Blue Gears - Virtualization Best Practices
Even More Thoughts on Forensics
Acquiring virtual machines can be difficult if the VM resides upon a virtual machine file system (VMFS). Mainly because nothing but ESX understands a VMFS. Given this how do you acquire the appropriate files for forensic analysis in a forensically sound way?

The Internet's strangest communities
