Thanks for the suggestions- iwas wondering about doing a copy for any evidence gathering that might be needed-does it always have to be done from another machine? Which is why I was wondering whether doing it via knoppix might be no good. -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Zdrojewski [mailto:en3py () itvc net] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 6:31 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: R: dd vs windows... Hi, I wonder what is the copy for. If you need a backup copy for disaster-like recovery you might want to consider ASR function available within the NtBackup utility. If you want to clone the machine, well, then you might consider sysprep utility or some 3rd party utility, since that each time you install a computer device you also need to generate a Security ID (SID) for that device, of course w/o touching the licensing issues (each time you want to install an OEM version of the OS you should consider using the OEM builder utilities or similar programs). Those are my 10cents :) Sincerely En3pY -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Murda Mcloud [mailto:murdamcloud () bigpond com] Inviato: lunedì 7 agosto 2006 5.42 A: security-basics () securityfocus com Oggetto: dd vs windows... Hi all, I have a windows xp machine that I want to take a binary image of. Can I boot into knoppix on this same machine and use it to dump the binary onto a dvd/cd? I'm guessing this would depend on whether I could get support for my dvd writer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
