Houston,
Texas (May 29, 2009) --- National firm Hill Schwartz Spilker Keller
LLC (HSSK) announced the successful utilization of Remlox™,
a patent pending forensic ESI collection tool, 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 by
one of the firm’s computer
forensics experts. HSSK distributed Remlox to several hundred
custodians, avoiding the cost and logistical issues of on-site
imaging. Complete, encrypted
forensic images were verified in HSSK’s Houston Computer
Forensics lab, the nation’s first non-governmental lab to
be accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory
Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB).
“By remotely acquiring forensic images, Remlox answers a
great need in the industry.” said David Greetham, Computer
Forensics practice director at HSSK.
“Remlox now allows attorneys to forensically acquire ESI,
without the usual high costs associated with traveling to different
remote locations, while negating the risks associated with self
collection.”
Remlox runs directly from a pre-configured external USB drive
that is sent to the custodian and requires no installation. It
performs a tamper proof system audit of the acquired computer
and has the option to forensically acquire the contents of RAM.
Greetham added, “Using Remlox is quick and simple. On one
occasion, we sent over 350 units to individual locations in two
days and had the data back in our lab for verification within
one week. On other occasions, we have utilized Remlox in locations
that would simply be cost prohibitive to travel to.”
Remlox utilizes AES 256 bit encryption, to protect the integrity
of the forensic images in transit.
