WINDOWS FORENSICS

Forensic analysis of Windows event logs – evaluating system events in a traceable manner

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

Windows event logs document numerous activities carried out by the operating system and often form the basis for reconstructing the timeline of an incident. However, their value is only realised when they are analysed in conjunction with other forensic artefacts.

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, the relevant event logs are extracted and analysed. The individual events are ordered chronologically and correlated with other artefacts. This results in a clear chronology of the relevant system events.

When is this analysis required?

  • Investigation into unauthorised logins
