IT Forensics – Windows

Forensic analysis of Windows VPN artefacts – tracing VPN connections and configurations

VPN-Verbindungen ermöglichen den verschlüsselten Zugriff auf entfernte Netzwerke. Windows speichert – abhängig von Version und Konfiguration – verschiedene Artefakte zu eingerichteten VPN-Profilen, Verbindungen und Systemereignissen. Im Rahmen einer IT-forensischen Untersuchung können diese Informationen zur Rekonstruktion von Netzwerkaktivitäten beitragen.

Enquire without obligation

Eine professionelle Analyse erfolgt niemals isoliert. Erst die Korrelation mit Event Logs, Netzwerkprofilen, Registry-Artefakten, RDP-, SMB- und weiteren Windows-Artefakten ermöglicht eine belastbare technische Bewertung.

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 VPN-related artefacts, reconstruct connection events and evaluate all findings in conjunction with other Windows artefacts. All stages of the investigation are documented in a transparent manner.

This is how the analysis works

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

Warum sind VPN-Artefakte wichtig?

You can provide evidence of established VPN connections and their use. However, the significance of this evidence only becomes apparent once all relevant digital traces have been analysed as a whole.
