TTM2 Demo of Sleuthkit using disk.dd

What are we working with?

List the partitions on the disk

$ mmls disk.dd

Look in the unallocated partitions

$ mmcat disk.dd 01 | strings
$ mmcat disk.dd 03 | strings

Partition 02 starts at sector 0000002048 and is described as Linux (0x83)

Extract the main partition to a body file

Lets extract the allocated partition so that we can work on it without having to type the offset all the time. WARNING This takes a long time

$ dd if=disk.dd of=body.dd bs=512 skip=2048 count=6834176

• if is the input file
• of is the output file
• bs is the input and output block size
• skip denotes number of sector skipped
• count denotes number of sector to copy

Get the NSRL known software hashes

WARNING I can't get this to work First download the NSRL database

$ wget http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/voting/20140608/NSRLFile.txt

If you are on OS X mavericks+, and don't have wget, you can download the file using

$ curl "http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/voting/20140608/NSRLFile.txt" -o "NSRLFile.txt"

Then index the database for MD5 (see -n nsrl_db in man sorter and man hfind)

$ hfind -i nsrl-md5 NSRLFile.txt 

Find files with on the drive

First lets start the search from the home directory, so we need to find the meta addr of this directory:

$ fls disk.dd -o 2048

We get that 585: home meaning that the meta addr we want is 585. Lets look at the different users home directories:

$ fls disk.dd -o 2048 585
d/d 4610:   void

We see that the only user is void. Lets see what he has in his home directory /home/void/

$ fls -o 2048 disk.dd 4610
...
d/d 38225:  .hacking
...

Whoa! Lets search for files in this directory with an extension missmatch.

$ mkdir sorter_output
$ sorter -e -n NSRLFile.txt -o 2048 -d sorter_output disk.dd 38225 2> /dev/null

• -e - look for files with an extention missmatch
• -n NSRLFILE.txt - ignore known software
• -o 2048 - the disk partition offset we learned form mmls
• -d sorter_output - the directory to store the generated report
• disk.dd 38225 - search in this disk image at the meta directory representing .hacking

Ok, so now we have the inode for the file, if we look in sorter_output/mismatch.txt

D4_06_this_is_weird.pdf
  empty (Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract)  (Ext: pdf)
  Image: disk.dd  Inode: 38611
  MD5: a495b7b6b126c09db019bd2c84908f97

We can use the inode to print the contents of the file with icat

$ icat -o 2048 disk.dd 38611 > file.zip

And to extract the data, we can simply do the following

$ unzip file.zip -d file

Oups!*, we require a password. Luckily we found one with cat mmcat disk.dd 02
