Daily Blog #571: Forensic Lunch Test Kitchen 12/18/18 Syscache

Hello Reader,
        Another evening, another test kitchen! Tonight we looked even deeper into the Syscache and we learned:


  • Bat files are recorded in the Syscache hives when executed
  • Bat files and other executables run from the Desktop are not recorded in the Syscache
  • Powershell files (ps1) are not caught in the Syscache hive
  • Deleting a file did not eliminate it from the Syscache hive 
  • Installing a program recorded its installer, but the program did not prepopulate an entry in the Syscache hive
  • Creating a bat file did not pre-populate it in the Syscache hive
