WINDOWS FORENSICS
Forensic Analysis of the Windows Registry – One of the most important sources of information in Windows forensics
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 analysis is always 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 registry contains a wealth of information about the status and usage of a Windows system. It often provides insights into user activities and system configurations and is therefore one of the most important sources of information in Windows forensics. However, meaningful results can only be obtained through a comprehensive analysis of all relevant 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.
