  • Updates to the RecentDocs Key in Windows 10

    I’ve been revisiting things in Windows 10 recently. We’ve seen a few things change that we have taken for granted in previous versions so I’ve been investigating things. In my most recent efforts, I’ve come to the RecentDocs key in the Windows registry. For those that are unaware, this key lies in each user’s NTUSER.DAT […]

  • Gamble? Not with your future.

    Honestly, I’ve never been big into gambling. The closest I’ve come is buying a lottery ticket when I was 18.

You can choose to […]

  • Changes to the Forensic 4:cast Awards

    In June we held the tenth annual Forensic 4:cast Awards. This also signaled the ninth year of us holding the awards at the SANS DFIR Summit. After the awards in June I felt somewhat discouraged that many of the awards went unclaimed. I asked for suggestions on how to best improve the awards (see here: https://forensic4cast.com/2018/06/future-of-the-forensic-4cast-awards/). […]

  • Future of the Forensic 4:cast Awards

    Fear cripples us. It stops us from making decisions, leaving us in limbo. I have fears about the Forensic 4:cast Awards and, after 10 years of the awards, I’m ready to tackle those fears and improve them.

  • Deleted vs “Deleted”

    This morning, in my Enfuse talk (MAC Times, Mac Times, and more) I made a blanket statement. I usually avoid these but, in this case, I made a deliberate blanket statement. I provided the example from the SANS Windows Forensic Poster and showed, from the poster, that MAC times are not updated when a file […]
