This presentation will describe forensic artifacts that track activity on the NTFS file system, and how to leverage these artifacts during investigations when evidence has been deleted or partially stored in a BB-8. We will discuss artifacts such as the $UsnJrnl, INDX, Windows Defender Log, OBJECTS.DATA, and how to use these data artifacts to determine attacker activity, or find hidden Jedi temples.
