Dual DAT Imager

 
Dual DAT Imager The Dual DAT Imager is designed for those who need to capture large amounts of computer evidence on site reliably, quickly and efficiently. The Imager produces both evidential and working images, and with a combination of activity log and digital fingerprints provides an audit trail that can be presented as part of the evidence in a Court of Law.

The imaging software has been developed by Vogon over the past decade to offer high imaging performance together with comprehensive auditing and anti-repudiation techniques. This imaging process is independent of the file system(s) on the hard drive under investigation, and is recognised by courts around the world as the only valid means of capturing computer evidence.

Forensic software tools are available to provide the facility to process and investigate data held within an image. The Software page covers the features of these software tools. Disk Emulator hardware is available to automatically produce a "clone" disk from the image for use under direct operating system control.

Features of the Dual DAT Imager

  • Direct PC attachment: SCSI or parallel port attachment to computer under investigation or a forensic workstation.

  • Unlimited theoretical capacity: Images can span multiple tapes. Each DDS-4 DAT tape typically holds between 20 and 40GB of data depending on compression ratio.

  • Duplicate image production: Two images may be recorded simultaneously: "Evidential" and "Working".

  • Virtually unattended operation: After the imaging process has started, the operator only needs to remove and write protect the tape when image is complete or when prompted for continuation media.

  • Progress and status reporting: The software provides an on-screen progress display and a printable status report is generated for audit purposes.

  • Real-time reporting: A display panel on the Imager provides full status information.

  • Anti-repudiation facility: CRC32 and MD5 checksums generated during the imaging process allow the image to be validated at any time.

  • Accessories: Includes all hardware and software required to take an image and includes a custom made carry bag.

  • Technical Support: A dedicated support team at Vogon will provide email and/or telephone support to ensure any technical issues are handled promptly and effectively.

  • Training: Full training on the use of Vogon products is available at Vogon's training centres in UK and Germany, or may be arranged at client's training facility.
