(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) (RAID) (FORENSICS) (Part 1)
=======================================
RAID စနစ္ကုိ data မ်ားပ်က္စီးျခင္းမွကာကြယ္ႏုိင္ရန္နဲ႕ Performance ေကာင္းေစဖုိ႕ အတြက္ အဓိက ထားၿပီးအသုံးၿပဳၾကပါတယ္။ ကုိယ္လုပ္ကိုင္ေနတဲ့ အဖြဲ႕ အစည္း အသုံးၿပဳတဲ့ Data ေတြေပၚမူတည္ၿပီး Raid Level ေတြကုိ သတ္မွတ္ အသုံးၿပဳႏုိင္ပါတယ္။
Raid system မွာ အသုံးၿပဳတဲ့ နည္းပညာ ၃ ခုရွိရပါတယ္။ အဲဒါေတြကေတာ့ striping, mirroring, parity, နဲ႕ ေပါင္းစပ္အသုံးၿပဳျခင္းတုိ႕ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။
Striping။
data ေတြကုိ Block Size အေနနဲ႕ ပိုင္းလုိက္ၿပီး Hard Disk ေတြမွာသြားၿပီး သိမ္းထားျခင္းျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ Block Size ကေတာ့ 32KB ကေန 128KB ,1 MB အသီးသီးရွိပါတယ္။data ေတြကုိ Block အေနနဲ႕ ပုိင္းၿပီး သိမ္းလုိက္ၿပီး array Member ေတြျဖစ္တဲ့ Hard disk တစ္ၿပဳိင္ထဲ သြားၿပီး သိမ္းတဲ့အတြက္ Read/Write Performance ပုိၿပီးေကာင္းပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ့ Fault to­le­ran­ce မရပါဘူး။
Mirroring
Data ေတြကုိ Array member ျဖစ္တဲ့ Hard disk ေတြေပၚမွာ သြားၿပီး တစ္ၿပဳိင္းတည္း သိမ္းထားျခင္းျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ A ဆုိတဲ့ File တစ္ခုထဲကုိ Hard disk 1 မွာေရာ Hard Disk 2 မွာေရာ သြားၿပီး Save ထားျခင္းျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ဒါေၾကာင့္ Fault to­le­ran­ce ရွိပါတယ္။ Read Performance ေကာင္းပါတယ္။
Parity
Hard Disk မွာ Data ေတြကုိ သိမ္းထားရင္ 0 1 အေနနဲ႔ သိမ္းထားပါတယ္။ Parity စနစ္ကေတာ့ binary number ေတြျဖစ္တဲ့ 0 1 ေတြအား Xor ကုိ အသုံးၿပဳၿပီး Parity Data (information) ကေန Disk တစ္ခု fail ျဖစ္ရင္ Fault to­le­ran­ce ရရွိေအာင္ လုပ္တာပါ။. Xor ကတူရင္ 0 မတုူရင္ 1
(disk 4 မွာ Parity information တြက္ခ်က္မႈ)
Disk 1 = 1 0 1 0
Disk 2 = 1 1 0 0
Disk 3 = 0 0 1 1
------------------------------------------------
Disk 4 = 0 1 0 1 ( Parity Information)
------------------------------------------------
when Disk 1 Fail <==== disk 4 က Parity information နဲ႔ ျပန္ Xor ပါမယ္။
Disk 1 = x x x x
Disk 2 = 1 1 0 0
Disk 3 = 0 0 1 1
------------------------------------------------
Disk 4 = 0 1 0 1 ( Parity Information)
------------------------------------------------
Result
Disk 1 = ၁ ၀ ၁ ၀
Disk 2 = 1 1 0 0
Disk 3 = 0 0 1 1
------------------------------------------
Disk 4 = 0 1 0 1 ( Parity Information)

(image လုပ္ဖုိ႕ HD storage အခက္ခဲရွိတယ္ဆုိရင္ မိမိ Forensics station က SCSI တပ္ဆင္လုိ႕ရရပါမယ္။ Or SATA အပုိေတြပါရပါမယ္။
- Example အေနနဲ raid 5 ကုိ ၿပထားပါတယ္... ။ ပုံေတြကုိ ၀ါးရင္... Sorry ...

B-Trees (NTFS)

Image
  B-Trees An NTFS index sort attributes into a tree, specifically a B-tree. A tree is a group of data structures called nodes that are linked together such that there is a head node and its branches out to the other nodes. Consider Figure 11.13(A), where we see node A on top and it links to nodes B and C. Node B links to nodes D and E. A parent node is one that links to other nodes, and a child node is one that is linked to. For example, A is a parent node to B and C, which are children of A. A leaf node is one that has no links from it. Nodes C, D, and E are leaves. The example shown is a binary tree because there are a maximum of two children per node. Figure 11.13. Examples of A) a tree with 5 nodes and B) the same tree that is sorted by the node values FIG- 11.3 Trees are useful because they can be used to easily sort and find data. Figure 11.13(B) shows the same tree as we saw on the left side, but now with values that are assigned to each node. If we are trying to look up a valu

NTFS Index Attributes

Image
  NTFS Index Attributes Now that we have described the general concept of B-trees, we need to describe how they are implemented in NTFS to create indexes. Each entry in the tree uses a data structure called an index entry to store the values in each node. There are many types of index entries, but they all have the same standard header fields, which are given in Chapter 13. For example, a directory index entry contains a few header values and a $FILE_NAME attribute. The index entries are organized into nodes of the tree and stored in a list. An empty entry is used to signal the end of the list. Figure 11.18 shows an example of a node in a directory index with four $FILE_NAME index entries. Figure 11.18. A node in an NTFS directory index tree with four index entries. Figure 11.18 The index nodes can be stored in two types of MFT entry attributes. The $INDEX_ROOT attribute is always resident and can store only one node that contains a small number of index entries. The $INDEX_ROOT attrib
