Windows Forensic:Registry Recon

Features

• Efficient harvesting of Registry data from entire disk images

• Resurrection of Registries long since forgotten

• Access to enormous amounts of deleted Registry data

• Unique keys and values shown by default in historical fashion

• Seamless access to all instances of keys and values

• Windows restore point and Volume Shadow Copy support

• Ability to view keys (and their values) at particular points in time

• Automatic decoding of particularly interesting Registry keys

To solve the Windows Forensics challenges, we used the following resources:

• Registry Recon
• CyberChef

.Registry Recon supports adding forensic images in EnCase (E01) and raw (dd) formats, VHD disk images, physically mounted slave drives, and the contents of directories as evidence.

1.Add Evidence  

2. Add Evidence >Mount option

3. Adding Evidence  >add

4. Add Evidence >Enter Evidence Name

5. Adding Evidence > Importing system hives from active windows installs.

6.Adding Evidence >Importing complete.

Process 

7. #Windows-1 Hostname? (DESKTOP-0J3S8C2)

Open the file using a Registry Recon

SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName registry key. Note the data value of the ComputerName.

8.# Windows-2 Time-zone (UTC)

Still using the Registry Recon and the SYSTEM file, navigate to the SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\TimeZoneInformation registry key. Note the data value for TimeZoneKeyName.

9.#Windows-3 Build number (19042)

Open the Registry Recon then navigate to the Software\Microsoft\Windows Nt\CurrentVersion registry key. Note the data value for the CurrentBuildNumber.

10.#Windows-4 Product name

From the same steps and results obtained from the previous challenge, the product name is also listed there (on the same registry key).

11. #Windows-5 SID  (John Doe)

You can also determine a user's SID by looking through the ProfileImagePath values in each S-1-5-21 prefixed SID listed under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

 Select each SID under this in turn and look at the ProfileImagePath and at the end of this string is the name of the user.

12. Windows-6 TypedURLs  (http://go.microsoft.com)

The last link entered is a bit different. In our case, the browser used is Internet Explorer and the urls are also in the hive. Other browsers usually keep their data in other locations on the drive. The path to the key is NTUSER.DAT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs and the value we are looking for is the first value named url1. The answer is (http://go.microsoft.com)

13.Windows-7   Recently accessced docs folder (HACKPLANET)

(CyberChef  tools )Converts a hexadecimal byte string back into its raw value.

14.Windows-8  Run  (OneDrive.exe)

The key takeaway from the description is “Finding a software that runs when system is restarted”.

So we go to the software registry in Windows\system32\config\ and under Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\, in the execute key

AmcacheParser Forensic tools

The Amcache.hve file is a registry file that stores the information of executed applications.

A common location for Amcache.hve is:

\%SystemRoot%\AppCompat\Programs\Amcache.hve

Export >  Amcache.hve

Loading an Amcache.hve hive from a Windows 10 machine into Registry Explorer, we can see the following layout:

Registry Explorer > Open  Amcache.hve

AmcacheParser searches and sorts out cache information from Microsoft Windows` Amcache.hve registry (a file that stores information about recently run applications/programs). It allows users to differentiate between file entities and program entities when searching and exporting information.

#.\AmcacheParser.exe -f "I:\Export\Amcache.hve" --csv I:\Export

Export to csv file.

DIGITAL FORENSICS: Booting a forensics image on a Virtual Machine

Starting with V9. of OSForensics, booting a forensic image of a system disk as a virtual machine has never been easier.

When performing forensic investigation on an image of a target system drive, it is often necessary to recreate and examine the live environment of the system to acquire all relevant data during the investigation. By running the image as a live system, the investigator can perform a live forensic analysis of the image, allowing for the potential discovery of additional forensic artifacts that may not have been previously uncovered from a traditional static analysis. Finally, because the system is running in a protected virtual environment created from the forensic image file, there is no risk of compromising the target system.

To access this feature from the Start screen, simply click the Boot Virtual Machine icon or module button as shown above.

Users simply need to point OSF to the forensic image file of the target O/S drive, review a few other options and features and click the ‘Boot VM’ button.

Steps

• 1. Select image file.
• 2. Choose OS if image is of a multi-boot system.
• 3. Choose VirtualBox or VM Workstation. (Must be pre-installed)
• 4. Review technical specifications.
• 5. Attach any additional disk images.
• 6. Choose or review VM options and User account to boot.
• 7. Click “Boot VM”
  

After clicking ‘Boot VM’, the real-time log with begin recording all of the processes taking place behind the scenes. Once completed, your VM software will launch and the selected user account will boot…

Analyzing the Live System

Once the boot process is complete, you may begin analyzing and searching through the live system. In addition to being able to review the Desktop layout, the Recycle Bin, and proprietary files in their native application, this also provides a great visual aid for screenshotting evidence to present to a client or in court when necessary.

Screenshots allow you to capture evidence files and artifacts just as they may have appeared through the eyes of the user. Some examples include…

• Jumplists (recent webpages, Word docs, etc.)
• Autorun Apps.
• Previous custom desktop backgrounds
• Settings for certain applications (e.g., CCleaner)
• Search term history from P2P and other applications

Autorun Apps.

Digital Forensics:The Memory Process File System (MemProcFS)

Digital Forensics:The Memory Process File System (MemProcFS)

The Memory Process File System (MemProcFS) is an easy and convenient way of viewing physical memory as files in a virtual file system.

เป็นเครื่องมือช่วยในการศึกษาหน่วยความจำ (Memory) สามารถดึงข้อมูลจากหน่วยความจำ   ออกมาวิเคราะห์ แบบง่าย ๆ  โดยไม่ต้องใช้อาร์กิวเมนต์ commandline ที่ซับซ้อน!

Install

Windows

Download or clone the Memory Process File System github repository. Pre-built binaries are found in the files folder.

Please download and install the latest version of Dokany at: https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/releases/latest It is recommended to download and install the DokanSetup_redist version.

Mounting the file system requires the Dokany file system library to be installed.

#H:\MemProcFS\MemProcFS_files_and_binaries_v4.9.3-win_x64-2

0220718>MemProcFS.exe -device "H:\18 Computer Forensics\CTF\incident-response-challenge.com\Easy - Is that you\Easy - Volatility Find Evil - Is that you\Challenge\memdump.mem" -forensic 1

Python support requires Python 3.6 or later. The user may specify the path to the Python installation with the command line parameter -pythonhome, alternatively download Python 3.7 – Windows x86-64 embeddable zip file and unzip its contents into the files/python folder when using Python modules in the file system.
