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

ปัญหาที่พบ

• โปรแกรมยังไม่สามารถ Automate decode ได้ เราต้อง copy ค่าใน Registry ไป  Decode โดยเครื่องมืออื่น ๆ
• supports  forensic images  (E01) and raw (dd) formats, VHD disk images, physically mounted slave drives, and the contents of directories as evidence แต่ไม่สนับสนุน  *.L01,*.AD
