Hack.lu: Anti-Forensics - You are doing it wrong
Table of Contents
Abstract
In this talk, we’ll dissect common anti-forensics strategies—like USN Journal deletion, shellbag clearing, timestamp manipulation, and disabling access time updates—and reveal how they are often executed ineffectively or misunderstood.
From registry edits like masking user account activity to configuring Windows EFS, we’ll examine why these techniques often fail against modern investigative workflows and how defenders use these “footprints of erasure” to uncover malicious intent.
Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn’t and how to identify these techniques during incident response. Whether you’re an IR consultant, security analyst, or blue teamer, this talk offers actionable knowledge to outsmart adversarial anti-forensics tactics.
