Interesting discussion on crimes in the next chapter of Digital Evidence and Computer Crime. The motives for criminal behavior never change and the laws remain the same. Technologies just open up different avenues for carrying out these crimes. I had a rant all ready here about legislation, net neutrality and John McCain but I will save that for another day.
Enough with current events, on to the HPA disaster I've created! It's funny how quickly the rust appears when you haven't used Linux in a while. Ignorance is bliss in the Windows/Apple world, but I digress. I've installed debian on a junky laptop from work, then needed to resize and create a new partition. The rust is already showing as this should have been taken care of during the initial install. The process took me way longer than it needed to and still may need to be fixed. My next step is using a little script to mark the partition as HPA space, drop data in it, cover it with some dirt and we're done! The only problem is now I am receiving a boot error:
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [ipw2200/0:1415]
So, I'll see what I can do otherwise another fresh install may be in order. Which, may not be a bad thing. Did I mention that this was a junky laptop?
Unfortunately, along the way I read the last chapter of the book first. By that I mean that I spoiled the ending by reading about Sleuth Kit. I am attempting to see if hiding data in HPA designated space can be found using different forensic tools. Apparently, Sleuth Kit has no problem finding such data. Now, if I can only get to the point where I can hide the data then I will attempt to find it again.
Again, to be continued...
