Then you're an imbecile, because even low level SA's know a digit copy of a hard drive is an exact byte-for-byte duplicate. It's not a PDF, it's not a text copy. Digital copies contain all the data from the source drives. And as Comey testified, the digital copies they were provided were an "appropriate substitute."LOLNah, you're lying again. CrowdStrike provided the FBI with exact byte-for-byte copies of the hard drives for them to perform their own forensics.DNC declined FBI's request to examine their server. The Russian narrative is just, that... a narrative to point in desired direction, not necessary to the right direction.
"cyber investigators"
Those investigators were on their payroll, their "findings" are worthless.
There is no question that Russian agents were behind the hacking. Only truly brain-dead trump cultists continue to deny it at this point.
It's great that you provided the proof for your claim, otherwise, who would believe you.
You don't believe me when I do post links. So what difference does that make to someone hiding from reality?
Still, here ya go...
That is essentially what the FBI did with the DNC server: The bureau was provided with copies of the data on the server, like duplicating your own hard drive. Had Russians accessed the physical server after breaking into the DNC, the physical server itself might have been useful. Instead, they were given the serverās fingerprint, so to speak. This was confirmed by a spokesman for the DNC and by then-FBI Director James B. Comey
"We got the forensics from the pros that they hired which -- again, best practice is always to get access to the machines themselves, but this, my folks tell me, was an appropriate substitute." ~ James Comey
DNC spokeswoman Adrienne Watson told PolitiFact that the DNC cooperated with the FBIās requests, which resulted in the DNC providing a copy of their server.
LOL
Dude, I make living writing programs for anything that require programs (from corporate servers, data processing, to automation systems). Providing copies of the data from hard drives is not the same as providing hard drives. To some computer illiterate, such as yourself, what they sell you may be believable and acceptable, but it's not how it works.
To give you example, when Clinton was asked to provide her emails, she (or whoever she paid) provided pdfs of the emails. Had she provided the whole server, there would be a lot more to see from metadata, cache, temp files, dump files etc. The same goes for the "copy of the hard drives". But hey, you chose to accept what they said, and for you, that is enough.
Oh, and by "computer illiterate,"you mean the lead senior software engineer for a fortune 100 company.
"byte for byte"
Sure.
You do know that data deleted from the drive can be recovered.
Having said that, when you copy "byte for byte" you're only copying the data that is on your drive, not the data that is deleted. Sure, byte for byre drive may be identical in volume, but it will not give you possibility of recovering any previously deleted data. That is the same reason Clinton used bleach bit on her server, to remove any possibility of recovering deleted data.
Oh, and whoever you work for should fire your sorry ass.
