Forensic Analysis of Windows User Accounts (SAM) – Evaluating Local Accounts and Security Information
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.
