CAINE 0.5 is not forensically sound Empty CAINE 0.5 is not forensically sound

Post  forensics Mon Oct 12, 2009 5:58 pm

CAINE 0.5 recovers Ext3 file systems during the boot process and thus modifies the data on suspect media (including at least one important file system timestamp: "Last Write Time"); the screenshot is attached. The "bug" is in initrd casper scripts that perform unsafe fake read-only mounts of several file system types. The patch for scripts/casper-helpers function get_fstype():

Code:
get_fstype() {
    local FSTYPE
    local FSSIZE
    eval $(fstype < $1)
 
    # Fix: do not allow journal recovery on Ext3
    if [ "$FSTYPE" = "ext3" ]; then
        echo "ext2"
        return 0
    fi
 
    # Fix: do not allow journal recovery on Ext4
    if [ "$FSTYPE" = "ext4" ]; then
        echo "ext2"
        return 0
    fi
 
    if [ "$FSTYPE" != "unknown" ]; then
        echo $FSTYPE
        return 0
    fi
    /lib/udev/vol_id -t $1 2>/dev/null
 }

This will force all possible Ext3/4 mounts during the boot to disable all journal recovery actions.

CAINE 0.5 is not forensically sound Cainef10

CAINE also uses "proved-to-be-unsafe" mount policy that relies on file system options to perform "forensically safe" mounts. For example, CAINE will write the data to file systems like ReiserFS or XFS even with "ro" and "norecovery" (XFS) / "nolog" (ReiserFS) options specified. It also uses very buggy scanpartitions script that will ignore block devices like /dev/sdad1 and they will not appear in /etc/fstab with proper "forensic" options.

Mount the Ext3 file system r/w on some Linux system and then reboot into CAINE without unmounting it.

We are testing...but from the first results, it seems that the problem is nonexistent, because the hash codes are equals...we are testing also using others Live Forensics Distro.

Just for updating you ;-)

Very interesting Very Happy when do you check the hash codes? Did you check dmesg to see that Ext3 was corrupted "correctly"? Do you conduct tests on HDD or USB Flash? Do you use installed CAINE or a Live CD?

we are testing also using others Live Forensics Distro.

The problem exists in all Ubuntu based forensic Live CDs like DEFT Linux, Helix3 (and Pro too), SMART Linux, BackTrack 4 Pre Release and FCCU GNU/Linux and all other distros that use Casper for booting (except grml that sets all block devices RO before mounting).

We made a test on an USB Ext3 device, now I'm testing on an Hard Disk...when we'll finish we'll publish our results...we hope that will not be problems Surprised

CAINE 0.5 is not forensically sound Empty Re: CAINE 0.5 is not forensically sound

Post  nannib Sat Oct 17, 2009 2:17 pm

So these are some of our test:
1) We mounted, in RW mode, an USB ext3 device (previously hashed), we shoutdown the system
without unmounting the ext3 device (powering off unplugging the computer),
then we boot the system by the Live Caine Distro and we saw the messages you
indicated, after the boot the hash it's equal to the first hash of the
ext3 device.

2) We boot Caine Live on a workstation with 2 HDs Ext3 and on /dev/sda there is a Kubuntu 8.04 installed. Then no Hd has been mounted.
We hash the /dev/sda

We mounted only /dev/sda1 in RO (Read Only) and this is the output:
62dc038a11123ffd90d085bbe65e34a9 /dev/sda
We reboot the PC, by the reset button of the case (no shutting down procedure), then re-boot always using Caine and re-hash the device:
62dc038a11123ffd90d085bbe65e34a9 /dev/sda
So after and before the Read Only mounting the 2 hashes are equals.

3) We mount /dev/sda in RW (Read Write) we hash it:
2e1f0dc99757a6663f224c403540af08 /dev/sda
We reboot the PC, by the reset button of the case (no shutting down procedure), then re-boot always using Caine and re-hash the device:
2e1f0dc99757a6663f224c403540af08 /dev/sda
So after and before the Read and Write mounting the 2 hashes are equals.

We are reviewing again our tests...currently they seem correct...
Have you any suggestion for us?
Thanks a lot

Does dmesg shows that FS was recovered? Does fsstat (TSK) shows "recovery needed" flag after you boot into CAINE? I have conducted many tests on real hardware and in VirtualBox and CAINE always recovers and changes Ext3 file systems on HDDs.

"md5sum" for Ext3 FS after cold reboot with mounted Ext3 FS to forensically sound Live CD (RIPLinux):

6621614df4acf6c5ac3d1aea218d1698 /dev/hda1

and "file -s" output:

/dev/hda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data, UUID=54d98d70-a4a3-4f8a-96b7-4dd3d20f7a43 (needs journal recovery)

Then I boot CAINE Live CD and rebooted again to RIPLinux:

e5da66391840d0ffcedaaef970c40e7b /dev/hda1

and "file -s" output:

/dev/hda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data, UUID=54d98d70-a4a3-4f8a-96b7-4dd3d20f7a43

Test on usb drive are mine.
I made it on Caine v.0.5, Helix 2008 R1, Deft v.4.2. Fccu v.12.1, all from live-cd.
This is the way used in first test session:
1- boot of system
2- connect usb drive with ext3 file system
3- mount usb drive in rw
4- write file on file system
5- umount drive
6- mount usb drive in rw
7- **pull out usb drive without umount it**
8- clean mount point
9- connect usb-drive without mount and without run cfsk
10- calculate md5
11- pull out usb-drive
12- shutdown system
13- connect usb drive
14- rebbot system with usb drive connected
15- check kernel logs that show whath you reported
16- calculated md5 on usb drive not mounted
17- md5 doesn't change

This is the way used in second test session **using a laptop without battery**:
1- boot of system
2- connect usb drive with ext3 file system
3- mount usb drive in rw
4- write file on file system
5- umount drive
6- mount usb drive in rw
7- ** shutdown system pulling out power cable **
8- extract usb drive
9- rebbot system
10- connect usb-drive without mount and without run cfsk
11- calculate md5
12- pull out usb-drive
13- shutdown system
14- connect usb drive
15- rebbot system with usb drive connected
16- check kernel logs that show whath you reported
17- calculated md5 on usb drive not mounted
18- md5 doesn't change

tests made on 3 Ububtu derived live-cd and 1 debian sidux don't show alteration on md5 of device with ext3 fs, it seems that systems don't upadte journal of ext3 fs, no change seem occours.




could you suggest another kind of test?

Don't make tests with USB Flash drives, instead use HDDs.

PS. When testing Helix3 I noticed that installed system do not use Capser, so they don't have this bug.

So in which way can I corrupt the file system?

I'm doing the same as you described. Just check that after mounting the Ext3 r/w you have "Need recovery" flag set (ext3 sets this flag when mounting as R/W and removes it when unmounting).

I'm remastering the distro applying the patches suggested, new mount policies and the casper patch...so maybe we'll be the only one distro, Ubuntu based, to be really forensically sound Wink
Many thanks to Forensics from Russia Smile
