Every Rocket makes it simple for remote custodians by running a pre-configured collection on the endpoints, so the custodian never has to worry about setup or controls.
Custodians Features:
- Pause and resume the data collection for up to 8 hours without requiring a restart.
- If the internet connection breaks Rocket will retry automatically until it reconnects and will pick up the imaging where it left off
- Rocket runs in memory, so there's no disk writes or software installs required.
What does Rocket do on the computer endpoints?
AWS S3 Storage is Included With Every Data Collection
Preserving Data
- Sends a email request to the endpoint that contains the links for Rocket data collection and speed test.
- From AWS cloud, Rocket runs a pre-selected data collection task on the endpoint, in memory.
- Generates E01 files or 7zip files - both are forensically sound and maintain the folder, file structure and meta data.
Data Transfer
As the froensic images are being created in memory, Rocket is transferring them directly to the pre-selected storage destination
Profiling / Reporting
- Profiles the BIOS, OS, local time, time zone, network information and more.
- Inventories all connected hard drives including make, manufacturer, model, capacity and boot order number.
- Recovers the bit-locker key.
Verification / Reporting
- File and folder preservation confirmation with hash values
- Forensic image verification
- An audit log trail is created for all actions
Why the Drop & Send data preservations for computers are so popular with law firms and custodians
Rocket sends a forensic transport window to the remote endpoint. Loose files and folders can be dragged and dropped into the window, where the data is auto-preserved and transferred to the pre-selected S3 destination.
