Installing kape incident response tool for imaging

 Kape is a triage collection and post-processing application written by Eric Zimmerman. Besides full disk image/acquired disk image, this tool allows us to create smaller triage image. In case the scenario is divide and conquer, meaning if you want smaller triage image from big size disk image then you can use this and share with your DFIR team to investigate together. 

If you want to learn more, please open for508 workbook and labs section 1-2.pdf file and look for page 28.

This is windows based. It requires target files which identify specific artifacts to be collected in a triage image. Target files are crowd sourced. 

Kape ships with one target file that collects every relevant artifacts called !SANS_Triage.tkape

Command: Admin privilege required. Taking triage image from a live system.

kape.exe --tsource F --target !SANS_Triage --tdesk C:\temp\Output

--tsource -->where is the data. This should be formatted as C or D: or F:\

--target -->what data to collect. --tlist will tell you list of available targets. 

--tdest -->where to copy the collected data. Here you can also use vhdx and vhd.

Command to see target list with details, assuming you are in the kape folder:

kape.exe --tlist . --tdetail

Creating a vhdx image:

kape.exe --tsource C: --tdest G:\USB\Labs\Kape --target !SANS_Triage --vhdx %COMPUTERNAME%-triage

Benefit of vhdx is you can mount it as like your other drive. It is recommended to take the output to usb drive or external storage. It will show some errors during running, but that's normal. The output will be a .zip file. 

You need to extract it and mount it by double clicking it using a tool called Arsenal Image Mounter (AIM).

Now we have another use case which is creating a triage image from a full disk image. 

We may also need to learn how to mount an ISO file as DVD.

Going to the dvd drive folder will get you to the image file. Full disk image extension could be .E01

Mount it using Arsenal Image Mounter tool with read only mode. 

After a moment you will see a new drive letter appeared. Say for example F.

Now triage using kape again. 

Command:

kape.exe --tsource F: --tdest G:\Labs\kape --target !SANS_Triage --vhdx rd01-triage

Again this will generate a .zip file.

Now how to running kape from usb drive?

Download and update zimmersman tools and kape. Then copy it to the usb drive.
