Forensic analysis of Windows WLAN artefacts – Tracing wireless network connections
Windows stores a great deal of information about known WLAN networks and their usage. Depending on the system and configuration, SSIDs, profiles, configuration data and other artefacts may provide clues about previous wireless network connections.
A professional analysis is never carried out in isolation. Only by correlating the findings with network profiles, registry artefacts, event logs, DNS artefacts and other digital traces is it possible to arrive at a reliable 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 WLAN profiles, configuration data and other wireless network artefacts. All results 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 WLAN artefacts are analysed and technically assessed alongside other digital evidence.
Why are WLAN artefacts important?
WLAN artefacts can provide clues about known wireless networks and their usage. However, their significance only becomes apparent once all relevant digital traces have been analysed as a whole.
