An investigator would like to take a forensic "image" a suspect's hard disk drive. What is the primary goal in obtaining data from a HDD? What tools can the investigator use to achieve this goal?
What will be an ideal response?

A Message Digest 5 (MD5)/Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) takes a "fingerprint" of a hard disk drive (HDD) before and after forensic imaging. A forensic computer examiner would run such an algorithm to demonstrate that the forensic image recovered is all-inclusive of the original contents and that nothing was altered in the process.
