Listen "DFSP # 428 - It’s all about that XML"
Episode Synopsis
When you're triaging a Windows system for evidence of compromise, it's ideal if your plan is focused on some quick wins upfront. There are certain artifacts that offer this opportunity, and Windows Events for New Scheduled Tasks are one of them. Sometimes overlooked, at least in part, because the good stuff contained within the XML portion of the log. This week I'm covering the artifact from a DFIR point of view, I'll go over all the elements of the log entry that are of interest for investigations, and I'll provide a triage methodology that you can employ to find evidence quickly.
