Event logs are the best source of truth during investigations ⚠️

⚡️ Essential Commands
📜 Get-EventLog -LogName Security -Newest 20 → Recent security events
🖥 Get-EventLog -LogName System -Newest 20 → System log review
🔎 Get-WinEvent -LogName Security → Modern event querying
🚨 Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName='Security'; ID=4625} → Failed logons
📡 wevtutil qe Security /c:20 /f:text → Read security logs via CMD
⚠️ Get-WinEvent -FilterXPath "*[System[Level=1 or Level=2]]" → Critical & error events
📂 Get-WinEvent -ListLog * → List available event logs

💡 Monitoring Security, System & PowerShell logs helps detect brute force attacks, privilege escalation & malicious activity early

⚠️ Attackers often clear or tamper with logs — centralized logging & SIEM monitoring are critical

🔵 Windows DFIR Artifacts Every Investigator Should Know

🔥 Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

DFIR isn’t just about logs — every Windows system leaves forensic traces behind ⚠️

⚡️ Critical Windows DFIR Artifacts
📂 Prefetch → Tracks executed applications
🧾 Event Logs (EVTX) → Logons, errors & attacker activity
🔍 PowerShell Logs → Script execution & obfuscation detection
🛡 Sysmon Logs → Process creation & network connections
🌐 Browser Artifacts → History, downloads & sessions
📌 Registry Hives → Persistence & execution evidence
📄 JumpLists & LNK Files → Recently accessed files/apps
💾 Memory Dumps → Malware, credentials & injected processes
📡 RDP / WinRM Logs → Remote access tracking
🗑 Recycle Bin & $MFT → Deleted files & NTFS metadata

💡 Attackers may delete files, but forensic artifacts often remain hidden across logs, registry hives & NTFS metadata

⚠️ Mastering Windows DFIR artifacts is essential for Incident Response, Threat Hunting & Malware Analysis

Email attacks remain one of the biggest entry points for phishing, spoofing & business email compromise ⚠️

⚡️ Key Email Security Technologies
🛡 SPF → Prevents unauthorized mail servers from sending emails on behalf of your domain
✍️ DKIM → Verifies message integrity using cryptographic signatures
📨 DMARC → Enforces email authentication policies & blocks spoofed emails

⚡️ Security Strength Comparison
⭐️ SPF Alone → Basic spoofing protection
⭐️⭐️ DKIM Alone → Detects email tampering
⭐️⭐️⭐️ SPF + DKIM → Strong protection against spoofing & modification
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SPF/DKIM + DMARC → Enterprise-grade email security

💡 Using SPF, DKIM & DMARC together dramatically reduces phishing, spoofing & fake domain abuse

⚠️ Misconfigured email security can allow attackers to impersonate trusted domains & bypass filters
