Capture an image anywhere with this economical and versatile forensics tool
kit!
The Ultimate Tool kit for Investigating Computer Crime! The Solo 2 Forensic system is a hand-held software duplication device made for computer disk drive data seizure. Image capture operations can be performed from a suspect's drive to another hard drive with duplication speeds up to 1.8 GB/Min.
The Solo 2 Forensic Kit contains all the capabilities of the Solo 2 Forensic system with these additional features:
1460D slim SCSI card with wide SCSI adapter and cable, to seize from SCSI drive.
Solo Forensics Thermal Serial Printer
Serial thermal printer provides output for audit trail.
To help you carry and protected our product. Can accommodate the Solo-2 unit, Forensic Printer, Slim Scsi, Drive-Lock.
STANDARD FEATURES OF THE FORENSICS SUPER KIT INCLUDE:
Copy
100% of the suspect's hard drive as physical or logical images
System transfers data between IDE, EIDE, and Ultra-DMA IDE hard disk drives. Also transfers from SCSI hard drives to IDE drives via the optional PCMCIA SCSI adapter kit.
Data
transfer rate exceeds 1.8 GB/minute!
The Solo 2 is powered by our patented ImageMASSter technology. The system operates in true Ultra-DMA mode, complete with built-in CRC error-checking on the fly - with no sacrifice in speed!
CRC32
Signature Generator
The Image MASSter Solo-2 Forensic provides the capability of generating a
CRC32-CCITT Standard signature value during the Single Capture operation.
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) 32 (32 bit value) Generator is a data verification
tool that aids corporate and government specialists with computer crime investigation
during evidence seizure. The CRC32 Generator helps ensure reliable data transfer
and provides a method of verifying and comparing seized data. The CRC32 generates
a 32-bit value and is displayed as an 8-digit, 4-byte hexadecimal value. When
duplicating and storing data captured from a suspect's computer, the authenticity
of the original data must be retained (for example, as evidence in court), and
a proven method must be used to ensure that the copied data is identical to
the original. CRC32 mathematically creates a "signature" value for
the seized data.
Host
Protected Area (HPA)
HPA is defined as a reserved area for data storage outside the normal operating
file system. This area is hidden from the operating system and file system,
and is normally used for specialized applications.
Systems may wish to store configuration data or save memory to the hard disk
drive device in a location that the operating systems cannot change. If an HPA
area exists on a suspect's drive, the Image MASSter Solo-2 Forensic seizure
operation will detect this area and copy all the contents of the suspect's hard
disk drive sectors, including all the HPA hidden sectors, to the evidence drive.
Device
Configuration Overlay (DCO)
DCO allows systems to modify the apparent features provided by a hard disk
drive device. It provides a set of commands that allow a utility program to
modify some of the commands, modes, and feature sets reported as supported by
the hard disk drive. It can be used to hide a portion of the hard disk drive's
capacity from being viewed by the operating system and the file system.
If DCO is detected on a suspect's drive, the Image MASSter Solo-2 Forensic seizure
operation will copy all the contents of the suspect's hard disk drive sectors
including all the DCO hidden sectors to the evidence drive.
LINUX-DD
format
Added LINUX-DD format duplication support. In this mode the image of the suspect
drive will be written as 640MB files into a FAT32 partition on the evidence
drive. If the FAT32 partition does not exist it will be created and scaled for
the whole drive. By selecting the LINUX-DD Seize method using the 'Single Capture'
copy mode it is also possible to store multiple LINUX-DD captured images on
a single evidence drive. Each image will be stored in a separate subdirectory
on the evidence
drive referenced by case name. In addition, a text file will be created in each
individual
subdirectory containing information about the operation performed.
Bad
Sectors
Improved bad sector handling by providing operator with the option to skip entire block of sectors if a bad sector exists within the block of sectors read. Enabling this feature reduces the copy time required to copy a drive containing many bad sectors in comparison to the default operation in which individual bad sectors within the block of sectors are skipped.. The option to skip the entire block is enable by selecting 'Skip block' from the 'Bad Sector' menu item.
48-Bit
Support
Provides 48-bit drive support to handle drives larger than 137GB.
Drive
Lock Detection
Provides enhanced Drive Lock detection handling. The result log records the presence of the Drive Lock device and records the Drive Lock firmware version.
PrintOur
Unit Setting and more onfo.
Audit hard copy prints out additional information, such as unit's settings
and Drive Lock information if device is attached.
New
Speed Menu
A 'Speed' selection feature has been added to the SET menu to address issues in which the unit may duplicate at lower than expected transfer rates or if the operation fails during the benchmark or copy process.
Parallel
transfer rate at 40 MB/minute
What about when there are ''accessibility'' problems? Seizure of the PC is not possible; occasionally the workstation is jammed into a corner or perhaps it's a warranty sealed laptop chassis. The Solo 2 Forensic system allows you to plug into a parallel port and download the image from the PC's hard drive directly to the hard drive in the Solo 2, so you can download from either IDE or SCSI drives without removing the cover of the PC. Perfect for hard to reach PC's and laptop hard drives!
PCMCIA
Interface
A versatile PCMCIA 2.1 PC Card socket is available along with tested and
approved PC Cards that fulfill the following additional feature
enhancements.
1. SCSI interface to allow capture of suspect SCSI devices to an IDE drive
contained in the Solo 2 Forensic system (requires optional SCSI kit). Also
enables the use of SCSI Magneto Optical and tape drives for the CD Backup
and CD Restore features. Maximum speed achieved 60MB/min!
2. Ethernet connection that provides access to a file server for upload and
download of software images to and from the Solo2 master drive. Maximum speed
achieved 35MB/min! (Requires
purchasing the "Network"
option).
3. Flash Memory interface for saving error log information during technical
support cycles, and for loading new application software as it becomes
available on the ICS web-site. (Requires purchasing the "Flash
Memory" option).
Soft-Sided
Carrying Case
Your Solo comes to you in a lightweight, padded carrying case with extra pockets to hold cables, power plug adapters, and drives. We also include a screwdriver and MAGlite for those hard to reach places
Fast-SCSI PC Card and cable kit for attaching SCSI devices for backup and restore to Magneto-Optical and CD/RW drives.
Solo Forensics Thermal Serial
Printer
Serial thermal printer provides output for audit trail. The audit trail, printed on very high quality durable thermal paper, will provide irrefutable evidence of the capture event.
One year standard warranty includes parts and labor
.
BUILT-IN SOFTWARE FEATURES
The
Solo 2 Forensic system includes Single and Multi-Capture modes:
Single Capture - copies an exact image from the suspect's hard drive to the drive attached to the Solo 2 Forensics unit.
Multi-Capture - allows user to seize multiple hard drive images to a single target drive.
WipeOut
Sanitizes the drive being copied to before capturing the seized image. Written to Department of Defense specification 5220-22M, this feature completely erases the drive you are copying to.
Audit
Trail
Using the optional serial thermal printer, the Solo prints an audit trail that captures the date, time, image size and drive information for both drives, plus verifies that all partitions are successfully copied. The audit trail, printed on very high quality durable thermal paper, will provide irrefutable evidence of the capture event.
DTRANS
Drive Translation Inspector (DTRANS) inspects all IDE hard drives in the system for proper drive parameters prior to capture.
Bad
Sector Prompt
This feature allows the user to stop and prompt when bad sectors are encountered on the suspect drive; bad sectors may be "padded" with zeros to allow the capture process to continue.
