in logical order. Refer to relevant facts, ideas, and theories as well as related research by other authors. Organize discussion sections logically under headings to reflect how you classify information and to ensure that your information remains relevant to the investigation.

ANSWER: To produce clear, concise reports, you should assess the quality of your writing. Consider the following criteria:

* Communicative quality Is it easy to read? Think of your readers and how to make the report appealing to them.

* Ideas and organization Is the information relevant and clearly organized?

* Grammar and vocabulary Is the language simple and direct so that the meaning is clear and the text isn’t repetitive? However, technical terms should be used consistently; you shouldn’t try to use variety for these terms. Using different words for the same thing might raise questions.

* Punctuation and spelling Are they accurate and consistent?

49. Explain how to use supportive material on a report.

ANSWER: Use supporting material such as figures, tables, data, and equations to help tell the story as it unfolds. Refer to this material in the text and integrate the points they make into your writing. Number figures and tables sequentially as they’re introduced (for example, Figure 1, Figure 2, and so forth with another sequence for Table 1, Table 2, and so on).

Figure captions should supply descriptive information. In charts, label all axes and include units of measure. Insert a figure or table after the paragraph in which it’s first mentioned, or gather all supporting material in one place after the references section (before any appendixes).

50. How should you explain examination and data collection methods?

ANSWER: Explain how you studied the problem, which should follow logically from the purpose of the report. Depending on the kind of data, this section might contain subsections on examination procedures, materials or equipment, data collection and sources, and analytical or statistical techniques. Supply enough detail for readers to understand what you did.

Data collection is a critical portion of the report. Without good data recording in a lab notebook or file, completing a report beyond this point is futile. If your data collection process becomes the subject of discovery or examination, presenting data in a well-organized manner is important. Use tables in your report to illustrate how data was handled and examined. As mentioned, tables should be labeled clearly as to their content and numbered for ease of referral.

31. What are the differences between a fact witness and an expert witness?

ANSWER: As a fact witness, you provide only the facts you have found in your investigation any evidence that meets the relevance standard and is more probative than prejudicial. When you give technical or scientific testimony, you present this evidence and explain what it is and how it was obtained. You don’t offer conclusions, only the facts and ordinary inferences based on that evidence. However, as an expert witness, you have opinions about what you have found or observed. You form these opinions from experience and deductive reasoning based on facts found during an investigation. In fact, it’s your opinion that makes you an expert witness.

32. What should you do when preparing for testimony?

ANSWER: When preparing for testimony, establish communication early with your attorney. Before you start processing evidence, learn about the victim, the complainant, opposing experts or fact witnesses, and the opposing attorney as soon as possible. Learn the basic points of the dispute. As you learn about the case, take notes, but keep them in rough draft form and record only the facts, keeping your opinions to a minimum.

35. What are some of the reasons to avoid contact with news media during a case?

ANSWER: Some legal actions generate interest from the news media, but you should avoid contact with news media, especially during a case, for the following reasons:

* Your comments could harm the case and create a record that can be used against you.

* You have no control over the context of the information a journalist publishes.

* You can’t rely on a journalist’s promises of confidentiality. Journalists have been known to be aggressive in getting information, and their interests do not coincide with yours or your client’s. Be on guard at all times because your comments could be interpreted in a manner that taints your impartiality in this case and future cases. Even after the case is resolved, avoid discussing details with the press.

36. What are the procedures followed during a trial?

ANSWER: Before you are called to testify in court, you should become familiar with the usual procedures followed during a trial. First, your attorney examines you about your qualifications to demonstrate to the court that you are competent as an expert witness or a fact witness. The opposing counsel might then cross-examine you on your qualifications (perhaps in an attempt to discredit you). Next, your attorney guides you through your testimony, and then opposing counsel can cross-examines you on your testimony. Your attorney might then have an opportunity for redirect examination of material addressed in cross-examination. After your testimony, you might be called back to update your testimony, or you might be called as a rebuttal witness.

37. What should you do when you find exculpatory evidence?

ANSWER: If you’re working for a prosecutor in a criminal case and believe you have found exculpatory evidence (evidence that exonerates or diminishes the defendant’s liability), you have an obligation to ensure that the evidence isn’t concealed. Initially, you should report the evidence (emphasizing its exculpatory nature) to the prosecutor handling the case. Be sure you document communicating your concern to the prosecutor. If this information isn’t disclosed to the defense attorney in a reasonable time, you can report it to the prosecutor’s supervisor. Be sure to document this communication, too. Documentation of each attempt to induce disclosure and your reasoning is important to protect your reputation.

If these efforts still don’t result in disclosure, you can report the lack of disclosure to the judge. Be sure you have documented your attempts to bring the matter to the prosecutor’s attention before bringing it to the judge. Don’t communicate directly with the defense attorney; reporting evidence to the judge fulfills your obligation.

