Personally, I think I would wipe it clean off. That's not something I'd like to ever mess with or run afoul of. But there may be value in forensically examining the files or the victims, so it might be best to report the incident and turn over evidence. This might make a good opportunity to introduce yourself to your local field office. :) Maybe someone in a local Infragard chapter can put you in touch with someone cyber-friendly at the local office? By the way, Adrian, excellent question! On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 8:49 PM, Adrian Crenshaw <irongeek at irongeek.com>wrote:
While doing research on anonymizing networks, what is the best policy to follow concerning inadvertently captured contraband (child porn, copyright infringing files, etc.)? In the case of child porn, the authorities should be notified under normal circumstances, but with anonymizing networks the origin of the files is hard if not impossible to determine. Would it be correct to just wipe the data after research on the network is done? As I understand it, even having it on your hard drive because of peripherally relevant research would be a crime.
