Using Linux to carry out a forensics investigation, what would the following command accomplish? dd if=/usr/home/partition.image of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror
The command dd if=/usr/home/partition.image of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror would:
D. Restore a disk from an image file12.
Here’s a breakdown of the command:
if=/usr/home/partition.image: Specifies the input file, which is the image file.
of=/dev/sdb2: Specifies the output file, which is the target disk or partition.
bs=4096: Sets the block size to 4096 bytes.
conv=notrunc,noerror: Ensures that the output file is not truncated and continues operation even if errors are encountered.
This command copies the contents of the image file to the specified disk or partition, effectively restoring it.
Would you like to know more about using dd for forensics or any other Linux commands?
The correct answer is D. Restore a disk from an image file.
The command dd if=/usr/home/partition.image of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror is used to restore a disk from an image file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
dd: a command that converts and copies data
if: input file (the image file)
of: output file (the target disk, /dev/sdb2 in this case)
bs: block size (set to 4096 bytes)
conv: conversion options (set to notrunc and noerror)
The command will copy the contents of the image file (partition.image) to the disk (/dev/sdb2), restoring the disk from the image file.
D: Restore a disk partition from an image file
