Of the following pieces of digital evidence, which would be collected FIRST from a live system involved in an incident?
Best practices suggest that live response should follow the order of volatility, which means that you want to collect data which is changing the most rapidly. The order of volatility is:
Memory
Swap or page file
Network status and current / recent network connections
Running processes
Open files
Which type of media should the IR team be handling as they seek to understand the root cause of an incident?
By imaging the media with tools such as dd or Ghost and analyzing the copy, you preserve the original media for later analysis so that the results can be recreated by another competent examiner if necessary.
At the start of an investigation on a Windows system, the lead handler executes the following commands after inserting a USB drive. What is the purpose of this command? C:\ >dir / s / a dhsra d: \ > a: \ IRCD.txt
This command will create a text file on the collection media (in this case you would probably be using a USB flash drive) named IRCD.txt that should contain a recursive directory listing of all files on the desk.
What feature of Wireshark allows the analysis of one HTTP conversation?
Follow TCP Stream is a feature of Wireshark that allows the analysis of a single TCP conversation between two hosts over multiple packets. Filtering packets using tcp in the filter box will return all TCP packets, not grouping by a single TCP conversation. HTTP is TCP not UDP, so you cannot follow a HTTP stream over UDP.
