Forensic Analysis of Windows AppX Packages – Understanding Modern Windows Applications
AppX-Pakete bilden die Grundlage für moderne Windows-Anwendungen (UWP-Apps). Installation, Aktualisierung und Entfernung dieser Anwendungen hinterlassen verschiedene Artefakte, die Hinweise auf die Nutzung eines Systems liefern können.
Im Rahmen einer professionellen IT-forensischen Untersuchung werden AppX-Artefakte niemals isoliert bewertet. Erst die Korrelation mit Registry-Artefakten, Benutzerprofilen, Ereignisprotokollen, Microsoft-Store-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, AppX-related artefacts are identified, analysed and technically assessed alongside other digital traces.
Warum sind AppX-Artefakte wichtig?
They enable conclusions to be drawn about modern Windows applications that have been installed, their updates and, in some cases, their use, thereby contributing to the overall reconstruction of a digital scenario.
