April 12, 2004Forensic Analysis of a Live Linux SystemI know I have had quite a few people interested in my presentation on doing a forensic analysis of a compromised Linux hard drive, and judging by the number of people that have asked for my presentation slide deck, there is a lot of interest in the subject. SecurityFocus has recently published a pair of good articles on doing a forensic analysis of a LIVE Linux system. So where my presentations of grave robbing a dead drive goes down one path, these articles go down the other and allow you more in depth analysis of the running host. (Although I must admit, in practice, I am not one to allow a compromised system to stay up and running once its been determined to be breached.. I would rather mirror the system and then test it in an isolated environment... VMWare is your friend!) Anyways, well worth the read... you should check it out:

Good read... This could be a great use for a RAID mirror. Simply yank one of the mirrored drives for later offline analysis, then start doing some realtime forensics before what's in memory is lost. Posted by: Wim at April 13, 2004 09:56 PM |
