Understanding Timeline Analysis in Digital Forensics
Timeline analysis is a critical component of digital forensic investigations. In this article, I explore how to construct
comprehensive timelines from multiple data sources, identify suspicious patterns, and present findings effectively.
Timeline analysis involves correlating events from multiple sources to create a chronological narrative of what happened
on a system. This technique is invaluable for understanding attacker behavior and reconstructing incident sequences.
Key Concepts:
- Master File Table (MFT) analysis
- Windows Event Log correlation
- USNJ (Update Sequence Number Journal) examination
- Artifact cross-referencing
By systematically analyzing these sources, forensic examiners can create powerful narratives that help identify when
compromises occurred and what actions the attacker took.
