Abstract
In one example, a system comprises a digital forensic access device executing instructions to install an access agent on a target device and to replace the access agent with an extraction agent after the access agent locates and copies data in the target device into a data structure; and a computing device running an extraction server comprising instructions to store a copy of the data structure in storage and to remove the extraction agent from the target device.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a digital forensic access device executing instructions to install an access agent on a target device and to transform the access agent into an extraction agent by encrypting a portion of an executable code and related files of the access agent to remove any sensitive methods that limit exposure of the access agent to the target device, after the access agent locates and copies data in the target device into a data structure;
- and
- a computing device running an extraction server comprising instructions to store a copy of the data structure in storage and to remove the extraction agent from the target device.
A method comprising:
- installing, by a digital forensic access device, an access agent on a target device;
- gathering data, by the access agent from the target device, and storing the data in a data structure;
- transforming the access agent into an extraction agent, wherein transforming comprises encrypting a portion of an executable code and related files of the access agent to remove any sensitive methods that limit exposure of the access agent to the target device;
- disconnecting the target device from the digital forensic access device;
- connecting the target device to a computing device running an extraction server;
- and
- storing, by the extraction server, a copy of the data structure in storage.
