REMLOX
REMLOX® is a unique, patent pending, forensic self-collection tool developed by HSSK Forensics, a Houston, Texas based computer forensics firm. It is designed to allow custodians to defensibly “self-collect” a complete sector-by-sector forensic image of their laptop or workstation computers’ hard drive.
How REMLOX® Works
10 step process for custodians...
1. Receive package from courier, - open, read instructions at custodian’s leisure
2. Attach encrypted external USB hard drive to laptop/desktop
3. The Remlox tool automatically starts
4. Custodian inputs name and email address for identification purposes
5. The Remlox® imaging process commences, using verified DD imaging technology
6. Imaging completes after full hard drive image is created from workstation to external encrypted USB hard drive
7. Disconnect USB drive
8. Complete Chain of Custody form
9. Return USB to box and place in preaddressed courier box (provided), along with completed Chain of Custody documentation
10. Drop couriers box into nearest drop box
Acceptance by the Computer Forensics Industry
In 2009, REMLOX® was offically released for use in litigation and forensic matters. In June of 2009, it was reported that REMLOX® was successfully used on a forensic acquisition in Africa, Central America, Europe, and the United States.
"The use of REMLOX® allowed the firm to remotely acquire forensic images of hard drives
located throughout Nigeria, Costa Rica, England and various locations in the United
States. Before REMLOX®, such sector-by-sector forensic imaging required onsite collection."
- David Greetham, Managing Director of Computer Forensics, HSSK Forensics
By early 2010, the software was already being cited by attorneys and industry leaders as "another interesting device" , having been grouped with industry standard tools such as FTK Imager by Access Data.
Greg Buckles of eDiscovery Journal cited REMLOX® as a "good example" of the "new crop of plug-n-play tools...designed to allow a non-certified user to acquire image onto an external hard drive...and ship it back.
