  • Disk Management (4 Min) When We Want to Install a Hard Drive in Our System We're Going to Need to Make That Hard Drive Either a Basic Disk Or a Dynamic Disk
    Video – Disk Management (4 min) When we want to install a hard drive in our system we're going to need to make that hard drive either a basic disk or a dynamic disk. A basic disk, which is the default, contains primary and extended partitions as well as logical drives. A basic disk is limited to four partitions. The Windows operating system needs to be installed onto a basic disk. After it's installed the basic disk can then be converted to a dynamic disk. Primary partition. The primary partition contains the operating system. There can be up to four primary partitions per hard drive and a primary partition cannot be subdivided into smaller sections. A primary partition can also be marked as the active partition. The operating system uses the active partition to boot the computer. Only one primary partition per disk can be marked as active. In most cases, the C: drive is the active partition and contains the boot and system files. Meaning the MBR or Master Boot Record Partition Table. Newer systems that use EFI instead of BIOS are using the GPT or GUID partition table. If you're using the GPT instead of the MBR partition table you can have more than four primary partitions on a disk. An extended partition. There can only be one extended partition per hard drive. Once again, primary partitions, active partitions and extended partitions are all part of a basic disk. An extended partition cannot hold the operating system, but it can be subdivided into smaller sections called logical drives.

  • Of File Systems and Storage Models
    Chapter 4 Of File Systems and Storage Models Disks are always full. It is futile to try to get more disk space. Data expands to fill any void. –Parkinson’sLawasappliedto disks 4.1 Introduction This chapter deals primarily with how we store data. Virtually all computer systems require some way to store data permanently; even so-called “diskless” systems do require access to certain files in order to boot, run and be useful. Albeit stored remotely (or in memory), these bits reside on some sort of storage system. Most frequently, data is stored on local hard disks, but over the last few years more and more of our files have moved “into the cloud”, where di↵erent providers o↵er easy access to large amounts of storage over the network. We have more and more computers depending on access to remote systems, shifting our traditional view of what constitutes a storage device. 74 CHAPTER 4. OF FILE SYSTEMS AND STORAGE MODELS 75 As system administrators, we are responsible for all kinds of devices: we build systems running entirely without local storage just as we maintain the massive enterprise storage arrays that enable decentralized data replication and archival. We manage large numbers of computers with their own hard drives, using a variety of technologies to maximize throughput before the data even gets onto a network. In order to be able to optimize our systems on this level, it is important for us to understand the principal concepts of how data is stored, the di↵erent storage models and disk interfaces.Itisimportanttobeawareofcertain physical properties of our storage media, and the impact they, as well as certain historic limitations, have on how we utilize disks.

This technical memorandum examines the basics surrounding computer forensic filesystem timelines and provides an enhanced approach to generating superior timelines for improved filesystem analysis and contextual awareness. Timelines are improved by polling multiple sources of information across the filesystem resulting in an approach that is surprisingly flexible and customizable. The timeline is further enhanced by incorporating key time-based metadata found across a disk image which, when taken as a whole, increases the forensic investigator’s understanding. Résumé ….....

Communications security. VI. Computer and network security. VII. Physical security. VIII. Cyber security best practices. Cyberattacks on State Databases Escalate By Jeffrey Stinson, Stateline.org McClatchy‐Tribune Information Services Oct. 02‐‐NASHVILLE, Tenn. ‐‐ State governments are facing a daily barrage of cyberattacks from increasingly sophisticated computer hackers. The hackers' rapidly changing tactics threaten the exposure of personal information of millions of citizens and can cost taxpayers millions of dollars to fix. "We see attacks on Texas' system to the tune of millions a month," said Karen Robinson, Texas' state chief information officer. Although breaches of Texas' state computers are rare, Robinson said, the risks are high. They can result in the theft of citizens' Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license numbers and even personal and business financial information. All states are facing a growing number of wide‐ranging, quickly evolving attacks, according to a new report released here Wednesday at the start of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and backed by the states. Despite the threat, the report found, state legislators often don't give their technology and security officials enough money to combat it, and states struggle to retain technologically savvy cybersecurity personnel. The report, from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers and the consulting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP, said the dangers of insufficient cybersecurity are high‐‐not only for citizens whose personal information can be compromised, but for taxpayers and the public's trust in government.
