This skill details advanced digital forensics techniques for recovering metadata and content of deleted files by analyzing the NTFS Master File Table ($MFT). It covers examining key system artifacts like $LogFile and $UsnJrnl, and analyzing MFT slack space. Use this when reconstructing file system timelines, investigating data loss, or detecting anti-forensic techniques like timestomping during a Windows forensic examination.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for digital forensic investigators to analyze ransomware artifacts. This process involves preserving volatile evidence (memory dumps), identifying the ransomware variant from file extensions and ransom notes, establishing the attack timeline using Prefetch and Event Logs, and extracting critical Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) such as Bitcoin addresses and Tor sites. Essential for incident response and recovery planning.
