Hey guys,
Today, I encountered a Macbook Retina 2015 with a single USB-C port and I need to image it. I have the password as well as a Macquisition license.
I know Scott Moulton posted a video on Youtube a couple of months ago. (https://
I already have to buy some hardware to do the job, since the power adapter was not seized with the computer. I just want to make sure that I'm buying the right hardware.
Thanks.
that seems to be the best way due to the ports.
Also the hub i believe has to be apple hub.
I encountered a Macbook Retina 2015 last week. The machine installed bootcamp partition to run Windows. And I DON'T have the MacOS and Windows password to login.
Therefore, I went for the Target Disk Mode solution. I bought the Apple USB-C to USB adapter, and used a male to male USB 3.0 cable to connect the Macbook Retina 2015 to my forensics Macbook Air. It worked. Then I started using dd command to acquire the hard drive.
HOWEVER, the transfer speed is ridiculously SLOW! the speed is less than 700KB/s, and it would take 10 days to acquire the 500GB hard drive. Anyone have this slow speed issue?
Why do you need provide any passwords? Just get a USB Hub with power supply, hook up some external HDD to it, boot from McQuisition attached to it and image either core storage or the whole disk. Nice and easy.
