Introduction
1.2.3.Ben Longstaff appeared for Mr Penhallurick, Michael Conway for MD5. VFC 4. Agencies, typically the police, may wish to analyse the contents stored on a computer without, by the act of searching, corrupting or otherwise altering the files and thereby compromising a prosecution. Mr Penhallurick worked on a method of retrieving an image of the hard disk without writing on it, then booting up the image on a virtual machine so that the image can be investigated. Mr Penhallurick used a freely available product called VM Software to set up the replica of the target computer’s hardware and operating system. Computer programs generally have inbuilt safeguards to prevent them from being manipulated in this way, so part of Mr Penhallurick’s method involved a password bypass feature he developed.
