Description - "One goal of incident response is to preserve the entire digital crime scene with minimal or no modification of data. This paper introduces pdd or "Palm dd", a Windows-based tool for memory imaging and forensic acquisition of data from the Palm operating system (OS) family of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). pdd will preserve the crime scene by obtaining a bit-for-bit image or "snapshot" of the Palm device's memory contents. Such data can be used by forensic investigators, incident response teams, and criminal and civil prosecutors. This paper also presents the Palm OS internals (hardware, file system, and debugger functionality), pdd details (usage, process, flowchart, and timing), and forensic analysis results (flash memory, record removal and deletion, retrieval of system passwords, and telephony applications).4.3.."
"Retrieval of System Passwords: The Palm OS system password is set by the user with the built-in "Security" application. The maximum length of the ASCII password is 31 characters. In all versions of Palm OS up to 4.0, it has been confirmed that an obfuscation or hash of the user's system password is stored on the device in the "Unsaved Preferences" database and is also transmitted over the serial cable, airwaves, and networks during a HotSync operation. Depending on the version of Palm OS, the system password is encoded and stored differently.
For Palm OS versions 3.5.2 and earlier, a weak obfuscation method is used to mask the actual ASCII password. Regardless of the length of the ASCII password, the resultant encoded block is always 32 bytes. Two methods are used to encode the ASCII password, depending on its length. For passwords of four characters or fewer, an index is calculated based on the length of the password and the string is XOR'ed (a logical operation) against a 32-byte constant block.."
Comment - Paper discusses the basics of Palm Passwords among other things like how to image a Palm.

Description - "I watched a TV program recently where a serial killer was caught because he sent the police a map (that was from an online map site) to show where a body could be found. The authorities were able to track him down and gather proof and evidence from his home PC. These types of evidence obtaining resources can be used on PDAs too. Any forensic examiner knows better than anyone that the difference between making a case and losing a case is hard evidence. And with more bad guys going high tech, obtaining that evidence is becoming more difficult than ever. There are tools that can help forensic examiners gain useful information from PDAs."

Supported Software Versions or File Systems - Palm OS 3.5.2 and earlierDescription - "Ointment exploits a particular design problem with the Palm OS backdoor debug mode and the use of weak obfuscated system passwords. Ointment will emulate the serial link protocol and the 'export' and 'reset' commands of the Palm OS Console Debug Mode, retrieve the encoded password block from the "Unsaved Preferences" database of the target device, and decode and display the resultant ASCII password."
Comment - See "How to Apply Ointment".
