Build a comprehensive Digital Forensic Lab To build a comprehensive forensic Network you have to consider many things. Steps: 1- Forensic Systems & Workstations (FRED and FRED DX that, FRED means Forensic Recovery of Evidence Device. The FRED family of forensic workstations are highly integrated, flexible and modular forensic platforms that FRED Device supports integrity check for following: - IDE Drive Hardware Write Blocker - SATA Drive Hardware Write Blocker - SAS Drive Write Blocker - USB Write Blocker - Firewire Write Blocker - MultiMedia/Memory Card Forensic Write Blocker 2- Forensic Network (High Speed & High Capacity Servers) => You can build an FREDC Network (Forensic Recovery of Evidence Center) (The FREDC is a fully configured, private cloud, for Forensic Storage. Centralized Storage, centralized administration, centralized security, and centralized backup, in this case All the things that made REAL file servers great - all in a platform fast enough to make it worthwhile! Unlike other "IT-Centers", the FREDC has been designed to be fast and reliable for direct forensic imaging and processing from / to the server itself. 3- Wire Blockers ( some digital devices or data is encrypted that supports => data integrity check so this device will protect data integrity from changes) 4- Forensic devices (you should consider powerful devices such as): => GPU Power Station is the first commercially available Super Computer expansion chassis designed and optimized for massive parallel processing and computation. The enclosure contains four NVidia GTX TITAN Video cards for a total of 10,752 CUDA processors. If your system has enough PCIe resources you can add a fifth GTX TITAN to your workstation for a total of 13,440 CUDA processors. => Use FANNIE that means Forensic Area Network Numerous Imaging Enclosure. FANNIE is a high-speed, shareable, modular imaging enclosure for use on Gigabit Ethernet networks. => Modular Accessories like Data wiper such as "The Drive Wiper" and Drive Cooler are a cost effective solution for a hard drive wiping station. => Hard Copy device to duplicate Hard disks (Portable Forensic Hard Drive Duplicators) Now with MD5, SHA256 and an integrated IDE port. The HardCopy 3P has been refined and redesigned to meet the ever-growing needs of progressive and committed forensic investigators.
