The process of recovering intact files from memory or

In a dirty hive situation, where transaction log files
Hive Flush contain data not yet written to the registry, when the
changes are written to disk, it is called a hive flush.
Includes information about which filename extensions
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Contains the majority of the configuration information
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for the software / hardware you have installed and for
the OS itself.
Stores data corresponding to all users who have ever

All email has been located on an email server, but if

The benefit to mounting images is that it is seen as a

their native or associated application, run antivirus
Image Mounting
and malware detection, share with remote computers,
and copy files out of the image. It is also forensically
sound.
Prior to IE10, index.dat files were used to store
Index.dat metadata for browser history, cache, cookies, and
download history.
A filesystem function that makes use of a log file to
Journaling track changes to the metadata to track the state and
integrity of the filesystem at all times.
Allows users to jump to items they frequent. These are
the icons you see if you right click on an app in the
taskbar. Provides another location to verify the
Jumplist
opening and/or creation of non-executable files.
Helps identify wiped/deleted files had existed at one
point.
Tracks the specific executable used by an application
to open the files documented in the OpenSaveMRU
key. Each value also tracks the directory location for
LastVisitedMRU
the last file that was accessed by that application. This
is how OpenSave dialog box shows where you last
opened a file from.
Contains the original path names of the files located

in the Prefetch

Subsystem Service system
(LSASS)
A duplicate set of directories is necessary to store
files form unprivileged use, since not all activities

using the browser are unprivileged. Most of our
internet usage should be found in the low folders.
