Forensic Lab setup

jhup · 2009-05-16T00:51:14Z

So, it finally happened.I get a call and I am told to "set up a forensic lab"… Budget? "Don't worry about it." Time frame? "Aren't you done yet?"…Years of begging, an now I am so nervous I lose track of what I need, I have to take a step back.Most of my work is US, but EMEA or Asia is not unheard of.I could use some kibitzing.Do you store your non-active evidence in a cage & vault, just vault, just cage?I have standard evidence bags, so that's not an issue, just have no idea what will happen when this starts to get into a swing of things.Is it better to store each digital evidence in its own device (i.e. HDD/double blue ray), or can I use a large, secure SAN or NAS?What is your favorite "catch all" hardware write blocker? (IDE/SATA/PATA/USB/etc)On the field - dedicated collection device, or "generic" laptop?Temporary storages for images out on the field - presuming I can slave the device to collecting machine (be it laptop, or dedicated machine) external drives or the drive of the collecting device?I do little mobile forensics now, but once the word gets out, it will start picking up.What is your preferred mobile device collection tool?What is your preferred mobile device analysis tool?Anyone uses Encase Neutrino? pros/cons?Anyone uses Paraben’s Network E-mail Examiner?- - -Anything else I am missing?I am working up all the internal forms and procedures… Is there some template package out there?I am making a laundry list of services, and all the docs that go with it. On top of that, they also want me to get a training package going how to & not to handle potential evidence on the field…p.s. Hello all! D
