Forensic analysis of the Windows DNS cache – tracing network 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 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

The DNS cache can provide additional clues regarding resolved domain names and network activity. However, its significance only becomes apparent when all relevant digital traces are analysed together.

OUR APPROACH

This is how your examination will be carried out

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