Tech Podcast: Building a Portable Workstation for Digital Forensics
In our latest podcast we discuss the performance of forensic analysis tools and whether custom-built systems are better suited to digital forensics than off-the-shelf computer systems.
In this podcast one of our summer interns at Cernam, Kevin McGlone of Waterford Institute of Technology, discusses a recent project to spec and build a set of custom systems for bulk forensic processing.
Anyone interested in building a similar system might find the following component list useful:
- 1 * Shuttle XPC SX58H7 Pro
- 1 * Intel Core i7 970 / 3.2 GHz processor
- 4 * Kingston HyperX blu memory
- 1 * eVGA GeForce 210
- 3 * WD VelociRaptor WD4500HLHX
