IT Forensics – Windows

Forensic analysis of Windows proxy artefacts – Understanding proxy configurations and network communication

Windows unterstützt unterschiedliche Proxy-Konfigurationen für den Zugriff auf interne Netzwerke und das Internet. Im Rahmen einer IT-forensischen Untersuchung können Proxy-bezogene Artefakte Hinweise auf verwendete Proxyserver, Konfigurationen und bestimmte Netzwerkaktivitäten liefern.

Enquire without obligation

Eine professionelle Analyse erfolgt niemals isoliert. Erst die Korrelation mit Browser-Artefakten, DNS-Informationen, Firewall-Protokollen, Event Logs und weiteren Windows-Artefakten ermöglicht eine belastbare technische Bewertung.

This is how the analysis works

Once a forensic image has been created, all relevant proxy artefacts are analysed. This is followed by a comprehensive technical assessment, carried out in conjunction with other digital evidence.

Warum sind Proxy-Artefakte wichtig?

They can provide clues about the network configuration and communication channels. However, their significance only becomes apparent once all relevant digital traces have been analysed as a whole.
