Live View - raw disk to VMWare image

I dabble a bit in the forensics world. Today I came across a wonderfully useful tool. Live View is a java based tool that converts raw disk images a la dd into VMWare compatible images. Messed around with it a bit tonite, and it seems to work exceptionally well.

Commentary...and More Security Related Humour

I have been out of Internet communication for the last couple of weeks. It has been nice. In the wake of the most recent round of security stupidity surrounding last week's terrorism arrests some people were asking my opinion. I have a couple of comments on this. The first being that it frightens me that some people care about my opinion, the second comment being that my opinion is obvious from past posts. Total and complete waste of resources. Security Theater designed to placate an uninformed public looking for decisiveness from their elected representatives. As I have said before...anything that futher inconveniences the travellers of the world means the terrorists have won another victory.

Fortunately, Bruce Schneier and others with much bigger reading audiences than me adequately filled in in my absence. (-8

David Malki has summarized my thoughts very adequately in this biting cartoon.
