Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document outlines the basic requirements for the MSU FTC LiveCD to be created for CSE 4990/6990 (Advanced Digital Forensics). 1.2 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions The intended audience for this document consists of students enrolled in CSE4990/6990 as well as the course instructor, Dr. David Dampier. Further insight into the planned system can be gained from the base distribution homepage (http://www.slax.org/) and any resource providing information related to a Linux environment 2. Overall Description 2.1 Product Perspective While the basis of this project is an existing liveCD operating system, the project will represent an initial development of a customized environment for the MSU FTC. 2.2 Operating Environment The environment will be a Linux 2.6 kernel running on pc-architecture x86 hardware. Since the project is to provide the operating environment for several other programs it will provide an environment for perl and python, along with all necessary libraries. 2.3 Assumptions The user must possess a basic level of knowledge working in both a console and graphical Linux environment.Software Requirements Specification for MSU FTC LiveCD Page 2 3. System Features 3.1 LiveCD Environment The system will provide a fully-operational Linux environment complete with required libraries to run all other projects. A graphical interface using X-Windows will be available and include menu entries to launch all other projects. All system drives will be unmounted at startup and will only be mounted with action from the user. Any configuration data for programs will be saved to a specially designated flash drive (dongle). 3.2 Dongle Tool A format utility will be provided to designate a user-provided flash drive as the system dongle. Any data used for logging or configuration will store files to the dongle. The mount point for the dongle will be “/dongle” from the filesystem root. A flag will be set to alert programs if the dongle is not
