Forensic Analysis of Windows COM+ – Tracing Distributed Components and Services
COM+ erweitert das Component Object Model (COM) um zusätzliche Funktionen wie Transaktionsverwaltung, Ereignissteuerung und sicherheitsrelevante Dienste. Anwendungen und Systemkomponenten können COM+-Objekte nutzen und dabei Konfigurations- und Protokollspuren hinterlassen.
Im Rahmen einer professionellen IT-forensischen Untersuchung werden COM+-Artefakte niemals isoliert bewertet. Erst die Korrelation mit Registry-Artefakten, Windows-Diensten, Ereignisprotokollen, Dateisystemspuren und weiteren digitalen Beweismitteln ermöglicht eine belastbare technische Bewertung.

Typical areas of application
This is how the analysis works
Once a forensic image has been created, any existing COM+ artefacts are identified, analysed and technically categorised alongside other digital traces.
Warum sind COM+-Artefakte wichtig?
They can provide information on installed applications, security-related configurations and changes to system components, thereby helping to reconstruct complex IT scenarios.
