BlackBag MACQUISITION

BlackBag MacQUISITION : Compatibility

Though the software is compatible both Windows and Mac, the use of Mac is highly recommended. It is because the software is not so good to operate on windows if:

1. We have to examine an APFS formatted media file.
2. The filenames and paths are very long.
3. The files systems are very case sensitive.

Boot Instructions

Follow these boot instructions for the MACQUISITION:

1. In a USB port, insert the USB key of the MACQUISITION.
2. Attach a destination drive to the available Thunderbolt port/FireWire port/second USB port.
3. Now double click the ‘Application’ disk image that appears on the desktop.
4. In the ‘Finder’ application that appears, click on the MACQUISITION
5. In the password dialog window that appears next, enter the administrator password and click ‘OK’. If the password is unknown click the ‘Cancel’ button.

Now click on the ‘Run Restricted’ button to run Black Bag MACQUISITION with restricted permission.

This is how it is booted.

Note: If one wants to boot the MACQUISITION when the source computer is off, one can do so by attaching a destination drive or device to a FireWire port/Thunderbolt port/second USB port. Now turn on the source power button and quickly press the Option key. The probability is that either ‘Start-up Manager’ or ‘EFI boot’ will appear on the screen. Now click the best version of the MACQUISITION which suits best to the source machine. To begin the boot process, click the arrow.
