Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) Exam Prep | Already Graded What is a swap file? - Space on a hard disk used as virtual memory expansion for RAM System time is one example of volatile information that forensic investigators should collect. What are types of time that should be recorded? - System time, wall time, time system has been running (Date /t and Time /t can be typed in a command prompt in windows to retrieve the system time) Choose the list of tools and commands used to determine logged-on users: - PsLoggedOn, Net Sessions, LogonSession What tools can be used to see which files are open? - Net file, PsFile, Openfiles (Net file reveals names of all open shared files and the number of file locks, PsFile shows list of files open remotely, openfiles can be used to list or disconnect all open files and folders) True or False: When connections are made to other systems using NetBIOS communications, the system will maintain a list of other systems connected. By viewing the contents of the name table cache, an investigator might be able to find other systems affected. - True (A cache is duplicate data stored in a temporary location so a computer can rapidly access that data. In this case, the NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table may contain a list of systems that a computer has connected to. nbtstat -c can be used to view the cache of NetBIOS names on the host operating system) It appears the suspect's computer is connected to a network, what is one thing an investigator should look for? - Network connections (Information about network connections can expire over time so an investigator must collect evidence as soon as possible after an incident.) What are two commands to obtain network information? - netstat -ano & netstat -r (* netstat -ano shows active connections including protocol, local address, foreign address, state and PID * netstat -r shows the routing table * netstat -b displays the executable involved in creating the connection * netstat -v is used in conjunction with -b to show sequence of components involved) What are two ways to view running processes on Windows? - TaskManager & Tasklist command When there is an open network connection, some process must be responsible for using that connection. What commands can be used to view the port? - netstat -o & fport (* netstat -o shows process to port mappings * netstat -b shows the executable involved in creating each connection (Windows XP) * fport shows process-to-port mappings but must be executed with administrator privileges) What command can be used to view command history? - doskey /history & scroll up in the command window (If a command window is open, the investigator can scroll up to see command history. But the attacker may have typed cls to clear the screen. Then, the investigator can use the doskey /history command to see the history.) What are two registry settings that could impact a forensic analysis and investigation? - ClearPageFileAtShutdown & DisableLastAccess (* ClearPageFileAtShutdown - tells the OS to clear the page file when the system is shut down. This will clear virtual memory in the swap file. * DisableLastAccess - disables updating of the last access times on files so the timestamp might not be accurate) What is the I file used for? - AutoComplete & Redundant information such as visited URLs, search queries, recently opened files (* I is used for redundant information such as AutoComplete information. * I can be found in the History folder for Internet Explorer) Which of the following is true about the swap file? - Hidden file in the root directory called & Registry path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management (The swap file can be organized as a contiguous space so fewer I/O operations are required to read and write. It is a hidden file in the root directory called .) Each process of Windows is represented as an _______. - Executive process (Each process on a Windows system is represented as an executive process or EProcess. EProcess block is a data structure containing attributes of the process and pointers to threads and process environment blocks.) What command is used to view EProcess block? - dt -a -b -v _EPROCESS
