Verifying Damaged Target Images with Segmented Hashing
Last November Atola Technology team presented a new hashing method called Segmented hashing. Unlike the conventional linear hashing, segmented hashing produces not a single hash, but a list of hashes of corresponding LBA ranges of the image saved into a CSV file in this format: Hash, start LBA, end LBA By validating all hashes in the list, you can prove that the entire image has not been modified. For more information about this hashing method, please follow this link: Segmented Hashing. While this method of hashing has a number of benefits for forensic specialists, among its strongest advantages is its applicability to damaged drives. For one, this non-linear hashing method allows calculating hashes Read more…
