Remember to save your changes.<\/p>\n<p>HINT \u2013 the template feature of Active @ Disk Editor will be VERY helpful with this exercise.<\/p>\n<p>There are 3 basic ways to recover the images:<br \/>\n1.\t Manually.  A manual recovery would require that you reassemble the Directory and the FAT tables based on available data.  You should be able to view the images in FTK Imager afterwards.<br \/>\n2.\tSemi-Auto.  Many tools and hex editors will allow you to highlight (or otherwise select) the clusters after you have identified them and perform a simple &#8220;save as a new file&#8221;.  You would then click on the new file and your image will appear.   The copy of WinHex on your disk should have this feature available.  You can also do this with a source code editor such as NotePad++.<br \/>\n3.\tAutomatic &#8211; Many advanced tools will allow you to simply click a button to recover files from unallocated space.  It is that simple.  For example, try using Autopsy.  Autopsy may be downloaded at:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.sleuthkit.org\/autopsy\/<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tAutopsy is free.<br \/>\n\u2022\tBe sure to select the appropriate version, either the 32-bit (x86) version or the 64-bit (x64) version appropriate for your Windows installation.<br \/>\n\u2022\tA version of Autopsy compiled for Mac OSX is available from Surmuri on their ISO for the latest release of Paladin.<\/p>\n<p>Two Parts:<\/p>\n<p>Part 1: Manually recover File1.JPG by reassembling the directory and the FAT tables.<\/p>\n<p>All that you need to do is:<\/p>\n<p>(1) open the existing image 4.5-Exercise.001 (as is) in a hex editor<br \/>\n(2) fill in the information for the 4.5-Exercise.001 directory and the FAT directly in the existing image itself<br \/>\n(3) save the changes and close the existing image<br \/>\n(4) load the image into FTK Imager.<\/p>\n<p>A.\tPaste a screen capture of the reassembled directory entry here:<\/p>\n<p>a.\tIMPORTANT: Before you save your directory, type your first name in ACSII on the line below the directory entry.  Take the screenshot with your name in the directory.  Afterwards, overwrite your name with the values of 0x00 or the correct values.  Then save the directory.  You will NOT receive credit unless your screen capture contains your first name.<\/p>\n<p>B.\tPaste a screen capture of the one of the two reassembled FATs here:<\/p>\n<p>a.\tIMPORTANT: Before you save your first FAT, type your first name in ACSII on the line below the FAT entry.  Take the screenshot with your name in the FAT.  Afterwards, overwrite your name with the values of 0x00 or the correct values.  Then save the directory.  You will NOT receive credit unless your screen capture contains your first name.<\/p>\n<p>C.\tPaste a screen capture of the image as viewed in FTK Imager here.  You must include enough of the surrounding Imager window so as to demonstrate that the image is being viewed from within FTK Imager.  Your screen capture MUST display the Properties pane with the Starting Cluster and Starting Sector clearly displayed.  You will NOT receive credit otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Part 2: Recover the remaining images and complete the table below.  You may use either automated or semi-automated methodologies, or even manual methods if you like.<\/p>\n<p>Please provide all answers in decimal or ASCII.<\/p>\n<p>Complete the following table for each file.
