Forensic Analysis of Windows Hosts Using UNIX-Based Tools

Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS, Servers and Server OS

Overview Many forensic examiners are introduced to UNIX-based forensic utilities when faced with investigating a UNIX-like operating system for the first time. They will use these utilities for this very specific task, because in many cases these tools are the only ones for the given job. Regarding Linux specifically, the sheer number of file systems supported natively is astounding. This paper begins with a review of the Windows examination capabilities afforded by the two main Linux-based forensics suites, ASRData's ''SMART for Linux'' and Brian Carrier's ''Autopsy''. They will continue with a roundup of the Linux-based utilities examiners can use to interpret Windows-specific artifacts, like Internet Explorer history files and Outlook email archives.
