Abstract

This paper describes the design and prototypic implementation of a forensic tool for the automated analysis of the Windows registry. The concept provides a complete object-oriented analysis of functional requirements as well as detailed descriptions of the program components and the software architecture of the tool. The prototypical implementation of the tool on basis of the developed concept shows its consistency. The implementation is partially described as object-oriented design. Here, special emphasis is placed on the ease of maintenance and extensibility of the program. Information to keys, which are to be read during the analysis are defined in the XML script files. The subsequently defined tests prove the consistency of the concept and the implementation [8].
