Honey, Where’s My Jump Bag?
A “jump bag” is a collection of critical items you might need during crisis response when an attacker invades your network. It should contain these items:
- Tape recorder or minidisk
- Backup media
- Binary backup software
- CDs with statically linked binaries of critical OS executables
- Forensic software
- Windows NT and 2000 resource kits
- Bootable CD-ROMs
- USB token memory device
- External hard drive
- Small hub
- Patch cables
- Laptop with dual operating system capability
- Call list and cell phone
- Plastic baggies for handling evidence
- Extra notebooks for taking notes
A jump bag is not only needed when an attacker invades my network but for any critical situation — for example, when one partition in my fiance’s hard drive crashed few days ago and she has many imporant data for almost 18GB.
At that time, I have no tools in hand, so approx. I took 3 hours to recovery the data (~45 minutes spent to search the proper recovery software). After that incident, I realize how important having a jump bag and thinking to have one near future.
nice tricks. one stupid questions : when will you marry your fiance ?
