Which method is most effective for validating the data integrity of a suspect's hard drive during an incident response investigation?
Checking file timestamps
Calculating checksums
Using file size comparisons
Computing and comparing MD5 or SHA-256 hash values
The most effective method for validating data integrity in an incident response context is computing and comparing hash values, typically using algorithms like MD5 or SHA-256. This ensures that the data remains unchanged from its original state. While checksums and time stamps also provide some level of integrity checking, they are not as robust and trustworthy as cryptographic hashes.
