  • Anti-Forensics: the Rootkit Connection for Black Hat USA 2009
    [Black Hat USA 2009] Anti-Forensics: The Rootkit Connection Black Hat USA 2009 Conference Proceedings Anti-Forensics: The Rootkit Connection Bill Blunden Principal Investigator Below Gotham Labs www.belowgotham.com Abstract Conventional rootkits tend to focus on defeating forensic live incident response and network monitoring using a variety of concealment strategies (e.g. hooking, detour patching, covert channels, peer-to-peer communication, etc.). However, the technology required to survive a post-mortem analysis of secondary storage, which is just as vital in the grand scheme of things, recently doesn’t seem to have garnered the same degree of coverage. In this paper, we’ll examine different approaches to persisting a rootkit and the associated anti-forensic tactics that can be employed to thwart an investigator who’s performing an autopsy of a disk image. 1 | Below Gotham Labs [Black Hat USA 2009] Anti-Forensics: The Rootkit Connection Contents Introduction 4 Post-Mortem Dance Steps 5 Worst-Case Scenario 6 Strategies for the Worst Case 7 Disk Analysis: Tactics and Countermeasures 9 Defense in Depth 9 Forensic Duplication 10 Reserved Disk Regions 10 Recovering File System Objects 10 Full Disk Encryption 10 File System Attacks 11 File concealment 11 Out-of-Band Concealment 11 In-Band Concealment 13 Application Layer Concealment 15 Recovering Deleted Files 16 File Wiping 16 Meta-Data Shredding 17 Encryption 17 Key Management 17 Collecting File Meta Data 18 Altering Checksums 18 Modifying Timestamps 19 Identifying Known Files 20 Injecting

  • Forensically Sound Data Acquisition in the Age of Anti-Forensic Innocence
    Forensically Sound Data Acquisition in the Age of Anti-Forensic Innocence Forensisch korrekte Datensicherung im Zeitalter anti-forensischer Arglosigkeit Der Technischen Fakultät der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades Dr.-Ing. vorgelegt von Michael Gruhn aus Bad Windsheim Als Dissertation genehmigt von der Technischen Fakultät der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 2016-11-24 Vorsitzender des Promotionsorgans: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Lerch Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Felix Freiling Prof. Dr. Zeno Geradts Abstract In this thesis, we tackle anti-forensic and rootkit problems in digital forensics. An anti-forensic technique is any measure that prevents a forensic analysis or reduces its quality. First, we investigate the anti-forensic threat of hard drive firmware rootkits, which can prevent a forensic analyst from acquiring data from the hard drive, thus jeopardizing the forensic analysis. To this end, we first outline the threat of hard drive firmware rootkits. We then provide a procedure to detect and subvert already published hard disk drive firmware bootkits. We further outline potential avenues to detect hard drive firmware rootkits nested deeper within the hard disk drive’s so-called Service Area, a special storage on the magnetic platter reserved for use by the firmware. After addressing the acquisition of persistent data storage in form of hard disk drives, we shift towards acquisition and later analysis of volatile storage, in the form of RAM. To this end, we first evaluate the atomicity and integrity as well as anti-forensic resistance of different memory acquisition techniques with our novel black-box analysis technique.
