FTK Imager failed to detect and acquire the hidden areas in the hard drive. FTK Imager encountered an unexpected error when creating the list of directories of the acquired data. However, all the data is still acquired accurately and correctly. 173
1.12 TC-03-DCO FTK Imager 2.9.0.1385 (Release Date: 8 th , Apr 2010) Test Case TC-03-DCO (FTK Imager 2.9.0.1385) Test & Case Summary: TC-03 Acquire a hard drive with hidden sectors to an image file Notes: DCO actived Assertion: AFR-01 The tool accesses the digital source with a supported access interface AFR-02 The tool acquires a digital source AFR-03 The tool operates in an execution environment AFR-04 The tool creates an image file of the digital source AFR-05 The tool acquires all the visible data sectors from the digital source AFR-06 The tool acquires all the hidden data sectors from the digital source Source Device: Drive Setup: Partition Table: AFR-07 All data sectors acquired from the digital source are acquired accurately. AIC-01 The data represented by an image file is the same as the data acquired by the tool AIC-02 The tool creates an image file according to the file format the user specified. AIC-05 If multi-file image creation and the image file size is selected, the tool creates a multi-file image except that one file may be smaller AIC-06 If the image file integrity check is selected, the tool shall report to the user the image file has not been changed if the image file has not been changed. AIC-07 If the image file integrity check is selected, the tool shall report to the user the AIC-08 ALOG- 01 ALOG- 02 ALOG- 03 image file has been changed if the image file has been changed. If the image file integrity check is selected, the tool shall report to the user the image file has been changed and the involved location if the image file has been changed. If the tool logs any information regarding to the acquisition, the information is accurately logged in the log file. The tool display correct information about the acquisition to the user. The information about the acquisition at least including following: device, start sector, end sector, type and number of errors encountered, and start time and end time of acquisition. The tool display correct information regarding to the acquisition to the user and the information displayed is consistent with the log file if the log file function is supported AHS-01 The tool reports to the user if any hidden sectors are found AHS-02 AHS-03 The tool reports to the user that digital source may contain hidden sector but undetected if the tool is unable to determine whether hidden sectors are present due to incompatible execution environment The tool reports to the user that hidden sectors will not be acquired if the tool is unable to acquire hidden sectors due to incompatible execution environment Drive Model: ST380817AS (80GB) Serial Number: 5MR18V18 Sector count: 156,301,487 Write blocker: N/A Source hashes MD5 checksum: 69fdef5d5de3a207bc2a04017c38c3fd SHA1 checksum: 9d768ab184ed9a172031f0f7b7f721f2bdf80b59 /dev/sdb: current max LBA: 94,863,827 /dev/sdb: native max LBA: 94,863,827 /dev/sdb: physical max LBA: 156,301,487 /dev/sdb: HPA not set /dev/sdb: DCO set from sector 94,863,828 to 156,301,487 Device Start End #sectors File System /dev/sdb1 63 41945714 41945652 NTFS /dev/sdb2 41945715 94863824 52918110 Ext3 174
