Dedicated to the branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. This field involves the application of several information security principles and aims to provide for attribution and event reconstruction following forth from audit processes. This subreddit is not limited to just personal computers and encompasses all media that may also fall under digital forensics (e.g., cellphones, video, etc.).
This isn't a question about forensics but it is about hardware write blockers, so I didn't know where else to ask.
I'm looking for a way of safely connecting USB devices to potential infected PCs, and then being able to safely connect the USB device to my own computer for reading and writing to. This includes a way of booting a suspect system from the USB stick. So I have a couple of odd questions.
Is it possible to run a virus scan on a USB stick connected to a Tableau USB write blocker (assuming the scan is read-only)?
Is it possible to boot a PC from a USB stick that is connected to a Tableau USB write blocker?
Thank you.
