Made an update to XstReader. It was unusable with larger ost files. It now loads large ost files in seconds making it usable again. Have a pull request in but not counting on it being accepted due to inactivity. Let me know what you think. #DFIR

Woot!
Not that kind of consent. The UAC kind of consent. Take a dive into how UAC works and some of the things it doesn’t tell you. Also a new utility to solve some of these issues.

When launching a program as admin, consent.exe runs with a parent process of svchost. If successful, consent.exe exits and the new process is launched with explorer as its parent. If not, we can’t always tell what was trying to be ran. Until now. github.com/Beercow/Cons...

Adding a parser for Microsoft.FilesOnDemand.db to OneDriveExplorer. Yet another source to rebuild the user’s OnDrive. More to come. #DFIR
Did a little digging in Microsoft.FileUsageSync.db. Found some information to piece together OneDrive Quick Access. #DFIR

Correct me if I’m wrong bit what you described is Xbox from day one.
In case you missed it. New release of OneDriveExplorer. It has a dedicated parser for MicrosoftListSync.db (offline mode). #DFIR

That time of year again when everybody starts abbreviating cybersecurity awareness month as CSAM. 21 pages deep of google searches for that term and not a single mention of cybersecurity awareness month. Go figure.
OneDrive Evolution has been updated to v25.162.0820.0001. That’s 692 versions OneDriveExplorer now handles. SafeDelete.db has been updated to schema v9. Enjoy!

Appears OneDrive snuck a new sync client in. Works with personal accounts at the moment. It’s WebView2. You can find data in the following locations:
AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OD4
AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\Logs\OD4
Where are my browser forensics experts at? #DFIR
Updated OneDrive Evolution. You can now compare two versions of OneDrive and see what has changed. #DFIR

Something you may not know. OneDriveExplorer also works for the OneDrive sync client for macOS.

Today we learned Fishrocket (the one with the doughnut) has cancer. It’s an aggressive form of mast cell tumors. Treatment usually involves removing them but there are too many. They prescribe prednisone because they itch. Has diabetes so can’t give him prednisone. Poor guy.
1/ I successfully tested a LSASS dumping technique on a Windows 10 lab machine, which we encountered on a recent Incident Response engagement (no EDR, default Defender installed).
The "MiniDumpWriteDump" technique, as described here [1], was successful in writing the LSASS process to disk.
Another interesting forensic artifact in OneDrive. UXDatabase.db
Updates on the OneDrive sync client.

New folder and databases in the OneDrive sync client. Not sure what feature they are tied to yet. More to come. #DFIR
New laptop, new stickes. 😜
