6. If the drive needs to be formatted, tap the Settings icon to change the
Format settings then tap the OK icon.
FORMAT – Select ON or OFF to format the drive.
FILE SYSTEM – Select whether the Falcon will format the drive
with the EXT4 or NT File System (NTFS).
ENCRYPTION – Select whether to encrypt the drive (ON) or not
(OFF).
For more information on encrypted Destination drives, please see
Chapter 8: Drive Encryption and Decryption.
The Falcon encrypts drives using AES 256 encryption regardless of
what cipher mode is used. If TC-XTS is used, Falcon uses a
TrueCrypt friendly format and does not use TrueCrypt to encrypt
the drive. The encryption key is not stored on the Destination
drive.
7. Optional: Tap Case Info to set the Case/File Name, Case ID, Examiner,
Evidence ID, or Case Notes.
The Falcon will convert any non-POSIX portable characters used in
Case/File Name field to underscores “_“ when creating the log or
file names.
POSIX portable characters are:
Uppercase A to Z Period (.)
Lowercase a to z Underscore (_)
Numbers 0 to 9 Hyphen/Dash (-)
8. Tap the Start icon to start the wipe task. The Falcon will perform a
Secure Erase first (if selected), then a Wipe Pattern (if selected), then
finally a Format (if selected).
9. When finished, the status will show “COMPLETED”. At this point, it is
recommended to tap Reset Task to reset the task, and also to delete the
task in order for the drive bays to be properly reset and not show as
being used or assigned for other tasks to be configured.
