ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

During a digital forensics investigation into a server suspected of hosting illicit materials, an investigator needs to collect evidence from the primary storage drive. To best ensure the collected data's integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings, which of the following actions should be performed?

  • Boot the server using a forensic live CD and copy all user-generated files to an external drive.

  • Remove the drive from the server and connect it to a forensic workstation to run a data recovery tool.

  • Create a bit-for-bit copy of the original drive onto sterile media and calculate cryptographic hashes of both.

  • Document the system time from the BIOS and take photographs of the running processes on the screen.
