Create forensically sound bit-for-bit disk images with dd or dcfldd on a Linux forensic workstation, preserving evidence integrity through hash verification (MD5/SHA) during acquisition. Use when imaging a suspect drive, USB device, or memory card for investigation, preserving volatile disk evidence during incident response, or producing a verified copy for legal or law-enforcement proceedings before any destructive analysis.

The most procedurally complete forensics skill here: write-blocking via udev rules, pre- and post-acquisition hashing to prove source integrity, dcfldd's hashwindow/split/verify flags, and a structured chain-of-custody report template, with a 'When to Use' section that is genuinely bespoke rather than the family's templated filler.
