WINDOWS FORENSICS

Forensic analysis of jump lists – Important insights into user activity

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, as a matter of principle, 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.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Technical Fundamentals

Jump Lists often provide clues as to which files and applications have actually been used. However, their significance only becomes apparent through the comprehensive analysis of all relevant digital traces within an investigation.

OUR APPROACH

This is how your examination will be carried out

A transparent process – from the initial enquiry to the handover of the report.

1
Once a forensic image has been created, any existing jump lists are identified and analysed. The information they contain is compared with other Windows artefacts and placed in chronological order. All stages of the investigation are fully documented.

When is this analysis required?

  • Reconstruction of opened documents

LIMITATIONS & CONCLUSION

What you should know