38. How can you deal with rapid-fire questions during a cross-examination?

ANSWER: During examinations, lawyers aren’t supposed to ask another question until you have finished

Chapter 15: Expert Testimony in Digital Investigations

answering the current question. However, the opposing counsel sometimes uses rapid-fire questions during cross-examination that are meant to throw you off. Taking a moment to turn toward the jury before you answer gives you more control over the timing and speed opposing attorney’s examination. Even though your attorney should object by saying, “Counsel has not allowed the witness to answer the question,” don’t be afraid to regroup and restate your answers if you get confused during your testimony. Jurors will sympathize because often they are confused by the opposing attorney’s questions, too.

39. Explain the differences between discovery deposition and testimony preservation deposition.

ANSWER: There are two types of depositions: discovery and testimony preservation. A discovery deposition is part of the discovery process for trial. The opposing attorney who requested the deposition often conducts the equivalent of a direct examination and a cross-examination.

A testimony preservation deposition is usually requested by your client to preserve your testimony in case of schedule conflicts or health problems. These depositions are often video recorded in addition to the written transcript, and your testimony is entered by playing the video recording for the jury. In some cases, you can set the deposition at your laboratory or have lab facilities available, which can make it easier to conduct demonstrations and produce better testimony.

40. Briefly describe judicial hearings.

ANSWER: A judicial hearing is held in court to determine the admissibility of certain evidence before trial. No jury is present, but evidentiary suppression hearings are usually held early in the case to determine whether a criminal case moves forward or is dismissed. Generally, they focus more on your procedure in obtaining and preserving evidence than on the substance of the evidence or your opinion. They can also include the basis or authority (warrant or probable cause) for you conducting the examination. In most criminal cases, the defense attorney seeks to suppress any evidence for which there’s an arguable basis for rejection.

ANSWER: If you’re going to have a long and productive career as an expert witness, beware of attorneys’ opinion shopping. An attorney might be willing to risk your career to improve the prospect of success in a case and can always find another expert for the next case. The most effective way to prevent opinion shopping is to require that the attorney retaining your services send you enough material on the case for you to make an evaluation. Distinguishing opinion shopping from the process of attempting to disqualify experts by creating conflicts can be difficult, however.

43. Describe some of the traps for unwary experts.

ANSWER: Expert witnesses should be cautious about the following potential traps, even though some aren’t laid deliberately:

* What are some differences between the attorney’s motives and the investigator’s duty that might affect how the investigator acts, or is expected to act, as an expert witness?

* Is the function of the expert witness in conflict with the investigator’s code of professional responsibility?

* Attorneys look at witnesses’ codes of professional responsibility based on organizations that they are members of. As an expert witness, you should anticipate that the opposing counsel will look at your organization memberships and those organizations’ codes of professional responsibility.

48. Why is it difficult to enforce any professional organization’s ethical guidelines?

ANSWER: Enforcing any professional organization’s ethical guidelines is difficult. The principles can be enforced only against members of the organization, and if the expert chooses to withdraw from the organization, there’s no effective mechanism to enforce the guidelines, unless the organization is a licensing agency. For forensics examiners testifying as experts, this means an organization has limited influence over examiners as witnesses in the form of peer pressure and reputation among peers. In addition, without a specific organization to oversee and comment on current expert testimony standards or transgressions, it’s difficult to identify and investigate violations or to apprise an organization’s members of acceptable methodologies and standards.

49. What are the ethical responsibilities owed to you by your attorney?

ANSWER: Your attorney owes you a fair statement of the case or situation, adequate time to review evidence and prepare your report, and a reasonable opportunity to examine data, conduct testing, and investigate the matter before rendering an opinion. If the attorney wants you to render an opinion quickly and without adequate opportunity to review, be cautious. He might be trying to get you to commit based on inadequate information, or he’s trying to rush you because he hasn’t kept track of critical dates and is under pressure to meet a deadline. The attorney might also hold you under subpoena for an excessive amount of time waiting to testify. This might reflect difficulties in anticipating the amount of time required for other witnesses’ testimony; however, you should be paid for the waiting time per the fee

agreement. Making any portion of your fee dependent on a favorable report is inappropriate and should be a breach of the fee agreement. You are owed fair compensation for your time and work under the terms of the fee agreement.

50. Why would the use of standard tools, such as those that are commercially created, be preferable over personally created tools?

ANSWER: The tools you use to recover, control, and track evidence are subject to review by opposing parties. If the court deems them unreliable, the evidence you recovered with them might not be admitted or might be admitted with a limiting instruction. If you use standard tools commonly used tools or commercially available tools you simplify the process of validating them.

Tools you've created, if they’re designed for a specific purpose and have been tested adequately to validate their accuracy for that purpose, might have advantages that you can demonstrate to a judge, who ultimately determines whether evidence is admissible. For example, a tool you’ve created could be more compact or run more efficiently than other comparable tools. You’re still required to validate these personal tools, however, and might have to share their source code for analysis. Remember that “borrowing” code from other products or incorporating other tools into your own without acknowledgment or paying royalties could be a violation of copyright law and is considered theft. In addition, it can result in major embarrassment for you, could have serious criminal and civil liability implications, and could adversely affect the attorney who retained you.
