What F.R.E.D. is:
FRED is our (F)orensic (R)ecovery of (E)vidence (D)evice. FRED is a
highly integrated platform which may be used both for the acquisition and analysis of computer based evidence. In fact,
given the modularity of the unit, FRED can even operate as a standard PC Platform when not in use for forensic acquisition
or processing. FRED is available in stationary, mobile, or combined configurations.
What F.R.E.D. does:
Whether you roll FRED directly into a crime scene or use it in the lab to
acquire data from seized equipment, all you have to do is remove the hard drive(s) from the suspect equipment and plug them
into FRED to acquire data. FRED will acquire data directly from IDE/EIDE/ATA/ATAPI/SCSI I/SCSI II/SCSI III hard drives
and devices. will also acquire data from 3-1/2 and 5-1/4 inch floppies, 100 Mb or 250 Mb ZIP cartridges, CD-ROM, and
DVD-ROM media.. This unit also has the added capability of being able to process information on PC Cards, Compact Flash
Media, and Smart Media found in many of today's digital imaging devices. Furthermore, the PC Card, Compact Flash, and
SmartMedia capabilities are available directly from the standalone DOS prompt if desired (no need to load the GUI!).
FRED also includes an integrated SCSIBlock hardware write-protected imaging bay for IDE hard drives. FRED has custom
front panel connections and removable trays to acquire data from all these devices. You won't have to open up your processing
platform to install drives or crawl around the back of your unit to attach devices. No more worrying about the functionality,
capability, or configuration of parallel devices on suspect equipment to hook up external tape drives. No worries
about installing a SCSI adapter in a suspect computer to acquire data at speeds faster than parallel ports allow.
FRED comes with two high capacity hard drives in shock-mounted removable
hard drive trays. One of these drives can be used as your forensic acquisition and processing system. One boot
menu option on your primary drive might be configured to boot FRED into data acquisition mode with full SCSI support and a
hard drive write blocker automatically loaded. Another boot option could be configured to place FRED in data analysis
mode with full access to your online tools. The second hard drive can be used as work space for restoring suspect information.
Both hard drives are supplied in removable trays with front panel switches for master/slave configuration.
FRED also has built in Video Capture capability to acquire video or still
image documentation of the crime scene (suspect equipment, cabling, and workspace placement and organization). FRED
can be used to generate video output of evidentiary information such as images and/or documents directly to VCR tape for simplified
presentation.
FRED has the ability to be connected directly to a 10Mb or 100Mb ethernet
network for use as a standard workstation when not processing or acquiring data. With the addition of Network Analysis
software (Packet Analyzer), FRED can even be used to monitor network traffic and communications at the crime scene.
Baseline F.R.E.D. Specifications:
ATX Full Tower Case (6 ext 5-1/4, 3 ext 3-1/2, 320 Watt P/S): Plenty
of room for multiple auxiliary devices
ASUS Pentium IV Motherboard: Intel 850 chipset. Full DMA 33/66/100
support for the fastest of IDE hard drives. Built in support for IDE Drives greater than 137 Gb (no additional controller/software
required!). Integrated audio controller for listening to WAV files and other audio services.
Intel Pentium IV, 1.8 Ghz: Best Price/Performance of all Pentium IV
processors.
1 GB RAMBUS Memory: Plenty of memory for even the hungriest application.
Fastest of all memory configurations. Even faster than DDR SDRAM!
SCSI Controller: Adaptec SCSI controller provides SCSI 1/2/3 (narrow,
wide, ultra, and ultra 160) support.
2 Port FireWire / 3 Port USB 2.0 Combo Controller: This controller
can be used to attach any IEEE 1394, USB 2.0, and/or USB 1.X compliant devices to the system. This not only includes
standard FireWire storage devices and video sources, but also our FIREBLOCK IDE Hardware Write Protect Device!
Two 80 Gb Ultra ATA-100 IDE Hard Drives in Shock-Mounted Drive Trays:
Lots of disk space! Use one for your forensic tools and operating system(s), use the other for work space to analyze
and process restored forensic images. Both drives are in shock-mounted removable trays! Each drive has an external
master/slave switch to maximize flexibility.
Combination DVD+RW/CD-RW Drive: Yes - This drive writes DVD's (4.7
GB) that can be read in any standard DVD drive (unlike DVD-RAM solutions)! This drive also writes CDR and CDRW
media. Read/Process/Image CD-ROM and DVD media. Complete with software MPEG decoder. Record critical
evidentiary materials and summary case information to DVD or CD-ROM for simplified dissemination and long-term storage.
All DVD and CD-RW capabilities with a single drive!
Integrated SCSIBlock Bay: Provides full hardware write
protection for imaging IDE drives. The removable drive bay is fully compatible with all of our removable drive bay devices
(including the imaging shelf). This device is also fully accessible from MS-DOS (unlike USB and FireWire imaging devices).
PC Card, SmartMedia, and Compact Flash Media Combo Reader: Use this
single, integrated device to read PC Cards, SmartMedia, and Compact Flash Media found in many of todays digital imaging devices
and cameras. Note that the services of this device are even available when booted to the Standalone DOS prompt and do
not require the services of a Windows GUI!
Six Removable Hard Drive Racks: One for each hard drive (2), one for
the one for the 250Mb Zip drive, one for the SCSIBlock Bay, one spare empty rack, and one rack with external work surface
for imaging 5-1/4 inch IDE or internal SCSI 1/2/3 drives.
Lightning Fast Nvidia GeForce 4 AGP Video Card w/Video Capture, Video Out,
Digital Video Interface (DVI), and dual monitor support (128 Mb): Use with the still video camera (included below) to
capture digital still or full motion images to document the suspect workspace in the field. Record images of workstation,
documentation, and/or cable management on suspect equipment at the scene. Use the video out capability to record evidentiary
materials (images, documents, spreadsheets) directly to VCR tape for simplified presentation. Dual monitor support can be
used to simultaneously display a software interface in one screen while viewing file contents/information on the other.
10/100 Mbs Network Adapter: 10/100 Mbs LAN adapter for connection to a forensic
or Local Area Network.
