Windows Events log for IR/Forensics ,Part 1
In the time of incidents, Windows Event logs provide a plenty of useful information for the Incident responder.As you know Windows can generate thousands of events in few minutes ,in this diary I will talk about some of the most useful events and in the next diary I would discuss how to use PowerShell to search for them .
Here is of the most useful events for Forensics/Incident response:

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
