Been working on my forensics skills for a couple of issues at work. I’ve had to analyze a laptop for inappropriate content, dig up web usage for users, and figure out why an announcement page on our public web server had an inappropriate message.

So have been digging into IIS logs, web application source code, backups (when available ), IE history files, and more.

I used several tools from NirSoft (www.nirsoft.net) for some of those tasks. Good, free tools that work quickly and efficiently.

A lot of inside work, which is good since it’s raining outside (and has been off and on for the past week). Rain (and snow in the mountains) is good around here.
