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

PowerShell is capable of making extensive changes to the system. Analysing existing artefacts often makes it possible to reconstruct administrative or security-related activities. However, their significance only becomes apparent when all relevant digital traces are analysed as a whole.

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, all relevant PowerShell artefacts are analysed and correlated with other Windows artefacts.
