At the top of the page, click Download.
On the next page, click a mirror link. When I did it, the only mirror was "HTTP – GAAR PRIMARY mirror".
On the next page, click the latest ISO version. When I did it, it was deft-8.2.iso, as shown below.
The download tok 2 hours when I did it on the CCSF campus. The file is on some of the computers in the S214 lab, so you can copy it there, to make it faster.
Drag the deft8.2.iso file and drop it on the HashCalc window.
Verify that the MD5 hash value matches the image shown below. This proves that your download worked properly.
Click "Create a new Virtual Machine".
In the "New Virtual Machine Wizard", click the "I will install the operating system later" button, as shown below. Click Next.

You should see a DEFT bootup screen, as shown below. If you don't, you need to increqse the Vmware boot delay and change the BIOS boot order.
Don't bother booting up your VM further at this point, because you don't have the evidence drive connected yet. In VMware Player, click Player, Power, "Shut down guest", and Yes.
Click Start, Computer. Open the VMs-S214 drive. Open the folder with your name on it. Make a subfolder named YOURNAME-proj10.
Right-click on the link below, and save this Evidence File on your desktop :

The .dd file is an exact duplicate of the original evidence disk, approximately 104 MB in size.
The .E01 file is much smaller, less than 1 MB.
Consider the situation, and answer these questions in the body of your email message.
- Why do the .dd and .E01 files have different sizes?
- Which file is the correct evidence image to use in court, or are they both correct?
Attach the two images to the email.
