What would be the primary reason for you to recommend a disk imaging tool?
- A disk imaging tool would check for CRC32s for internal self-checking and validation and have MD5 checksum
- Evidence le format will contain case data entered by the examiner and encrypted at the beginning of the evidence le
- A simple DOS copy will not include deleted les, le slack and other information
- There is no case for an imaging tool as it will use a closed, proprietary format that if compared to the original will not match up sector for sector
