I'd highly recommend SIFT for government agencies or other companies as a first alternative, for acquisition and analysis, from the pricey forensics software available on the market.
What I like the best about SIFT is that my forensic analysis is not limited because of only being able to run an incident response or forensic tool on a specific host operating system.
Not to mention, being able to mount forensic images and share them as read-only with my host OS, where I can run other forensic tools to parse data, stream-lining the forensic examination process.

Here you can easily track the execution of a specific program across multiple days thanks to quick analysis using the restore point data NTUSER. In some cases, you might not want to use the full super timeline. To understand what log2timeline is stepping through automatically; it might be useful to accomplish the same output by hand.
The following is the steps that log2timeline takes care of us in a single command instead of 3 steps. Timeline analysis is hard. Understanding how to use log2timeline will help engineer better solutions to unique investigative challenges. The tool was built for maximum flexibility to account for the need for both targeted and overall super timeline creation. Create your own preprocessors for targeted timelines. Use log2timeline to only collect the data you need.
Or use it to collect everything. In the next article we will talk about more efficient ways of analyzing data collected from log2timeline. In another upcming article, I will discuss how to parse and reduce the timeline efficiently so you can analyze the data easier.
Rob Lee has over 15 years of experience in digital forensics, vulnerability discovery, intrusion detection and incident response. The tool is being constantly updated so to get the current list of available input modules it is possible to let the tool print out a list: log2timeline -f list Artifacts Automatically Parsed in a SUPER Timeline: How to automatically create a SUPER Timeline log2timeline recursively scans through an evidence image physical or partition and extracts artifact timestamp data gathered from the evidence that the tool log2timeline supports see artifacts above.
Launch the SIFT workstation and login to the console by using the password "forensics". Step 2 — Create The Super Timeline Manual creation of a timeline is challenging and still requires some work to get through.
In Summary: Timeline analysis is hard. Keep Fighting Crime! Copy url Url was copied to clipboard. Related Content. December 9, Here were the top-rated talks of the year. Emily Blades. December 8, Digital Forensics and Incident Response. September 27, To obtain the correct KDBG address, use the kdbgscan command, which scans for KDBG headers, marks connected to Volatility profiles, and applies once-overs to verify that everything is okay to lessen bogus positives.
The verbosity of the yield and the number of once-overs that can be performed depends on whether Volatility can discover a DTB. So, on the off chance that you know the right profile, or if you have a profile recommendation from imageinfo, be sure to use the correct profile. We can use the profile with the following command:.
If it is a multiprocessor system, each processor has its own kernel processor scan region. To scan for malwares and rootkits, psscan is used. This tool scans for hidden processes linked to rootkits.
It is rarely possible for two files to have the same md5 hash, but it is impossible for a file to be modified with its md5 hash remaining the same. This includes the integrity of the files or the evidence. With a duplicate of the drive, anybody can scrutinize its trustworthiness and would think for a second that the drive was put there deliberately.
To gain proof that the drive under consideration is the original, you can use hashing, which will give a hash to a drive. If even a single piece of information is changed, the hash will change, and you will be able to know whether the drive is unique or a duplicate. To assure the integrity of the drive and that nobody can question it, you can copy the disk to generate a MD5 hash of the drive.
You can use md5sum for one or two files, but when it comes to multiple files in multiple directories, md5deep is the best available option for generating hashes. This tool also has the option to compare multiple hashes at once. There are many tools available for tagging and viewing images one-by-one, but in the case that you have many images to analyze in the thousands of images , ExifTool is the go-to choice. Metadata provides additional information about an item; for an image, its metadata will be its resolution, when it was taken or created, and the camera or program used for creating the picture.
To examine the metadata of a picture in raw format, use the following command:. This command will allow you to create data, such as modifying date, time, and other information not listed in the general properties of a file. Suppose you require naming hundreds of files and folders using metadata to create date and time. To do so, you must use the following command:. An image of a disk can be obtained using the dcfldd utility.
To get the image from the disk, use the following command:. Take a look at the dcfldd help page to explore various options for this tool using the following command:.
