West Caldwell, N.J.-based Ricoh Americas Corp. has intorduced Remlox 4.1, the latest iteration of its remote forensic collection tool, developed by Houston-based HSSK Forensics, Inc., which Ricoh acquired in January. The upgrade addresses increased sophistication in full-disk encryption software that has complicated remote collection on enterprise workstations and laptops.
“Some of the manufacturers of FDE have modified their software so that the encryption now sits above the physical layer, but below the volume layer,” says David A. Greetham, national director of forensic services at HSSK. “If we collected at the physical level with the newer advanced FDE installed, we would just end up with an image that was encrypted and therefore unusable without obtaining sensitive decryption codes.” Instead, the new version of Remlox has the option to collect hard disk data at the volume level, as well as the physical, helping users acquire data in an unencrypted state from hard drives with more advanced full-disk encryption.
