IT Forensics – Windows
Forensic analysis of Windows TCP/IP configuration – Understanding network settings
The TCP/IP configuration forms the basis of all network communication in Windows. Depending on the system and the issue at hand, IP addresses, gateways, DNS-Server, network interfaces and other configuration data can provide valuable insights into how a system is being used.
A professional analysis is never carried out in isolation. Only by correlating data with registry artefacts, network profiles, event logs, DNS artefacts and other digital traces is it possible to arrive at a robust technical assessment.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is carried out exclusively on a forensic copy or a forensic image. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its evidential integrity.
Our services
We analyse TCP/IP configurations, network interfaces and associated system artefacts. All findings are correlated with other Windows artefacts and documented in a traceable manner.
Typical areas of application
This is how the analysis works
Once a forensic image has been created, the relevant TCP/IP artefacts are analysed. This is followed by a comprehensive technical assessment, taking into account all other relevant lines of evidence.
Why is TCP/IP configuration important?
It can provide evidence of a system’s integration into networks, the configurations used and the communication channels employed. The forensic assessment is always carried out within the overall context of all available artefacts.
