WINDOWS FORENSICS

Forensic analysis of Windows Timeline – tracing user activities chronologically

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 Windows Timeline can provide additional insights into user activity. However, its significance only becomes apparent when all relevant artefacts are analysed as a whole, and it must not be assessed in isolation.

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, any existing timeline data is extracted and analysed. It is then cross-referenced with other digital evidence in order to place events in chronological order and assess them from a technical perspective.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

When is this analysis required?

  • Reconstruction of user activities
  • Incident Response

LIMITATIONS & CONCLUSION

What you should know

We analyse timeline data, evaluate timestamps and correlate the results with other artefacts such as event logs, the registry, LNK files, jump lists, prefetch files and the Master File Table (MFT). All stages of the investigation are documented in a way that allows for full traceability.
