IT Forensics – Windows
Forensic analysis of Windows Nearby Sharing – Reconstructing local file transfers
Nearby Sharing ermöglicht den Austausch von Dateien und Links zwischen Windows-Geräten in räumlicher Nähe über Bluetooth und WLAN. Je nach Windows-Version und Konfiguration können dabei Artefakte entstehen, die Hinweise auf Übertragungen, beteiligte Geräte oder Benutzereinstellungen liefern.
Im Rahmen einer professionellen IT-forensischen Untersuchung werden diese Artefakte niemals isoliert bewertet. Erst die Korrelation mit Bluetooth-Artefakten, WLAN-Artefakten, Benutzerprofilen, Ereignisprotokollen, Registry-Daten und weiteren digitalen Spuren ermöglicht eine belastbare technische Bewertung.

Typical areas of application
This is how the analysis works
Once a forensic image has been created, any artefacts present are identified, analysed and technically categorised alongside other digital traces.
Warum ist Nearby Sharing forensisch relevant?
These artefacts may provide evidence as to whether files have been exchanged between Windows devices. The significance and scope of this evidence depend on the traces available and the specific system configuration.
