  • De-Anonymizing Live Cds Through Physical Memory Analysis
    De-Anonymizing Live CDs through Physical Memory Analysis Andrew Case [email protected] Digital Forensics Solutions Abstract Traditional digital forensics encompasses the examination of data from an offline or “dead” source such as a disk image. Since the filesystem is intact on these images, a number of forensics techniques are available for analysis such as file and metadata examination, timelining, deleted file recovery, indexing, and searching. Live CDs present a serious problem for this investigative model, however, since the OS and applications execute in a RAM-only environment and do not save data on non-volatile storage devices such as the local disk. In order to solve this problem, we present a number of techniques that support complete recovery of a live CD’s in-memory filesystem and partial recovery of its deleted contents. We also present memory analysis of the popular Tor application, since it is used by a number of live CDs in an attempt to keep network communications encrypted and anonymous. 1 Introduction Traditional digital forensics encompasses the examination of data from an offline or “dead” source such as a disk image. Under normal circumstances, evidence is obtained by first creating an exact, bit-for-bit copy of the target disk, followed by hashing of both the target disk and the new copy. If these hashes match then it is known that an exact copy has been made, and the hash is recorded to later prove that evidence was not modified during the investigation. Besides satisfying legal requirements, obtaining a bit-for-bit copy of data provides investigators with a wealth of information to examine and makes available a number of forensics techniques.

The main commercial support (and development funding) is available from Canonical, Ltd. They supply reasonably- priced support contracts on a per desktop or per server basis. For more information see the Ubuntu Advantage page. Community support is also provided by dedicated individuals and companies that wish to make Ubuntu the best distribution possible. Support is provided through multiple mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, blogs, wikis, etc. The large amount of information available can be overwhelming, but a good search engine query can usually provide an answer to your questions. See the Ubuntu Support page for more information. Installation This chapter provides a quick overview of installing Ubuntu 20.04 Server Edition.

  • Hardware-Driven Evolution in Storage Software by Zev Weiss A
    Hardware-Driven Evolution in Storage Software by Zev Weiss A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Sciences) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2018 Date of final oral examination: June 8, 2018 ii The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau, Professor, Computer Sciences Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau, Professor, Computer Sciences Michael M. Swift, Professor, Computer Sciences Karthikeyan Sankaralingam, Professor, Computer Sciences Johannes Wallmann, Associate Professor, Mead Witter School of Music i © Copyright by Zev Weiss 2018 All Rights Reserved ii To my parents, for their endless support, and my cousin Charlie, one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. iii Acknowledgments I have taken what might be politely called a “scenic route” of sorts through grad school. While Ph.D. students more focused on a rapid graduation turnaround time might find this regrettable, I am glad to have done so, in part because it has afforded me the opportunities to meet and work with so many excellent people along the way. I owe debts of gratitude to a large cast of characters: To my advisors, Andrea and Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau. It is one of the most common pieces of wisdom imparted on incoming grad students that one’s relationship with one’s advisor (or advisors) is perhaps the single most important factor in whether these years of your life will be pleasant or unpleasant, and I feel exceptionally fortunate to have ended up iv with the advisors that I’ve had.

  • Download Android Os for Phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives to Android
    download android os for phone Open Source Mobile OS Alternatives To Android. It’s no exaggeration to say that open source operating systems rule the world of mobile devices. Android is still an open-source project, after all. But, due to the bundle of proprietary software that comes along with Android on consumer devices, many people don’t consider it an open source operating system. So, what are the alternatives to Android? iOS? Maybe, but I am primarily interested in open-source alternatives to Android. I am going to list not one, not two, but several alternatives, Linux-based mobile OSes . Top Open Source alternatives to Android (and iOS) Let’s see what open source mobile operating systems are available. Just to mention, the list is not in any hierarchical or chronological order . 1. Plasma Mobile. A few years back, KDE announced its open source mobile OS, Plasma Mobile. Plasma Mobile is the mobile version of the desktop Plasma user interface, and aims to provide convergence for KDE users. It is being actively developed, and you can even find PinePhone running on Manjaro ARM while using KDE Plasma Mobile UI if you want to get your hands on a smartphone. 2. postmarketOS. PostmarketOS (pmOS for short) is a touch-optimized, pre-configured Alpine Linux with its own packages, which can be installed on smartphones. The idea is to enable a 10-year life cycle for smartphones. You probably already know that, after a few years, Android and iOS stop providing updates for older smartphones. At the same time, you can run Linux on older computers easily.
