View the workspace

Prev Next

The Workspace allows you to view the ranges of sectors read from the disk. This option opens the Workspace window that allows users to read sector ranges.

Make sure that you have:

  • The DETech (Standalone) boot disk

  • The daily authorization code

    Note

    Users with a valid support contract with Trellix can obtain the daily authorization code from Trellix Support.

  • Recovery Information File (.xml) or Authentication Token

By default, nothing is loaded into the workspace. The workspace is not a view of the disk, it displays only what the user loads into it. The user can choose to load the ranges of sectors.

Caution

It is entirely the responsibility of the qualified system administrators and security managers to take appropriate precautions before performing this task. Maximum care must be taken in performing this task, otherwise, it might cause the system to become corrupt or result in a loss of data. Contact Trellix Support for assistance on how to use the DETech workspace.

  1. Boot the system with the DETech (Standalone) boot disk. This loads the Trellix DETech interface.

  2. Enter the daily authorization code, then confirm the authorization status.

  3. You might need to select the Select Boot Disk option to specify which drive DETech tries to boot from. This depends on the implementation of the BIOS.

  4. Authenticate with Token or Recovery Information File (.xml), then confirm the authentication status.

  5. Click Workspace under Actions. The Workspace page lists these options:

    • Load From File — Loads the file and displays the bytes that comprise it.

    • Save To File — Saves the current data in the workspace to the file.

    • Load From Disk — Loads bytes from a continuous range of sectors on the disk.

    • Save To Disk — Saves the current data in the workspace to a continuous range of sectors on the disk.

    • Zero Workspace — Fills the workspace with zeros.

    • Set workspace Alg — Enables you to select and set the desired algorithm to use in the workspace for encryption or decryption.

    • Encrypt Workspace — Encrypts the entire contents of the workspace.

    • Decrypt Workspace — Decrypts the entire contents of the workspace.

  6. Click First Sector to view the first sector from the disk.

  7. Click Previous Sector to view the previous sector of the current sector from the disk.

  8. Click Next Sector to view the next sector of the current sector from the disk.

  9. Click Last Sector to view the last sector from the disk.
