Which type of media should the IR team be handling as they seek to understand the root cause of an incident?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

By imaging the media with tools such as dd or Ghost and analyzing the copy, you preserve the original media for later analysis so that the results can be recreated by another competent examiner if necessary.

D is definitely the standard for IR investigations.

A full backup might miss some key details, though.

I disagree, C is more reliable since it's original media.

Gotta go with D, bit-for-bit image is the best for analysis.

I vaguely recall something about backups being less reliable for root cause analysis. So, is the restored media really the best choice?

I feel like the media from the infected host copied to a dedicated IR host could be useful too. It might help isolate the analysis from other systems.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where a bit-for-bit image was preferred for analysis. Maybe that's the best option here?

I think we should be looking at the original media from the infected host, right? It seems like the most direct evidence.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to install something to run containers, but I'm not sure if it's Hyper-V or the Windows Subsystem for Linux. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, option B looks the most straightforward to me. Transferring the Normal Servers directly from EAST-IS to NY-NS seems like the least disruptive approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll analyze each option and see which ones follow the rules laid out in the image.

I lean towards 8, but I can't recall if that was for all setups or just specific ones with enough GPU power.

I vaguely remember the Workset tool being part of the Modify tab in a similar practice question. Could it be that?
