Windows OS Forensics
OS Forensics is the term that deals with the investigation of Operating Systems to gather essential information about the computer system so that malicious activities performed on the machine by the adversary can be identified. We are aware of various types of Operating Sytems running on our computing devices. Cyber Forensics Investigators need to understand forensics methodologies for all operating systems irrespective of the platform because organizations not only use windows OS rather they have Linux, Mac as well as Android devices in their computing infrastructure. In this book, we will learn the methodology used by forensic investigators to analyze the Windows operating system. Since the Windows operating system is mostly used by the common man, our Windows OS Forensics techniques can be used to analyze the Windows machines involved in any cyberattack. The goal of forensics investigators is to collect digital evidence against the culprit behind any cyberattack. The investigators search all possible places for digital evidence on the machine to gather any thread related to the cyberattack.
