Create forensically sound bit-for-bit disk images using dd and dcfldd.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Acquiring Disk Image with dd and dcfldd

## When to Use
- When you need to create a forensic copy of a suspect drive for investigation
- During incident response when preserving volatile disk evidence before analysis
- When law enforcement or legal proceedings require a verified bit-for-bit copy
- Before performing any destructive analysis on a storage device
- When acquiring images from physical drives, USB devices, or memory cards

## Prerequisites
- Linux-based forensic workstation (SIFT, Kali, or any Linux distro)
- `dd` (pre-installed on all Linux systems) or `dcfldd` (enhanced forensic version)
- Write-blocker hardware or software write-blocking configured
- Destination drive with sufficient storage (larger than source)
- Root/sudo privileges on the forensic workstation
- SHA-256 or MD5 hashing utilities (`sha256sum`, `md5sum`)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Identify the Target Device and Enable Write Protection

```bash
# List all connected block devices to identify the target
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT,MODEL

# Verify the device details
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

# Enable software write-blocking (if no hardware blocker)
blockdev --setro /dev/sdb

# Verify read-only status

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andycungkrinx91/konoha/acquiring-disk-image-with-dd-and-dcfldd@sha256:1b2246182396593c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
