[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm not contradicting myself.  It's an incomplete investigation and everyone knows it. The DNC is stalling and stonewalling.

"But, those things are separate from the server." No! Really. Do tell.

You confiscate all the infrastructure at the same time for examination. The server and any data in a cloud setup or a server farm should be investigated. Comparisons will have to be made for time stamps, when maliciousness supposedly took place and to do that, you need all components.

"The FBI has confirmed that they have been provided sufficient data."  - The person stating that is giving a political answer.

Furthermore:  " Do you dispute the determination that Russia was behind the hack? "

So who was it, since you seem to know so much? The FSB? The GRU? The SVR? Some other organization? You sure it wasn't China using Russian infrastructure. Just spitballing Jeff, but since you know so much, who exactly was it? Are you sure it wasn't an eastern european crime syndicate?

What are you basing your attribution on?[/quote]

You are completely contradicting yourself. You started a thread about the FBI being denied access to the DNC's server. When I explained that was not really a big deal, you went off in another direction about the need to investigate other devices, all of which are separate from the server.

I can't believe that you actually wrote this:

"You confiscate all the infrastructure at the same time for examination."

So, you wan the FBI to seize an email server, potentially one or more file servers, potentially an entire cloud service, a firewall, router, any number of switches, an IDS, and who knows what else? That would shut the DNC down. Is that your actual goal? Moreover, firewalls and IDS and most security devices would be useless to investigate in themselves. What is actually important are the log files which are not stored on the devices themselves. Seizing a firewall would provide no benefit.

You have pretty much given away the fact that you don't have a clue about what you are talking and have never conducted an actual investigation into a network intrussion  (or least not a credible one).
